As if there wasn’t already a dirge of activities to choose from when visiting the Victoria Falls, now there is an entirely different way of viewing their glory. What better way to view the magnificent falls than standing on the historic Victoria Falls bridge, which spans the gap between Zambia and Zimbabwe? And what better way to be transported to the bridge than in an authentic steam train from Victoria Falls station?
Relive the forgotten era of the steam train, hark back to a time of g and t’s, white pith helmets and Africa the dark untamed continent. And in this time gaze on the splendour that is ‘The Smoke that Thunders’. Your journey back in time begins when you are picked up from your hotel in Victoria Falls Town and transferred to the Victoria Falls Station. There you will be met on a red carpet with a refreshing cool-drink before the old fashioned and authentic steam train journeys to the impressive Victoria Falls Bridge, a historical landmark that was completed in 1905. There is simply no better way to see Victoria Falls than from the exquisitely restored carriages of a classical early 1900 Safari Steam Train.
On the journey, rest in the splendour, luxury and comfort of the lounge or dining car. A selection of light snacks, a chilled glass of champagne, cocktails and of course the equally historic gin and tonic will be served by ever-attentive and fully liveried waiters on route. Once on the bridge feel free to disembark the train to wander along on this beautiful bridge, whilst viewing the majestic Victoria Falls with its breathtaking, picturesque gorge and the turbulent Zambezi River 110 meters below. This is a sunset adventure with a difference.
Another G & T? Yes Please!
And if this trip sounds too civilized for your tastes. There is always the chance to Bungi Jump of this bridge or to fly in a helicopter or microlight over the falls. Check out our Victoria Falls day tours for more information on whats on offer.
