VICTORIA FALLS ZAMBIA
This two-night adventure begins as the train departs Rovos Rail’s gracious station at Capital Park in Pretoria.
This special journey departs in the morning and slowly meanders north towards Bela Bela, crossing the Tropic of Capricorn just
after the station of Soekmekaar. Once over the Soutpansberg mountains, north of Makhado we enter Baobab country.
Few sights are more evocative of primeval Africa than the eerie silhouette of a Baobab tree starkly outlines against a ruddy
African sunset. South African border formalities will take place at Musina and then, very slowly over Beit Bridge, the train will ease
itself into Zimbabwe. Continue in a north-westerly direction passing through Thompson’s Junction and Hwange Game Reserve
where we enjoy an early morning game drive. Journeys end is the incomparable Victoria Falls on the mighty Zambezi River.
