Royal Livingstone Express — Steam Train Dinner
About the Adventure
A five-course fine-dining journey aboard beautifully restored Pullman coaches, hauled by a vintage steam locomotive from Livingstone out toward the Victoria Falls Bridge and through Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. As the train rolls slowly through the bush at golden hour, you may spot game from the open observation platform before settling in for dinner as the sun sets — a romantic, nostalgic evening that's a highlight for many couples.
