What an experience!. Everything you'd expect from an African train. the hustle and bustle of colourful people vying for space to board the train. The change of scenery as we leave the capital (Dar Es Salaam) bwhind and enter forested hills and tiny villages, still made from mud and straw) and ever-present smiling, waving children. Then at every stop, come hawkers selling their wares from the trackside below. Push up on long poles for us to view come baskets of fresh oranges, carvings, the inevitable coca cola bottles and everything else you can imagine.
To cap it all, as the train enters the Selous (Africa's biggest national park - it's about the same size as Wales!) We start to see wildlife from our carriage. First antelope, then giraffe, zebra, elephant....
Amazing stuff.
