Victoria Falls Tram
Victoria Falls Tram Company is pleased to announce the addition of a vintage-styled Diesel Tram to our luxury travel offering. Currently under construction in Johannesburg, South Africa, the Tram will offer an affordable travel alternative with all the 5-star elegance our passengers have come to expect.
Enjoy a leisurely journey around Victoria Falls and its beautiful surrounds, with daily schedules including stops at Victoria Falls Bridge, rain forest transfers to various game reserves, bomas, elephant tours, lion walks and many exhilarating activities on the rail line south to Jafuta and Sekuti.
Or perhaps travel a little further afield to Zambia, with runs from Palm Grove Siding (opposite the Royal Livingstone) and Livingstone Station, with plenty of exciting things to see and do on either side of the border.
Modelled after the open-sided Brill Trams of circa 1890, our engineers have painstakingly retained the classic design, exceptional quality and traditional feel of a late 19th century Tram. An inboard bar and refreshment service will also ensure that our guests' needs are always catered to.
The Tram will seat approximately 28 passengers on 8 comfortable benches, 6 of which have flipped-over, tram-style seatbacks that allow passengers to enjoy the spectacular views in either direction. The Tram will be able to attain a leisurely yet efficient speed of 23km/h, along with the necessary certification for night travel. Roll-down awnings will protect passengers from any inclement weather, while two low-raiser, non-slip fixed steps along either length of the Tram allow for safe and easy alighting and disembarking.
Her first journey in late March 2012 will mark the start of an exciting new venture in affordable, luxury Tram travel.
