The Zimbabwe train will run every Tuesday and Friday for pre dinner drinks & canapés to the Victoria Falls Bridge and back. This is in addition to our existing train operation, the well-known Royal Livingstone Express that operates from in Zambia, Livingstone and was recently voted as one of the top "Five most fabulous Train Journeys" in the world on Yahoo Travel.
The train offers discerning guests the ultimate pre-dinner experience going back in time to the age of Steam train travel twice a week with a minimum of two guests. For groups up to 80 guests, the Bushtracks Express has the flexibility to design your own route to The Victoria Falls Bridge or Jafuta Siding or even further afield to Dibangombie Siding.
