- Taking the train from Dar Es Salaam to Arusha was a dream come true. I love road travel be it on rails or by road in buses. There something about being in transit with total strangers and perhaps leaving that journey with enriched with stories and new acquaintances.
The train ride takes on a regular basis 12 hours and 30 minutes, it departs Dar Es Salaam at 14:30. Its advisable to get a sleeper seat so that after all the excitement you can get some rest when the night falls

Do you need to bring your own blankets or do they supply them with pillows?

Hello! I really liked your video :D It was very helpful! Do you know if cats are allowed on the train ?
Thanks for watching and commenting. I dont think you can take a car on the train but i am not a 100% percentage sure so maybe check their Website.
I will be riding this train Monday June 20 from Dar to Arusha - can you confirm the 14:30 departure from Dar? The schedule on TRC's website says it departs at 8:30 in the "afternoon" (the schedule is fixed in Swahili). Also, when did you reach Arusha? 12 hours' travel time seems fast for 650km (by african railway standards). Again the website says it will arrive at 3:00 in the morning. Regardless, amazing video! You have me so excited and I can't wait to follow in your footsteps!
Enjoy we were supposed to leave 14.30 we left 2 hours later and we arrived the next day so its an overnight train
I know this is really late, but just a heads up for anyone else who comes across this comment - times in Tanzania start at 6. So "8.30 in the afternoon", or what you'll hear as "saa nane na nusu mchana" in Kiswahili is actually eight and a half hours after 6am - ie. 2.30pm.
Ditto for arrival time. "3am" in Tanzania time is three hours after 6am - ie. 9am.
Hy! Do you have a Idea where to book Tickets in advance? Its not working at the TRC Website. Cheers from Vienna!
I actually couldn't book it and pay for it online. I physically went to the station a day before. I have heard from people that they were able to reserve by calling.
Hello, what a beautiful video ! I don't know if you said it, what was the price from Dar to Arusha please ?
thanks for watching please reach out to the trc for actual prices info@trc.co.tz +255 22 325 658 www.trc.co.tz/ i paid 44,400 tsh in jan 2021for one way
As of March 2024 this train was not running. We had planned to take the service on the 11th March to Arusha from Dar Es Salaam, and headed to Kariakoo Gerianze to buy tickets 6 hours before departure. Upon arrival we were told this train had stopped running about 2 months ago due to the condition of the line. They were not able to tell me when the service would restart.
I instead caught a 10pm KediaOne bus located a short taxi ride outside of town which I recommend. However, booking this is impossible without a Tanzanian or Kenyan phone number, so we travelled in person out to Urafiki to get these the morning before departing.
Sorry to hear about your experience thanks for sharing the update
Will there also be an sgr in this route? Is there any plans or proposals by the government?
I reckon you would be better off asking the TRC officials these questions:-)
Hey. Do you know how often the train departs from Dar es Salaam to Arusha? Some places it says everyday other places it says only monday and friday? Best regards
I took the train once so I may not be able to answer your question but I relied on the information on this website www.trc.co.tz/pages/long-distance-train
Hey! Do you know how often the train departs? If you know answer me back please!!!
Everything looks green :) But if you take this train during the dry season, bring a mask cause its dusty.
Oh good point
Czesc the Polish guy, co tam w Tanzanii? Wakacja czy tam pracuje pana? :)
What?
Hi! How can I get a ticket? Can I book in advance? I want to travel around August 7th, will be sold out? Can I also take it from Arusha to Dar?
I would suggest you checked out the official www.trc.co.tz/
@@Liesel81-across-all-borders Hi Liesel! 👋I tried that website but it's not working 😅. Do you think it's necessary to book in advance? Many thanks for your answer, BTW
There was no washroom, you have to relieve yourself in the wild?
Good question dont remember but i believe there are toilets on the train
These are new car with washrooms since colonial time the East African Railways was the best in Africa, still East Africa posses its dignity in Railways industries.
Ipo vizuri. Nasikitika kwamba MC kuku anatupigiza kelele mpaka usiku. Tunaomba apunguze maana ni sasita za usiku na hatujali kabisa. Kwa haajili hii haina maana kusafiri na treni hii kumbuka tumefanya kazi tumechoka tunasafifi usiku tunahitaji utulivu
