Steam Train Safari  

Starting at Livingstone’s Railway Museum or at the Sun International station. From there you cross the border onto the bridge and stop to admire this Seventh Wonder of the World before returning back to Zambia. Refreshments are served during the trip.

The Victoria Falls Bridge was the brainchild of the British imperialist Cecil Rhodes. It was part of his hope of a railway linking Cairo to the Cape. The bridge was built to span the Batoka Gorge and in the early 1900s he hoped that the bridge would be built close enough to the Victoria Falls for the train’s passengers to feel the Falls' spray. With The Victoria Falls Steam Railway you too will be part of this dream as you embark on an unforgettable ride on our historic steam engine to this illustrious bridge. The steam engine, which was first in service in 1912, is the ultimate colonial experience. At the turn of the century, Cecil John Rhodes' dream was to complete the Cape to Cairo railway line. The railway line reached Victoria Falls in 1904 and crossed the Zambezi the following year. The bridge was completed in 14 months and is located where the spray from the Falls can be seen.

  View the Victoria Falls from a steam train and step back in time to this romantic era on an excursion from Livingstone Station. The Bridge Run takes clients across the bridge where it stop for an opportunity to film the majestic Falls. Sunset is a spectacular time to enjoy the Safari Express.

  Alternatively the steam train can take clients from Livingstone to Jafuta Siding just outside Victoria Falls for your parting excursion before being transferred to Victoria Falls for your outbound flight.
