Livingstone to Lusaka by Train
I had an epic ride to on Zambia Railways passenger train from Livingstone all the way to Lusaka.
I was in sleeper class, which was lovely. I met a few people along the way and made some friends, ate some nshima, had a shower and just had a fun journey.
Travel with me through Kalomo, Choma, Monze, Pemba, Mazabuka, Kafue and on to Lusaka.

So I'm I right in thinking that journey was about 20 hours! Zambia please, please, please invest in the railways. Everyone would win, would be great for tourism, trade. We complain about the train here in the UK, but that similar length journey here takes about 3 hours. And long distance trains run about every hour. Good vid, just sad if Zambia get overtaken by it's neighbours.

We've come to accept that in Zambia, you don't travel by train to get where you're going quickly, but to enjoy the journey and eventually get home. There's a day I did the same trip, this year, and we got to Lsk at 21hours!! Effectively a 24hour journey!! In Botswana their train is highly efficient and on time - same distance, 4 times as fast. It's sad the state of our railway for passengers.

That room looks more comfortable than others even if it is just lying across the seats. Better than being strapped into a top bunk as I've seen on some Asian railway vlogs. Good job
