Reasons To
Visit South Africa

  • Self Drive

    The most economical and by far the most popular way to experience South Africa is on a self drive. The roads are good, traffic tends to be light and driving is on the left.

  • Wine Tasting

    Within easy driving distance of Cape Town, the valleys of Paarl, Stellenbosch and Franschhoek have become known as 'The Winelands'. Here you can admire the manicured rows of green and russet vines and even stop to sample the local tipple.

  • Cape Town

    Cape Town – one of the world’s great cities, Cape Town has excellent accommodation, is easy to explore and is the gateway to the Wine Regions and Garden Route. Cape Town is an ideal place to start your trip around South Africa.

  • Whale Watching

    Hermanus and Walker Bay, near Cape Town, are perhaps the best places in the world to spot whales from the shore (Jun-Dec). Whale watching trips from boats are also popular in South Africa.

The Blue Train

Cape Town, The Cape Region & Winelands

The Blue Train is the last word in railway luxury. Every effort has been made to ensure your journey passes in a blissful cocoon of comfort and elegance.

By day, your private compartment has comfortable chairs allowing you to relax and admire the vistas of Africa as they glide past. When outside your compartment, you can relax in the club car with a drink and the friendly company of the barman, or you could spend time right at the back of the train in the lounge car, where panoramic windows showcase the country through which you are passing.

As night falls, whilst you dine on superb food enjoying silver service, your butler will be converting the chairs in your room into comfortable beds, with crisp linen to ease you into slumber.

Advanced air suspension and effective soundproofing ensure that the normal swaying and clacking of rail travel will not keep you from your dreams.
