Royal Livingstone Express Dinner Excursion

Royal Livingstone Express Dinner Excursion

The Royal Livingstone Express offers a magical and romantic dinner. It runs along 15 km of the historic Mulobezi railway line through the heart of the Zambezi River Valley. Pullman style coaches have been lovingly restored to their former glory.

You are collected in the late afternoon from the Royal Livingstone for a 15 minute road transfer to the railway. There’s time for photo opportunities and safety talk from the train manager whilst a welcoming drink is served. The train sets off up the Mulobezi Line which runs parallel to the Zambezi River. Views of the sunset are enjoyed while travelling through the Mosi-Oa-Tunya Game Park in Zambia. A four course dinner with accompanying wines will be served afterwards at 7pm when the train stops for water at the 15 km mark. The loco will then back the train up to the turnaround point, uncouple and move to the front of the train. The train then starts its return journey as dinner continues. You are transferred back to your hotel at approximately 9.30pm.

Practicalities:

This dinner train only runs on Wednesdays and Saturdays. They are adding a departure on Monday as well.

There is a second train, the Bushtracks Express, which runs on Tuesdays and Fridays, from the Zimbabwean side. So, this means that you have a dinner train on offer five days of the week.

The excursion includes return transfers from your hotel to the station, a four course dinner and a selection of drinks. Wines, beers and soft drink are included in the price and there is a cash bar available for spirits.

Note: This is on the Zambian side of the Falls. But it is pretty easy to join the excursion from the Zimbabwean side if you have a Uni-visa.
