#A platform in a Cape
Town station is the first step to discovering the riches that lie in the heart
of South Africa-from a once-in-a-lifetime train ride, to wildlife safaris,
historic battlefields, inspiring mountain treks and blissful isolation on the
coast.
The Blue Train-Best
for rail journeys : Ride the rails from Cape Town to Pretoria on a train
inspired by 1920s glamour, as the mountains of the Cape and the expenses of the
Karoo pass by.
Kruger National Park-Best
for wildlife : One of the most important wildlife reserves in Africa, the
Kruger has the Big Five game animals of safari legend and countless more
species besides
Isandlwana & Rorke’s Drift-Best for Battlefields : The
rolling heartland of the Zulu people is dotted with battle sites whose names
loom large in the colonial history of the nation.
Drakensberg-Best
for hiking : The rooftop of South Africa catches the clouds and sends swift
rivers rushing through dramatic gorges that make for prime walking country.
Wild Coast-Best
for seclusion : The surf breaks along a
coast that’s far from urban centres, where local life continues largely
unchanged among the rondavels (thatched huts).
