What the Bamba Tram is

A slow ride onto a famous bridge

The Bamba Tram is a short tram run from the Victoria Falls side out onto the Victoria Falls Bridge, the steel arch that has linked Zimbabwe and Zambia across the Batoka Gorge since 1905. The carriages are open-sided, so the views are clear in both directions.

It is not an adrenaline activity. It is the opposite: an early, unhurried way to stand on the bridge with the gorge falling away beneath you, and one of the few Falls activities that suits every age.

The sunrise run, step by step

Boarding to the return

You board at the station at the Victoria Falls end. Departure is early, which means cool air and the best light of the day.

The tram runs slowly out onto the bridge and stops on the span. The Batoka Gorge drops away on both sides, and the spray of the Falls upstream is usually catching the sunrise. There is time on the bridge to photograph the gorge, the river below and the bungee platform at the centre, while your guide talks through how the bridge was built and its place on the Cape to Cairo route. Then the tram runs back to the station.

Who it suits

Families, photographers and first mornings

Because it is gentle and short, the tram works for children, grandparents and anyone who wants the bridge without jumping off it. Photographers like it for the low morning light on the gorge. It also pairs well with a Falls tour later the same morning, rather than filling a whole day.

Price and what to bring

Included, extra and what to wear

The Bamba Tram sunrise run starts from $100 per person and includes the tram ride, refreshments and transfers. Gratuities are extra. Bring warm clothing: early mornings at the Falls can be cold, especially in the open carriages.

If you want more from the bridge

Other ways to experience it

The bungee platform you see from the tram is at the centre of the bridge, 111 metres above the Zambezi. If the ride leaves you wanting more, the bungee jump is the same view at a very different speed.
