ROVOS RAIL 2025 : PART FOUR : VICTORIA FALLS

Saturday 12th July 

The train pulled into the station at 11am and we were checked into The Victoria Falls Hotel in time for lunch. It felt like we'd just had breakfast!

Later,our sunset cruise on the Zambezi was on a boat big enough to accommodate 60 of us and rather a subdued crowd we all were. I think it's probably because the thought of trying to eat or drink another thing was just too much!

Usually I prefer organizing our own small boat for these trips and yes, it's way better!

Neil didn't even want dinner but I did enjoy the dining at The Livingstone Room. 

Sunday 13th July

After a late breakfast we went down to see the falls. What a magnificent place. There's a lot of water at the moment.

Skipping lunch again, we chose to while away the last few hours in Vic Falls in The Stanley Bar reading the Sunday papers (Neil) and blogging. (Gail)

At 4pm the train pulled onto the Victoria Falls Bridge and we all trooped out to get photos. 

Luckily our train manager and the admin staff were able to handle the border formalities out of Zimbabwe and into Zambia without us all having to present ourselves at the immigration offices.

By sunset, with cocktails in hand on the observation deck,we left Livingstone behind us, heading for Kafue.
