Fodor's Expert Review Royal Livingstone Express

Walking the stretch of red carpet alongside Locomotive 156 while it blows steam and rumbles in preparation for its journey is an ultimately exciting and romantic Vic Falls experience with a beautifully presented and meticulously prepared gourmet dinner. Dinner guests are seated in either the Wembley or Chesterfield dining carriage (both exquisitely restored). Depending on the day, the historic steam train either pulls you through a bustling shanty town, over the Sinde River Bridge, and then back through Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, or stops to watch the sunset on the magnificent Victoria Falls Bridge. And yes, the train gives right-of-way to giraffes, elephants, and any other plains game who might decide to cross the tracks during dinner!
