Pretoria, Cape Town

After our flight from Botswana we drive to Capital Park Train Station and board our train for a two-night rail journey. This is train travel in style, with personal butler service, and an opportunity to wind through the heart of South Africa in elegant luxury.

Along the way we also enjoy two off-train visits to the Kimberley diamond mine and the Victorian town of Matjiesfontein in the Karoo desert. When not watching the landscapes from the observation deck, Bushtracks Rangers stay busy with activities led by their counselor.
