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.... But good news is now We are building SGR (STANDARD GAUGE RAILWAY ) WHICH the first phase is almost in completion..( will be from Dar to Morogoro) Second phase will be from Morogoro to Dodoma So far state of the art railway station in Dar is almost 90% done ...I think you have saw it So we are looking forward 1 year from now ...Our railway system will be as good as never before... Currently the railway we use are the meter gauge railway which are small and the railway lines are super old some build by the colonialist .. So you can see ..... A lot of work is needed railway system... Luckily the government is closely working on it .... Nice video.. Hakuna matata Thanks for sharing your experience. Upendo Na Amani kwa watu wote.
Nimecheka atarii🤣alivosema tumeambiwa linaondoka saa 2 mara saa 6 mara saa 8 alafu wakatoka saa 9,nimekumbuka was 2007 stesheni mda wa treni kuja ulikua haujulikani
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
Somewhat reminded me of the Via rail rail liner "day liner" service between the cities of Edmonton and Calgary, we were rocking and rolling on 1950s Budd RDC cars going 70 mph on jointed rail LoL 😆
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!
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 .
I do love Tanzania but have never taken a train there, though I was really tempted on my last visit. I really enjoyed your video in particular because : 1. I now know NEVER to take a train in Tanzania. 2. Sitting alone on a dull and wet evening in England, I laughed out loud watching your reactions to the rough train journey and it cheared me up no end ! Keep up the good work and really enjoying the Pakistan videos. 👍
Yes, Ben! Been following you now since you did the length of Britain with Bald. Now Vietnam’s done, it’s time to go back in time with you… and your videos do not disappoint. Love ‘em
January 2017, I took that train both way from Dar es Salaam to Kilgoma and back. over 40 hours each way. It was an incredible experience and that you can find the joys in the trip says much more about you. Learn to chill
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😂
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!
Second class actually looks pretty good.I hope you don't mind but I was laughing pretty much the whole video. Kind of reminds me of when I was in the Philippines on an air conditioned bus, but the air conditioning didn't work and the windows didn't open
Greetings from Nairobi, Kenya. This has been the most hilarious 😂 train journey vlog yet! The bumpy ride is part of the exclusive "African Massage"... Keep safe though
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.
Found your channel through Bald and Bankrupt. I thought his train ride through Mauratania was insane, but that didn't have anything on this! I loved the video! Will definitely be subscribing!
😂😂😂 Looks like you had fun! When you in Africa don’t don’t overthink anything, just dive in and enjoy the experience. There’s beauty in difference and contrast.
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 👍
I had a bus tour experience from Dar es Salaam to Mwanza back in 2014. It took 18 hrs starting from 4am until 11:50pm. I only took some biscuit and water during that trip and worst thing is the hotel doesn't have any food since it was late. When i decided to get back to Dar i was lucky to find out there's flight operated by fastjet from Mwanza to Dar and it was not expensive (300k tanzanian shilling, which was 150usd at that moment). Anyway the trip worth a lot, Lake Vi was quite beautiful, i even travelled on that Vessel from Mwanza to Bukoba. The views of the Lake was unique and amazing.
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!
Haha after seeing you in the new bald and bankrupt video, I figured I'd come check you out! What an amazing video man, this was too funny and entertaining to watch. Looking forward to checking out more of your vids!
During these long trips, the trick is to eat meat not wali/rice, meet takes 48-72 hours, your trip is max 30 hours anywhere by any means and any route, that way you dont need the toilets.
Your trip reminds me of the train trip I took from Yagoon to Mandalay in Myanmar. What a night mare I had the compartment to myself but hardly slept the whole night. I had to lay down all the way because the bouncing of the carriage was so bad it started to hurt my back. The train stop in the middle of the night so the engineer could walk the tracks in front to the train to ensure it was safe for the train to travel over the next section of tracks. It was a blessing when the trip was finished in 14 hours and I arrived safely.
I have been on that train in the 50s. Built by the Germans, it follows the old slave route. Big Garrette engines with 2 tenders......This is the Central line - my Father, CFO of Tanganyika, built a line joining the Central and Northern line using recycled rails AND built a road alongside to get 2 bangs fror1 buck. Still running!
No.74. But smarter than you! Chem degree in 2 years; also RAF pilot's licence, Instrument rating, formation etc. Built C-IAVW, look it up, prole.@@herroxy801
I was watching the German edition of 'Who wants to be a Millionaire' when one of the candidates said she'll spend her winnings on the 'Blue Train'. So I looked it up on UA-cam, next video recommended to me was this. Now I'm hooked on this horrible train and left you a sub :)
Man your living your life and exploring and that's good because then you always have stories to tell ! and I'm still laughing 😂 while peeling onions at the Same time...
He was mainly focusing on the negatives. I experienced the journey. Its no so bad. They serve fresh food and drinks in that train. People party from Kigoma to Dar Es Salaam non stop. Tanzanians are beautiful souls with very good vibes.
The government is building a better SGR electric train route from Dar es Salaam to Dodoma. It will be complete by next year. phase 1 of the project - Dar es Salaam to Morogoro will be complete and begin operations in June this year if I'm not mistaken.
Never rode a train in Tanzania (actually Tanganyika during my stay there), but did the Kisumu-Kijabe overnighter both ways several times - the trains were in much better condition 60 years ago!
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing travel videos. I discovered your channel through the video you did about my beautiful country Ethiopia 🇪🇹...I now ended up watching most of your videos. This video of yours is by far the funniest 😂 sorry you had to go through that. I now realized ppl who live in America are spoiled including myself. Definitely will be sharing yr video with my fam and friends. Again, thank you
This is so funny. You need to realize that Africans especially in Africa are extremely patient. It reaches a point never to expect anything. We are trained from childhood to be patient. No rush in Africa is what we say.
@@sanjoe7265they were used to be before 2014 kiddo ! Now, If you are making this comment randomly, then I'm sure you even don't know a bit about present time Indian Railways. At present, even the lowest Faired Passenger trains in India are installed with Bio-vacuum toilets and better amenities...
After laughing hysterically as the saw the train detracted and leaving away will he was in it. See and hearing his reaction of the bathroom being a actual hole in the ground had me dying XD.
There are two types of trains The one you took and another train which is called "express", both are totally different in price, experince and confortability...i had the privilege of travelling on both... I would advce you try our express as well very clean and you will enjoy its also two days from kigoma to dar, the train you travelled with is old and the price tag tells it all.
This reminds of a vacation my family and I took to Kenya back in 2001, that train ur on mirrors the one we took but we had full catering dinner and breakfast in the restaurant car. It took something like 12 -16 hrs from Nairobi to Mombasa, I remember also being so scared of the toilet cos u could see the tracks right underneath 😂 and oh yeah the very last carriage was like a mini jail and that's where the policemen were.
Just been sharing this video and discussing your experience with friends. I took a 'hard seat ' journey from Lanzhou to Urumqi in north west China in 1990 . I thought it was tough going until I saw your train ! You are probably aware that the BBC have a so-called 'Travel show ' . You put them to shame .
I checked really good on those outside shots - the wheels on this train are actually round. I expected to see square wheels, mate! How is it possible for a train to be that bumpy???
@@BackpackerBen okay since you replied, let me just tell you how you're the coolest youtuber ever. we love you and we want more vids. also, come to Mumbai soon?
@@BackpackerBenthere are three passengers train in that railway the kind of train you preffered is not good at all another day you try to travel with deluxe train or business train it is good at least 😊😊 but I hope you will come in Kigoma region on 2026 when the SGR will be complete with the minimum travel of 8 hours from dar es salaam to kigoma welcome again ❤❤
Nothing I like more than watching people subjecting themselves to extreme discomfort! That train, OML! 🤣👍✌ P.S. New sub from Drew's channel, and the comment you made.
OMG that train journey looks awful. I'm surprised it didn't come off the tracks with all the bumping and juddering. And you wouldn't of even thought it was during covid times watching the video. Not long discovered you through Bald and Bankrupt. Loads of videos to binge watch to catch up hehe :-) love what you do
Hey what did you think of bald and bankrupt? He is getting millions of views but I just couldnt get into him after binge watching indigo traveller and Kurt caz. I am enjoying Backpacker Ben though
bravo Ben ,,, your the man ! Used to think Michael Palin sometimes toughed it out, but this is " beyond the call" when you get back, Spoonies ( the cheap pub ) will seem like The Savoy !!!!
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 Well that's an eye opener! 😮 I'm considered "poor" in Canada but I've never seen such conditions in my life! 😮👉 I guess I don't have nearly as much to complain about as I had thought 🤷♂️ "Poverty" in Canada looks nothing like what these folks have to put up with 😮 In Canada, that train would be hauled to the scrap yard! 😮 And the owner / operators would be arrested for numerous safety and hygiene violations! 🚨 The other day I was kind of grumbling about the porcelain enamel being chipped away on a few spots inside my toilet bowl 😠👉🚽 But damn! At least my "toilet" isn't literally a hole in the floor! 😮 And at least I don't have to share it with hundreds of other people! 😮 I've just lost my "right" to complain about almost everything! 🤷♂️ Other than my health issues, most of my problems are "first world problems" 🙄
Found this after you mentioned it in your Iraq theme park vid. Wow mate your are hardcore. Got a day off today so going to binge all your videos. Nice one.
Many people in the USA, Europe, Canada and other developed countries take so much for granted. God bless Africa. We are a beautiful country with lots of resources and potentials, but our attitude needs to change so that we can improve our standards of living. It starts with me, with you and each person doing what is right for our development. Definitely, good leadership, good governance is so crucial. Some countries are going in the right direction. Majority are still far behind.
After seeing the conditions on this train, I have decided not to complain.... about ANYTHING....EVER!
😂😂😂
Hahahaha your welcome Tanzania
Their new train is amazing.....
You're too condescending!
haha I lost it when he entered the room and started saying Jesus. haha

That was some journey 😂😂😂😂
Those old school trains are casted out, now we have standard gauge trains which are electric powed...😊😊
OMG..😱 Ben so Intersting your Journey 😍👌non stop laughing and so funny 😁😀😂 take care stay safe 👍 God bless you 🙏
Thanks 🙏🏼 😅🤣
I checked really good on those outside shots - the wheels on this train are actually round. I expected to see square wheels, mate! How is it possible for a train to be that bumpy???
I think you should wait for the standard gauge railway
Hahahaha
I had to watch this twice, was laughing so hard I was crying so couldn’t see anything 😂😂😂 excellent video!!
Watching some ads for ya take care!
Legend! Thanks mate

You should come back and try the new Railway.... it isn't complete, but the Dar - Dodoma journey now takes 3hrs and 45mins

It’s okay to laugh 😆

A trusty portable urinal, disposable sheets and a box of granola bars always a gem when traveling in Africa.
A lot of buses and planes available there
But you choose the cheapest way and you got what you wanted Lol 😂😂😂
Plane was like $270 lol
Bus would of taken 13 years
🤣
@@BackpackerBen 😂😂😂
@@BackpackerBen welcome to Dar es salaam ..i expect more vids when you arrive in Dar .. Tanzanians we love you 😍😍
@@moviesclips5759 thank you :D
@@BackpackerBen with bus from dodoma is just 6 to 7 hrs
OMG that train journey looks awful. I'm surprised it didn't come off the tracks with all the bumping and juddering. And you wouldn't of even thought it was during covid times watching the video. Not long discovered you through Bald and Bankrupt. Loads of videos to binge watch to catch up hehe :-) love what you do
Hey what did you think of bald and bankrupt? He is getting millions of views but I just couldnt get into him after binge watching indigo traveller and Kurt caz. I am enjoying Backpacker Ben though
SGR electic train will start soon don’t worry. Maghufulication coming up to save you 👍🇹🇿
So I hear 🥲
I've never laughed so hard at any video. Love your comment.
Wow, much respect! I thought Bald traveled rough. This is insane.
U sound frustrated in respectful way though !
This is Afrika! What did u expect first class for 16$ could look like?? 😊
Thnx 4 sharing anyway!
Very true 🥲
bravo Ben ,,, your the man ! Used to think Michael Palin sometimes toughed it out, but this is " beyond the call" when you get back, Spoonies ( the cheap pub ) will seem like The Savoy !!!!
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
Well that's an eye opener! 😮 I'm considered "poor" in Canada but I've never seen such conditions in my life! 😮👉
I guess I don't have nearly as much to complain about as I had thought 🤷♂️ "Poverty" in Canada looks nothing like what these folks have to put up with 😮
In Canada, that train would be hauled to the scrap yard! 😮 And the owner / operators would be arrested for numerous safety and hygiene violations! 🚨
The other day I was kind of grumbling about the porcelain enamel being chipped away on a few spots inside my toilet bowl 😠👉🚽 But damn! At least my "toilet" isn't literally a hole in the floor! 😮 And at least I don't have to share it with hundreds of other people! 😮
I've just lost my "right" to complain about almost everything! 🤷♂️ Other than my health issues, most of my problems are "first world problems" 🙄
At least the train left. Here in Germany the DeutscheBahn does not. Gets cancelled very frequently.
I laughed so hard when you realised its only 15 min and you still have 26 hrs and 45 min to go😂
I died a little inside
😅 I felt that, that's a journey to remember.... It's a shame though how our trains are, hopefully we get started ASAP with the SGR
Found this after you mentioned it in your Iraq theme park vid. Wow mate your are hardcore. Got a day off today so going to binge all your videos. Nice one.
Thanks Lauri 😎🤝 this is a tough video to watch 😂
Daaa yani anatuvua nguo na mi treni yetu ya kigoma ila yatakwisha tu
THAT was an amazing video! Now I'm a subscriber!
Thanks 🙏🏼
Many people in the USA, Europe, Canada and other developed countries take so much for granted. God bless Africa. We are a beautiful country with lots of resources and potentials, but our attitude needs to change so that we can improve our standards of living. It starts with me, with you and each person doing what is right for our development. Definitely, good leadership, good governance is so crucial. Some countries are going in the right direction. Majority are still far behind.
