By Rail

Plan your Trip - Getting Around

Travelling by rail through Tanzania, in the style of the last century, is a romantic and unforgettable way to experience the country. In the last few years, rail travel through Tanzania has improved both in quality and service. The chance to relax and enjoy the scenery at a leisurely pace and see local villages up-close on the way. If you like to sit back and enjoy the journey, travelling by train through Tanzania can be a fantastic experience.

Currently, trains connect Dar es Salaam to Mbeya and continue on to Zambia. The journey takes days, but is more comfortable and only slightly longer than travelling by road. 1st and 2nd class cabins are quite comfortable and bedding is provided by stewards on the train.

You may want to self-cater at least part of the way, so be sure to stop off at a supermarket before you leave. Don’t leave luggage unattended and close your windows at night.

Customer Testimonials

Mikkel Thorup told us:
Me and my girlfriend had a wonderful 9 day safari seeing everything would had imagined, and much more. The driver was very experienced and good at spotting wildlife. We saw more than most other people we met at the camps. Our trip was a mixed lodge and camp safari. We actually got better food at the camp where our cook made fresh food for us. At the lodges it was buffets.
