Day notes

After breakfast there will be a guided tour of the Victoria Falls

The rest of the day is at leisure until late afternoon when you take an enchanting journey from the hotel and travel back in time.

After a red carpet reception at the Victoria Falls Station, you leave on an old-fashioned sunset steam train journey for the impressive Victoria Falls Bridge, an historical landmark created in 1905. The Victoria Falls have been synonymous with tourism and adventure since Livingstone first gazed upon them in Victorian times. What better way to capture such a legendary era than on a fully refurbished train, viewing mystical Africa as it would have been over one hundred years ago.

Powered by a 1954 class 14° steam locomotive pulling painstakingly and beautifully restored Pullman Dining Cars and Coaches, you edge onto the bridge and watch the sun go down in one of the most spectacular settings in the world. It is not only what you see, but how you see it that steals the moment. You relax in the luxury and comfort of a Pullman Lounge Car or wander along this beautiful bridge, whilst viewing the majestic Victoria Falls with its breathtaking, picturesque gorge, and the turbulent Zambezi River 110 metres below.

During the this two and a half hour odyssey, a selection of light snacks and drinks will be served while you experience what one world-famous, quality magazine recently voted the sixth most beautiful sunset encounter in the World.

On disembarking from the train, you will be transferred to a special Boma dinner, which includes game meat, whilst you are entertained by dancers, musicians, a witchdoctor, and have the opportunity to have your hair braided or your face painted! Or you can just continue with the wine!
