AMAZING LUXURY TRAIN JOHANNESBURG to CAPE TOWN | Premier Classe Tour 

Drove Johannesburg to Cape Town and back. Beautiful drive. Think almost 14 hrs each way. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a more beautiful sky. It was so dark you could see every star.

Thanks so much for posting. As a family we travelled the length and breadth of South Africa by sleeper train throughout the 80’s, so this video conjured up fantastic childhood memories. The destination was always second to the splendour of the train journey.

Buket list trip I'm so taken away by the beauty of South Africa

This is one of my favourite videos! I can't how many times I revisit your channel just to watch this! Thank you once again! Thank you for sharing this with the world 🙏🏿❤️

Great - we'll do it this July!!!

My bucket list. 😊

Always wanted to do this, Thank you for the motivation and making a great video.

I have been in shosholoza meyl train, I like that, it was never bored, so cozy, comfortable, fun! I did eat restaurant, drank a beer, bought chocolate, I had a wonderful sleep, in the morning while I get up, I have cheap coffee. I will go to Cape Town by shosholoza meyl train in March.

Oh, what a lovely ride and exquisite video. Thank you.

Nicely made.

Wow...what a GREAT trip...thx for sharing

First time I knew about the Premiere class and live in South Africa. I knew of the others

I really had no idea. Shall be going to Parkstation to have a ride in gautrain but had no idea about this. December, for sure. Vetri EC Komani. 🙏🇿🇦🙏

I took the normal Shosholoza Meyl train numerous times from Johannesburg to Cape Town, and love it. Sadly the mainline trains as they call the long distance trains, had a lot of issues with services halted due to accidents and the Railway Safety Regulator forcing SA Rail Services to stop passenger services. It resumed November 2020, but was stopped again in December 2020, due to another accident, where the signalers are not doing their jobs as they are suppose to. I still want to use the Premiere Classe train at some stage when all is back to normal.

I did this trip in 2010. Was fantastic.

Took it twice from JHB to CPT, great experience... Prasa must just fix itself and be more functional once more

Really beautiful

Bella😀

Very nice video love from india

Very beautiful. Unfortunately many of us Africans can't afford.

Just bought tickets to SA and planning to do the train journey. This video got me very excited and I can't wait

I wish my hubby and I had been on the train

For anybody else who noticed for a rail journey through Africa there is a distinct lack of Africans in this clip, let me say that whatever you have been told, African people are the warmest most generous open-hearted people you will meet. And it's true that those with the least to give are often the most generous. So go to Africa. It is a place breathtaking in its beauty, the people are wonderful. And they are always honoured that you have chosen their land to visit.

PRASA recent announcement brought me here 😅

Nice video. Viewer feedback: 1. very good camera work. No sudden swings left or right. Many views up and down the train and the cabin as well as the scenery. 2. Too short : 15 - 20 min. would be good. 3. More voice commentary would be better. Reading graphics distracts from the view.

Fantastic Video!

This is a positive channel and I haven't seen any racial slurs in the comment section I refused to read it all

It is not a luxury train but a nice comfortable train

how much is the ticket

So what does it cost and how long does it take??? Please.

Hey there, I'm travelling to South Africa in November. How safe is Joburg Park Station? Did you take a taxi to the station? Did you feel unsafe boarding or waiting for your train at the station? Thank you!

Is that the blue or shosholoza trains

hi how muchwas the ticket ?

Any short journey there from Johannesburg to cape town ?and how much cost and how can we book the tickets

The railway infrastructure was looted like crazy so probably a trip like this is impossible

how much?

This a experience of life time....beware everything comes at a price

Is it still functional

Plz come India I will show u my country

I'm concerned, you sit down the the whole 28 hours? Is there a cabin for sleeping?

Ticket prices

How much does it cost for train?

Didn't know the rail system still works in this country 😢 shame

Not a single back person in sight (except the workers). Fellow black people, we need to embark on such nice experiences also...

WOW! Just look at that. All that time on a train. 1200KM sipping bubbly. The only Africans who ever appear are the staff. And as for Braamfontein where Park Station is being "in a bad neighbourhood" go spend a weekend in Chicago, or Detroit or Baltimore. Because I know where I felt safer and where I was shot at!

We travelled from Johannesburg to Cape town on this Premier Class train. Unfortunately because of rail theft and signal cable theft the train stopped in Kimberly and we were bussed to Capetown in old busses without toilets. South Africa's aging rail system is today not safe anymore. This we were told by the train manager. Never again.

I am South African and it's a wonder you did not crash and die or got robbed at Park Station...

You put your life on the line, can't believe you rode it alone, definitely today u won't. I would never with all the crime killings in country, still can't believe how you got the guts to do it, It's so dangerous,

This journey must be for those people who never get out, or live under a rock. The views look awful, the food seemed to be that of a Fast Food Diner, I took a look at this Train Journey as the wording said Amazing and luxury. This film never came over as Amazing and certainly no signs of luxury - IMO and like so many of these Train Journeys, they are just so dammed borring and the food the same. I just think that whilst there are some Luxury Trains out there Serving the Industry, this is not one of them. For those thinking of adding this to their to do list, please read the reviews on Trip Advisor first and be prepared to be shocked!!! Mr Spence Eng

WHAT is luxury about this train?------it looks awful!

Is this for Whites Only? "Sleg Blankes"???
