You step onto warm wooden carriages as the locomotive huffs awake, sunlight gilding the Zambezi and the Victoria Falls Bridge. The train sets off through low mopane and riverine forest, steam smoking behind it while the river’s spray dares you with a distant silver roar. Onboard, a formal menu and polished brass fold into the landscape outside — a moving dining room headed for one of the planet’s most dramatic viewpoints.
