72hrs on Ultra Luxury Sleeper Train | The Blue Train

Join me as I take one of the world’s most luxurious First Class trains across an entire country. Welcome onboard the famous Blue Train, which has run for almost 100 years across giving passengers one of the most exclusive ways to travel. I’ll show you exactly what it’s like to travel for 72 hours on the rails! From the fine dining in the restaurant, to the club lounge and my favourite, the observation lounge with floor to ceiling views of the countryside. As for my room, I’ve booked two, one for my Dad (Luxury Suite) and one for myself (De Luxe Suite). The luxury suite even has a bath which should prove an interesting experience travelling at 50mph! As usual this experience was paid for by myself in full.

High appreciation for the fact that you did let your dad stay with the best suite. Shows a high standard of respect & heritage.

[Letukile]

I appreciate your honesty about the food you enjoyed and the dishes you didn't. Makes the video authentic

[radamadam]

Giving your dad the most luxurious suite, just shows your character & upbringing. Well done bro, you have my respect. ❤

[aubreychadwickwhite]

Enjoy your dad while you still have him.❤

Many years ago my father was top- notch chef on the Blue train, making delicious food for all!

Some years ago, my mother and I agreed to go on a luxury train ride together, when she was retired (now 58) and I had a proper job (soon). This kind of video makes me look forward so greatly to when we can do this together, like you and your dad.

What a lovely journey! Thanks for "buying" us a ticket to join you both!

Lovely to see a South African video, and to know that we still compare with the best. We are often overlooked on these programmes. Thanks for this.

I already have a simple thing at this point. An instant new Trek Trendy vid = another satisfying vid to watch.

South African here. I'm a millennial and heard about the Blue Train in my childhood and early teens at school. I had no idea that it still exists! Thing is, our railroads have been abandoned so I thought that along with the majority of our trains sitting gathering dust...the Blue Train was a thing of the past. Thanks for the review and cost. I have driven from Joburg to Cape Town (around 18 hours with regular stops at petrol stations), have taken the bus (around 2 days, with a hundred stops along the way), and have flown there the majority of the times (less than 2 hours). It would be cool to experience this journey on a luxury train!

I like it when you bring your father along. He seems like a cheerful ole chap.

If I ever win the lottery, I would love to spend the rest of my life on train journeys, ferry trips, cargo ship travel etc. What a relaxing way to travel and see the world.

Your Dad is adorable!! 😊❤ good for you for giving him the bigger suite !

[CP-nudn]

You are one of the rare youtubers to travel with his dad while most do with only their wife or gf, it's really great 👍

[bevdangel]

As a south African, I love all your shows, but this one is a favorite ❤thanks for sharing your journey with us 😊 absolutely on my bucket list 🎉

[mojo]

Love seeing your videos with your mum, dad and of course Milly. Love the care and respect that is shown in your interactions with them. Also love that you share these experiences with them. Cheers again from Australia.

A mind without passion is like a bird without wings🙌

Amazing mate! South Africans can access the Blue Train for a reduced price when compared to international tourists, however, the price is still quite punchy thus making this a firm bucket list item for most South Africans. I was planning to book for the month of October & this video has utterly convinced me!
