The Royal Livingstone Express is the ultimate fine
dining experience, taking guests back in time to the
age of the great steam engine. Bushtracks Africa
and Sun International have teamed up to offer an
incredible dining experience aboard the historic Mu-
lobezi Railway line, one of the former largest private
railway networks in the world - an experience not to
be missed for the connoisseur of fine food and his-
torical experiences.
THE VICTORIA FALLS
Described by the Kololo tribe living in the area in the 1800’s
as “Mosi-oa-Tunya” - the Smoke that Thunders - and
in more modern times as “the greatest known curtain of
falling water”, the Victoria Falls are a spectacular sight of
awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur on the Zambezi River,
bordering Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Formation
The basalt rock, through which the Zambezi River
runs for 209 km in the Livingstone area, is charac-
terized by its striking cracks, which developed as
molten lava cooled after the shifting of the earth’s
surface. One dominant series of cracks running in
an east-west direction is associated with areas of
soft material within the basalt. Since the Zambezi
flows due south in the Livingstone area, these softer
materials had been very easily eroded to form the
great east-west gorges. Upstream, the retreat of
the Falls is due to a second major series of cracks
