First up, we have a thrilling train ride that runs once every day. Brace yourself for a 14-hour journey filled with breathtaking scenery and unexpected delays. The cost is just US$12 for first class and US$8 for second class. In first class, you'll have the luxury of a cozy compartment with 4 bunks, complete with bedding provided. Second class offers a more sociable arrangement with 6 bunks. But wait, there's more! For those seeking a little more privacy, we have special "half compartments" with 2 or 3 bunks. Just make sure to bring your own torch because, after 18:00, darkness envelops the train, adding an element of mystery and excitement to your voyage. If you're feeling adventurous and prefer a faster option, hop on a minibus taxi from the township outside Victoria Falls. These early morning rides will get your adrenaline pumping as you zip through the landscapes, reaching Bulawayo in approximately 7 hours. For those coming from Johannesburg, we highly recommend the Intercape and Greyhound bus companies. These top-quality luxury coaches offer a comfortable journey, and prices range from $40 to $50. Don't worry if these options don't suit your schedule; there are plenty of other bus companies providing services along this route. Bookings can easily be made online for a seamless travel experience. But wait, there's even more! If you happen to be in Gaborone, there's a daily bus service operated by Seabelo Transport that will take you directly to Bulawayo. Contact their office for more information, as this service is not yet listed on their website. Lastly, Pathfinder offers a daily luxury coach service between Harare and Bulawayo, as well as a 3-times a week service from Victoria Falls. Once you arrive in Bulawayo, be sure to visit JOSHUA M NKOMO INTL APT, the city's International Airport that connects you to the world. Get ready for the trip of a lifetime!
