VICTORIA FALLS

Experience a 1600-kilometre journey through varied and truly African scenery as Rovos Rail's luxurious train meanders westwards through Mafikeng into Botswana and then north towards Mahalapye, crossing the Tropic of Capricorn just after Gaborone.

Once the train has passed through the dry reaches of Botswana we arrive at Plumtree in the late afternoon for border formalities with Zimbabwe. We continue in a north-westerly direction passing Bulawayo heading towards Thompson's Junction and Hwange Game Reserve where animals can be spotted from the train. During the afternoon we have a service stop at Thompson Junction after which your sojourn ends at the incomparable Victoria Falls on the mighty Zambezi River. The surrounding area offers travellers many recreational opportunities including cruises, white water rafting on the Zambezi River as well as superb game viewing and photo safaris. Please note that depending upon railways capacity this journey could be routed northwards through Beitbridge and Zimbabwe.
