The Blue Train will launch its rail safari departures from Pretoria to Hoedspruit, Limpopo, in 2016.

The two round trips will offer guests a choice of four 19-hour one-way journeys to combine with a safari stay in one of the many wildlife reserves and private safari lodges in the Greater Kruger and Sabi Sand areas.

Departures from Pretoria will take place on July 8 and August 12, 2016. Guests can also join the rail journey after their safari, travelling from Hoedspruit to Pretoria on either July 9 or August 13. Departures are at 15h00 for all trips, arriving at 10h00 the next day.
