Victoria Falls Tram

An authentically styled 19th century tram service - Now known as the Bamba Tram

The Bamba Tram on the Victoria Falls Bridge

Since the stop of the previous tram trips, the operators of the hop-on hop-off Bamba Bus took over the running, and in April 2022, they introduced the Bamba Tram.

The experiences are at decent prices, and include a mid-morning bridge run or sunrise bridge run. All trips include a transfer to and from the tram, which is stationed at Three Monkeys, near the Victoria Falls Railway Station. Guests are required to be at the tram at least 15 minutes before departure, to allow for enough time for check-in.

Sunrise Bridge Run

This first trip of the day takes off at 6:00am from where the tram is stationed. The tram meanders through the national park near the Falls, making a wide sweep through the African bush, and there is a chance to see some of the wildlife that roams through there. You may spot elephant, buffalo, waterbuck or bushbuck, while the guide narrates the area's fascinating history.

The tram continues towards the border, and goes on past the border post and on to the Victoria Falls Bridge. The bridge, spans the Batoka Gorge in between Zimbabwe and Zambia. You may disembark the tram and take in the impressive scenery of the Victoria Falls, the gorge and the Zambezi River down below. Watch the adrenalin junkies take a leap off the bridge into the gorge via bridge swing or bungee, or zip across the gorge on the bridge slide.

Guests arrive at the Victoria Falls Bridge

From the bridge, there is easy access to the rail and bridge museum, and the trip includes and informative talk on the area's history, the railway & the bridge. Light refreshments are served on the bridge itself. After the experience, the tram will take you back to Three Monkeys. The total time for this trip is 1.5 hours.

Mid-Morning Bridge Run

These trips offer the same scenic adventure to the Victoria Falls Bridge, but the tram takes off at 8:30am. It includes light snacks and drinks.

Alternatives to the Victoria Falls Tram

Alternatives to the tram trips are the Bushtracks Express (Zimbabwe) and the Royal Livingstone Express dinner experience (Zambia). These offer trips to the Victoria Falls Bridge, a ride into the wilderness, and a splendid meal with drinks aboard the train.
