Hi, I am planning on taking a trip to South Africa next month along with my whole family which includes my husband and my three adorable children. I would like to inform myself a bit more about the means of transportation that would be safe, fun to ride and overall cheep. We as a whole family are not ready for too big adventures but more like a relaxing vacation.

Hello, from my experience in South Africa I can suggest you try the African Blue Train which is a high class type of train that will astound you and your whole family. It is a very safe and reliable means of transportation that will take you to some of the nicest places in Africa. One of the most famous destinations are the Victoria falls. It's wild beauty cannot be compared with others. The train itself is almost never overcrowded. The train regulations are pretty strict so youll never see people trying to ride on it without a ticket, which is commonly seen on other trains.
However it is not just the final destinations that matter but also the trip itself. Looking through the Blue Train's windows you will be able to see the amazingly gorgeous landscapes passing by. So my advice to you would be not to forget your camera, because if you do, you will miss all the fun.

We took the train from Cape Town to Pretoria. The bedrooms, lounge cars and dining car were fabulous - comfortable, beautifully furnished and lots of attention to detail. The food - the same navy 'cook' others complain about - was quite fantastic, perfectly sized portions superbly prepared and presented.
