South Africa’s iconic Blue Train announces brand new package for June 2014

Book Trailfinders’ “Western Cape and Wilderness by Luxury Rail” holiday  and “B” our guest for 3 nights for the price of 1 in June.

There has rarely been a better time to plan a trip to South Africa thanks to the current exchange rate. Not only are you getting nearly 18 South African Rand to the Pound – but there are some sensational special offers available as South Africa heads into its low season.

The Blue Train, Africa’s leading Luxury Train and a popular “bucket list” travel experience for many discerning travellers – has not only come down in price thanks to the favourable exchange rate - but it continues to offer exceptional value-adds and has just announced a brand new package providing guests with 2 complimentary hotel nights to add to their overnight rail journey in June 2014.

This June, The Blue Train has not only added extra departures to its schedule trips, but when you book to travel from Pretoria to Cape Town or vice-versa; you don’t just get one but two night’s complimentary accommodation at any one of its preferred hotel partners.  

The hotel selections in Pretoria include the classic Sheraton or stunning Castello di Monte, while the choices in Cape Town include the luxurious Taj Hotel or The Westin, both set in ideal locations in the heart of the city.

The two nights have to be taken consecutively pre or post The Blue Train journey. The package also includes a hotel breakfast and a one way transfer to or from the train station, making this an unprecedented value for guests who opt to travel on the most lavish train on the planet. The promotion is valid for new bookings on departures from Pretoria to Cape Town on 02, 09 and 16 June, or from Cape Town to Pretoria on 04, 11, and 18 June. For the remainder of 2014, all guests on other departures are still entitled to one complimentary hotel night at these pre-selected hotels.
