Victoria Falls: The world's most beautiful tram ride - Bamba Tram

Victoria Falls - The world's most beautiful TRAM RIDE

Take the incredible journey

An authentically styled 19th century tram service - Now known as the Bamba Tram

The Bamba Tram offers a family-friendly 1.5 hour return tram experience through Zambezi National Park, onto the historic Victoria Falls suspension bridge. From there, you can watch the spray rising from the majestic Victoria Falls, while the Zambezi River rushes through the Batoka gorge below.

Spectacular Sunrise Runs are available on request and confirmed with a minimum of 6 people. They depart at 6.15 am from the Victoria Falls Train Station (season dependent so confirm timing upon making the booking).

Since the stop of the previous tram trips, the operators of the hop-on hop-off Bamba Bus took over the running, and in April 2022, they introduced the Bamba Tram. Apart from the traditional bridge runs, they have created a few more options for you to choose from.

The experiences are at really good prices, and include a morning bridge run, sunrise bridge run (only on request), a sunset safari trip, and a dinner trip which confirms with at least 8 people. All trips begin at Three Monkeys, near the Victoria Falls Railway Station. Guests are required to be at the tram at least 10 minutes before departure, to allow for enough time for check-in.

Morning Bridge Run

This regular first trip of the day takes off at 8:30am from where the tram is stationed. The tram meanders through the national park near the Falls, making a wide sweep through the African bush, and there is a chance to see some of the wildlife that roams through there. You may spot elephant, buffalo, waterbuck or bushbuck.

Or, you can take the tracks less travelled into untouched African wilderness. Meander along the Masuwe River adjacent to Zambezi National Park and the wildlife rich Chamabonda hinterlands. Spot wildlife along the way as you soak up the beautiful scenery, before stopping for refreshments at our Jafuta siding.

You can also enjoy both a safari tram ride and an exceptional dining experience under starry African skies if you book our "Dinner with the Stars" run. Take a 40 minute safari tram ride into the wilderness, and enjoy a sumptuous 3 course meal served al fresco at the romantic lantern lit railway siding in the bush. Departure times seasonally dependent & will be confirmed at time of booking.

​All tram rides include all rail, bridge and conservation fees and taxes, and depart from Victoria Falls Train Station. Guests should arrive ten minutes prior to departure. No passport, visa or COVID requirements apply. Please enquire for Dinner with the Stars prices.
