Royal Livingstone Express Dinner

About the Adventure

Step back in time aboard the Royal Livingstone Express, a luxurious five-course fine-dining experience on a vintage steam train. Journey through Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, offering opportunities to spot wildlife like elephants and impala from the open observation platform during golden hour. The beautifully restored Pullman coaches, including the historic Wembley Dining Car built in 1924, are hauled by a 1930s steam locomotive towards the iconic Victoria Falls Bridge for breathtaking sunset views. Indulge in a gourmet dinner prepared by chefs from the Royal Livingstone Hotel, served in air-conditioned dining cars. This romantic and nostalgic evening, lasting approximately 5 to 5.5 hours, is a highlight for many couples and operates on Wednesdays and Saturdays, requiring a smart dress code.
