Bulawayo Railway Museum, Bulawayo Province, Zimbabwe

4.5 (151 reviews) Spent Ranking #2 in Bulawayo Speciality Museums

They must see train museum

What a treat. This place was much more than I hoped for. It had many trains from the beginning of rail history of Zimbabwe. The highlight of the museum is Mr Rhodes personal train car from the late 1800s. If you're in town this is a must see. It is run without any help from the government so if you can afford to make a donation to help with the upkeep.

    Exceptional +++
    Amazing and Wonderful morning spent with a passionate human being called Mr Gordon Murray. He knows so much about the history of the train in Zimbabwe ?? that it was for us like a long trip throughout space and time. We want to thank him so much for his patience and dedication. Without him the visit wouldn’t have been the same... We advise anyone who’s intended to go to Bulawayo to go and visit that museum and ask for Mr Gordon Murray.....

    Amazing History and Beautiful Trains.
    This is a wonderful museum for any interested in trains, but it is much more than that. This museum really drives home how important trains were to the creation of the modern state. As you tour the museum, you get a really good picture of the last 150 years of history, from a British colony to modern Zimbabwe. I highly recommend this place.
