The Bushtracks Express in Zimbabwe is the ultimate dinner experience, taking you back to the golden age of rail travel.
This historic dinner train safari journeys onto the iconic Victoria Falls Bridge, built in 1905 at the request of Cecil Rhodes, who envisioned a crossing “at the point where the spray from the falls would fall on the train carriages.”
Lovingly restored by Bushtracks Africa and Rovos Rail, the vintage carriages blend timeless elegance with contemporary fine dining. Every detail evokes the romance of a bygone era, offering a unique and unforgettable evening along one of Africa’s most scenic routes.
