  • I was in the region of Kigoma and head to get back to Dar Es Salaam so I had two options...book a very expensive flight or get the train. So of course I took the train however it turned out to be one of the worst journeys of my life. I left Kigoma several hours late due to delays and then arrived in Dodoma 27 hours later

    After seeing the conditions on this train, I have decided not to complain.... about ANYTHING....EVER!

    Sudenly those eastern europe over-airconditioned trains with hours delays which always get me sick started looking pretty good.

    This so hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂 I really laughed. I enjoyed the journey with you. Luckily Tanzania is improving on that sector and building the longest railway network in Africa, visit Kenya too, lots of fun around and we are neighbours to Tz.

    In Tanzania the old trains are super messed up...To be honest most Tanzanians prefer to travel with Bus and Aeroplane....

    I took this train back in 2010. Except either first class was booked up or there wasn't the option. Had alternate between standing and sleeping at the feet of other passengers in an insanely packed carriage. One of the roughest journeys of my life😂

    One thing I can tell you from my 6 months in Tanzania, living in a village outside of Kilsoa, is bongo time is a real thing. As an Englishman myself it took me a while to get used to the fact nothing ever runs on time! That's just life, you get used to it haha. Tanzania is my second home, I love it!

    I have never laughed so hard in my life 😂. I could just visualise you all battered and bruised after your cozy ride in first class. I really enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing

    What an incredible experience, fascinating journey! Sleeping on that train looked like trying to sleep on a bomb site!

    This is your best video I've come across. I felt sorry for you, but was laughing at your situation as well, and felt like I was riding with you. If you've ever read a Paul Theroux book, this felt like one of the type of train journeys he writes about 👍

    Thank you for sharing your experience. I needed this ‘cause I had plans to travel using the train in Tanzania. Your opinions are spot on! In matter of fact, your opinions may just be facts. This video was very informative and humorous! Also it’s seems like you would be be fun to travel with!

    Love these travel videos! It's great to travel vicariously to exotic and forbidden destinations. As far as this one goes...better you than me, mate! It's so unbelievably hellish I can't stop laughing and need to fast forward to the end. "Sloppy Pizza" sounds like a great name for a rock band. Bon appétit!

    Hello Ben, this is one of the best videos I've ever seen on your channel. That must of been hard to endure but thanks for showing us your trip from start to finish. Once again amazing.

    Well done ! From the relative comfort of Hong Kong ( stainless steel seats on commuter trains ) I doff my cap to you and admire your powers of endurance . Must admit , I am now looking forward to your other African adventures . Good health .
