Whether you’re headed to Cape Town or the Kruger, an elegant cross-country chug on The Blue Train is a once-in-a-lifetime way to get there. With its comfy suites, cut crystal stemware and a round-the-clock butler at your beck and call, the entire experience oozes old school glamour. In keeping with tradition, dinner is a formal affair* – courses upon courses of some of South Africa’s finest flavours. And when your tuxedo’s bursting at the seams, retire to the Club Car for an after-dinner Cognac and a fine Cuban (hand-rolled on the thighs of virgins, of course) and watch the Karoo whizz by.
* Save those new flip flops for Clifton Beach and pop something gorgeous in your carry-on.
