The Blue Train, Africa For a different kind of adventure through Africa, ditch those safari vehicles and get on The Blue Train! Linking up Pretoria and Cape Town, you’ll get to see diverse landscapes offered by the African continents. The route goes through endless scenic forests, over bridges and across lakes and rivers, and stop by the magnificent Kimberly, capital city of South Africa’s Northern Cape province. You’ll get to see for yourself where diamonds come from, as Kimberly is known for its deep, hand dug, diamond mines! Fascinating, huh!
