The Blue Train will make occasional special departures to the Greater Kruger area for the remainder of 2018 and 2019, allowing passengers to combine a one-way journey with a safari, either within the Kruger National Park itself, or at one of the luxury lodges within the area.
Guests of The Blue Train, which usually travels between Cape Town and Pretoria, can expect 19 hours of pampering on board, as the train departs Pretoria at 15h00, arriving in Hoedspruit at 10h00 the next morning, or vice versa.
This is also an ideal option for those with a budget or tighter itinerary, wanting to experience The Blue Train, as the saving per suite is around R21 690 (€1309), compared with the longer Cape Town journey.
