South Africa’s luxurious rail service, The Blue Train, is set to resume private charter services this month and will restart leisure travel and a full schedule from 1 November 2020, dependent on further pronouncements from the government. The move comes as the country moves to alert Level 2 in response to the pandemic.

The Blue Train in South Africa has extended its COVID-19 related operation halt until 30 September 2020.

South Africa’s The Blue Train has announced two unique departures in 2020 that will include an entire day exploring Kruger National Park as part of the three-day journey.

South Africa’s The Blue Train is offering an amazing special for this Festive Season, with a ‘Two for the price of one – your partner travels Free’ promotion. The special is priced from R16,430.00 for a De Luxe suite for two people. Normal commissions are applicable.

Operating from Cape Town to Pretoria (and in reverse) in South Africa, the 39 hour journey will see the locomotive depart in the afternoon of the first day from Cape Town and in the evening on the first day from Pretoria, enabling guests to enjoy the Western Cape.
