A 1 night/2 day 5 STAR luxury train journey from Pretoria to Cape Town. Please note that this package has, for the sake of convenience to the system, been worked out and priced from Johannesburg International Airport to Cape Town International Airport. However, these transfers will be flexible to your needs as to your starting or end destinations within the area. (There is also the option of travelling in a luxury suite at an additional surcharge).

Day 1
Pretoria. You will be met and transferred from Johannesburg Airport or your hotel in the area to Pretoria Station an hour before the scheduled 08h50 departure. Depart Pretoria Station at 08h50. and you are on our way. The journey to the heart of South Africa's finest winelands and one of the fairest cities on earth: Cape Town, covers 1 600 kilometres (994 miles). The Blue Train passes the gold fields of the Witwatersrand, the grain, fruit and sunflower farms of the northern Cape, on to Kimberley, seat of South Africa's original diamond rush. Kimberley is the town where Cecil John Rhodes established De Beers, today the biggest diamond mining concern in the world. From there you see the desolately beautiful Karoo thirst lands where ancient fossils attest to its history as a primeval swamp, where ostriches run wild, where the skies erupt into dramatic sunsets and from which Olive Schreiner, author of the classic South African novel, Story of an African Farm, drew much of her inspiration.

Day 2
Arrive at Cape Town station at 12h00. This morning you will see the sun rise over the Hex River Mountains. Imbibe the emerald green Eden of the Hex River Valley, where most of South Africa's export grapes are grown. Late autumn produces one of the world's most extravagant natural sights when the barlinka vines transform into blazing crimson. The Hex River is also famous for one of South Africa's most romantic and ghostly legends about a beautiful young girl, Eliza Meiring who, in 1768, went mad after her beloved fell to his death in the forbidding Matroosberg mountains. Crossing the Hex River mountain range was a daunting task for surveyors in 1876 who had to plot the course the tracks should follow. The 16,3-kilometer (10.13-mile) Hex River Tunnel system, the fourth longest in the world, is a monument to advanced engineering skills. Nearing the end of our journey,, we head to the town of Paarl, set in a wide, fertile valley surrounded by purple-hued mountains. The town, which was established in 1720 by French Huguenot settlers, is further distinguished by the oak-lined streets and beautiful old Cape Dutch buildings.

Location
The largest inland town in the Cape Province, Paarl, is about 60 km North-east of Cape Town, approximately 40 minutes by car. Renowned for its illustrious past and unrivalled scenic beauty, Paarl is dominated by 3 huge granite domes which is Paarl Mountain, and the Berg River which flows through the town. The history of Paarl dates back to 1657 when Abraham Gabbema visited the Berg River valley on one of his exploration trips inland from the Cape settlement. The legend goes that Gabbema stumbled into this beautiful valley after a rainstorm and seeing the glistening granite domes, promptly named it De Paarl (The Pearl), a name which stayed till today. Paarl is the heart of South Africa’s winelands and boasts the headquarters of KWV (Cooperative Wine Growers’ Association) and the start of the Paarl Wine Route. It is primarily an agricultural-based village with few industries. Annual events like the Nederburg Wine Auction, The Festival of the Vine, KWV Canoe Marathon and Paarl Golf Tournaments attract nation-wide interest.
