I was lucky enough to experience a once in a lifetime trip on the Victoria Falls Steam Train a couple of weeks ago. The sunset over the magestic falls, sipping classy champagne with the steam from the train in the background is a very special and unique moment! An unforgettable experience - not to be missed by anyone heading to... More

I have always been a sucker for a great sunset, but this was something spectacular. Being on this steam train was something truely special. Just listening to it as we cruised down the tracks with the neatly dressed staff was awesome. Spotting wild animals in the bushes, being served drinks all while sitting comforably on a couch. The train stops... More

This experience was one of the best, to go back in time and feel the tracks and the strength of steam harnessed by a bygone era. More

Brilliant dining experience on a slow-moving steam-train. The train has been beautifully restored and makes for a wonderful evening experience while in Livingstone. More

We did! along with several others but not to worry if you cannot - perhaps there should be a dressing up box on offer - as it makes it so even more of an occasion - with the quality of the food and the quantity of the drink - a step back in time. All trains should be like this... More

Whilst the ticket for the Royal Livingstone Rxpress may seem expensive for us it was conpletly worth it. The train takes you through the national park as well as through some local villages where we met some young children. The food was great and most alcoholic drinks were included so it seemed good value for money. Very romantic and amazing... More

The train departs both from the Victoria Falls Train station and the Victoria Falls Hotel. The train does not operate every day, so check local schedules or book through the website, a local guide, or your hotel concierge.... More
