How to get in Bulawayo
A train runs about once every day from Victoria Falls to Bulawayo. The trip takes about 18 h with expected delays and costs US$12 for first class and US$8 for second class--first class generally has 4 bunks per compartment, second class generally has 6, although there are special "half compartments" with 2 and 3 bunks respectively. First class comes with bedding provided but not second class.
One should be aware that this train is usually without electricity, so a torch is a must as after 18.00 it becomes quite dark inside of the train.
Minibus taxis run from the township outside Victoria Falls to Bulawayo in the very early morning and takes approximately 7 hours.
The two most commonly recommended bus companies running daily services from Johannesburg to Bulawayo are Greyhound and Pathfinder. The journey costs $40-50 on high quality luxury coaches. There are many other bus companies on the route. Heading back bus company touts in Bulawayo will be sure to catch you if you walk near the Greyhound or Pathfinder offices.
