Bushtracks Express — Steam Train Dinner

About the Adventure

A step back in time aboard a fully restored 1952 steam locomotive, departing Victoria Falls Station for a slow, elegant run out to the Victoria Falls Bridge and into the bush before returning for dinner. Red-carpet boarding, polished period coaches and an open observation deck set the tone; as the train eases onto the bridge you get spray-misted views of the gorge and Falls at golden hour. Dinner is a five-course affair served as the African dusk settles — a romantic, special-occasion outing and the Zimbabwe-side counterpart to Zambia's Royal Livingstone Express.
