The Serengeti Express, formerly known as the Trans Veldt Railway, is a 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge heritage railroad and amusement park attraction located within the Busch Gardens Tampa Bay amusement park in Tampa, Florida.

[1][2] Opened on July 3, 1971,[2] the railway is about 2.2 miles (3.5 km) long, and has stations in the Nairobi, Congo, and Stanleyville sections of the park.

It uses three trains pulled by one of four 4-4-0 type steam locomotives manufactured by Crown Metal Products.

During the journey, the train will travel through the Serengeti Plain, where guests can see hundreds of African animals.

The other two locomotives, which were acquired from previous owners, have a more American appearance, but with slight modifications to match the African theming.
