Journey Highlights
The route between Pretoria and Cape Town is a 54-hour journey of 1600 kilometres (994 miles), through some of the most varied and awe-inspiring scenery offered by the African sub-continent. On the Northbound journey, the train leaves Cape Town at 12:00 and arrives in Pretoria by 18:00, well in time for high tea the following day. It stops at Matjiesfontein for an amazing off-the-train excursion. On arrival at Matjiesfontein guests are invited for a glass of sherry at the bar. The Victorian buildings and original nineteenth century London lampposts take you back in time and you feel like you have entered into the colonial era.
