Day 3: Departing Victoria Falls
A late afternoon transfer to Victoria Falls Station marks the beginning of the return journey as Rovos Rail departs southward toward Hwange as evening falls. Settle back into your beautifully appointed suite, find a seat in the lounge or observation car, and let the Zimbabwean bush reassert its quiet magic as the train pulls away from one of the world's great natural wonders. A formal dinner is served in the elegantly appointed dining cars as the carriages head into the darkness, the fires of the bush occasionally flickering beyond the windows and the stars over Zimbabwe blazing in a sky quite free of light pollution.
