The Horse Drawn Carriages

Our finely crafted carriages are comfortable and authentic, offering a truly unique way to tour the Falls Resort complex while taking you back in time to a bygone era of elegance and style.

The Victorian Horse Drawn Carriage

Staging Posts:

Our carriages run every half an hour, on the hour. The trip starts from the Royal Livingstone’s Concierge Desk, then on through the Southern section of the hotel en route to chief Mukuni’s Boma, staging post number two. Next stop is the entrance to the Victoria Falls where you will find staging post number three. Once drop offs and collections are complete, the carriage will carry on to the Activity Centre for staging post number four. The last staging post is situated at the Zambezi Sun Reception, where clients can board, en route to the Royal Livingstone and staging post number one.

Each staging post is clearly marked and defined with a lectern, which bares the name and emblem of the Victoria Carriage Company. Clients simply wait for the next carriage to arrive, present their vouchers to the coachman and hop on board.

Our Horses

The Victoria Carriage Company uses only horses that are specifically trained for carriage pulling.

Our Coachmen

Our smartly dressed and experienced coachmen are fully trained. They are knowledgeable in not only horse and carriage riding but also in the surroundings. As such, they are able to act as a source of information and take on the role of a guide for the duration of the trip.

Horse Back Trails

The Victoria Carriage Company offers clients exhilarating horse back rides from the Falls Resort. All riders, novice to experienced, will enjoy our leisurely trails within the confines of a National Park. Your guide will lead on trails offering stunning views of the Victoria Falls as well as the chance of game spotting along the way.
