ABOARD THE WORLDS MOST LUXURIOUS TRAIN - BLUE TRAIN SA

My dad worked for the South African railways and sold the first ever ticket for the Blue Train, this was in the days before Internet and online booking.

It is a beautiful and luxurious train in South Africa. I did this trip in June 2017. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. It was very relaxing. We boarded at 08:00 in the morning and arrived the next day around 18:00 in Cape Town. It is expensive, but a very worthwhile memory. In June 2019, I did the Rovos Rail trip from Pretoria to Cape Town. This train travels slower, so it is a 2 night and almost 3 day trip to Cape Town, with two excursions, the one in Kimberley and the other one in Matjiesfontein. Rovos Rail is proudly South African and for sure the pride of Africa. I think each of these trains is in their own class and a very worthwhile memory. I love trains and I loved how vibrant and energetic this video was made. It brings back lovely memories.

Being on a train like that, I think I'd feel compelled to dress up for every meal.

The answer to the silverware question is... Start from the outside... work your way in... Your server will then remove or add silverware... Depending on what course you are in... Easy.

Now this is the way to travel. So posh. Thank you as always for taking us along with you via your vlogs. They're awesome. Safe travels and Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Those flamingos were amazing! Looked like a really nice time!

That brought back memories. I had the berth with a bath in the bathroom. So, apart from all the other delights of the train, I had a bath while travelling. Between Pretoria and Jo'burg the steward gave me a tour of the unoccupied three-room suite in the centre of my carriage. In 1991, there wasn't the pre-trip lounge at the station. If I remember correctly, this train has the corridor on the western side, so that the hot sun doesn't strike directly into the compartments. I still use the Victorix pen-knife, with its Blue Train logo, which I bought in the lounge car.

I love Trains so much. Ever since I watched Anastasia as a kid I've always just wanted to ride on a train for days like that. Would be so awesome.

My hubby and I won our honeymoon to Cape town flight there and Blue train back to JHB. This was amazing and 23yrs ago this past October.

The most exciting part of the whole trip was watching the two of you enjoying and appreciating one another. Do keep it up.

I’ve been watching so many of your old videos and I’m obsessed

So jealous, that looked absolutely amazing

OMG everything is absolutely immaculate, gorgeous and luxurious but still almost feels quaint. It's the tinyness of the train made as luxurious as possible. Would absolutely put this on my bucket list of things to do.

Wow just seeing the video i felt like i’m back in the 20’s - 40’s!! This is how trains were like and the food as well!! I’m really surprised i didn’t expect these trains actually exist

The train looks so amazing! Merry Christmas!

So excited! So good! So comforty! So much love blue eyes blonde hair (pretty teeth) women!

OMG that train journey looks AMAZING

Thanks for the nice trip and wish you a pleasant times .

This was an amazing travel Blog, we are booking for our next trip in South Africa 🇿🇦 and the Blue Train because of your blog. Definitely the way a travel blog should be thanks, keep em coming

I have to try this when I go back to S.A thanks guys..

quarantine made me watch this hahahah

Really enjoyed your video. That experience looks amazing. I would love to visit South Africa.

Lovely video and look as if you throughly enjoyed this. Well presented.

keep in mind, this is only one of the most luxurious trains in the world. The number 1 luxury train in the Southern Hemisphere is actually the Rovos Rail "Pride of Africa".

Awesome video! Hope you all are having a great holiday!

Awesome! Thanks for the ride!

I liked the 2 drinks. Especially the one with the green leaves. Oh yeah 😍

How awesome is that! Definitely on my bucket list.

it seems SO cozy!

Thank you for that! Great vlog. Enjoyed it very much.

The scenery is definitely reminiscent of Australia and the Kimberley hole of Mt Gambier’s Blue Lake. Looks like a great train ride though- I am putting it on my bucket list!

Aww you guys are amazing together ❤️

Well finally I am jealous! I must have been so much fun for you two. :)

How fun is that train!!!! I would love to ride it just once!!

Nice train. Great that you have been able to get up to date with the vlogs. Hope you are having a nice Christmas

That was fun. Merry Christmas to the two of you.

I really enjoyed this video. Many thanks.

@5:34... That salad is to die for !!!!

Binge watching your videos ahhhhh so good!

those blue eyes 😍😍

Wonderful video. I need a vacation post Covid lockdown. I have wanted to visit South Africa for years. Maybe this will be the years.

Those cocktails got to them at the end of the video! 😂

I'm 4yrs late but the drink he had was a mojito. Beautiful train and scenery. Well now be subscribing.

This video is awesome!

Beautiful woman, lucky guy and great trip 😀

That looked so amazing xxx

5:08 From the outside to within for each dish / course.

Great job!

Why would anyone want to watch when they are travelling through such magnificent countryside!

Beautiful team thank u from Egypt

Heard about this train but definitely got my attention after this, looks amazing! Need to add this to my list. I suggest try the Orient Express. It was the most fun because of the compulsory formal wear for the entire journey, - pack several formal wear. The party atmosphere at the bar was memorable where at the end of the evening passengers who were strangers at first were singing and dancing the night away like old friends. Only downside was the shared loo and no shower! You only have a wash basin in the room and the bunk beds config is not great if it's a romantic getaway. The Maharaja Express from New Delhi is perfect for a romantic and less formal experience. It was over the top luxury (every morning I was showered with flower petals and red carpet!), daily amazing excursions (a safari, Taj Mahal to name a few), amazing food by a renown Indian chef on board to cook whatever you want and the luxury cabin with spacious toilet and shower. The only downside is the train rocks more than any western railway and do ask for a room to the middle of the train if you want a good night sleep! The Hiram Bingham train in Peru takes you from historic Cusco to Machu Picchu is the luxury alternative to hiking to the gates of the site. While hike when you can champagne it up and back down again after seeing awesome Machu Picchu. Again fun atmosphere at the bar. I only wish it was longer. My next trip is the Canadian Rockies then back to India on the Golden Chariot. Now I've seen this video, this is now on my hit list. Thanks

Been on this train - it's spectacular !

Guys, you are awesome! I love your energy, good mood....keep doing a great job! ;)

that looks like so much fun

Thank you!!! So fun travelling with you🎉🚅🍷😍

Gongratulations for getting one million views!

Wonderful Travel Video The Flamingo's Are There In Peace, Because No Humans Are There. Living In Peace

Wonderful luxury

I did enjoy this video ❤️

Y'all are adorable!

Oh my word I nearly jumped when they said Kimberley. I stay in Kimberley. The city of diamonds. New subbie.🤗🤗🤗

Beautiful

I really enjoy your videos

Thank you for sharing

Nice happy friendly couple. and what a stunning train! Do you have a part 2? The most spectacular scenery would have been nearing Cape Town. The only negative comment I have is that a shabby old t-shirt looks so out of place in such a posh dinning car, like wearing shorts and sandals to the Oscars ;-)

I'm so jealous but excited for you guys!!!! Goal #101

I would totally have to take a shower on a moving train, this train ride looks amazing!!

Now I'm even grumpier when daily traveling with Deutsche Bahn

Great trip. FYI on table etiquette - cutlery - you always start from the outside and work in on cutlery. You had a fish knife there as well. Cheers and rock on guys.

This is Awesome

Thank you!

Cool video!

I have gone on the blue train 3 Times and luxery is total beaty

come to india & experience the Golden Chariot or the Palace on Wheels..you will see what luxurious trains actually mean!

Dining Etiquette:always start from the outside going inward toward the plate, Salad , Dinner , dessert.

I am fallowing you from istanbul...i learned excursion today. 😊

I took this trip last year. Be prepared to see some awful slums ("informal settlements") along the rail tracks in some places. I was told many of these settlements are immigrants from outside of SA

I Love It a Lot
