The WORST Train in AFRICA! 

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.... 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.

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😂

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

That was hilarious 😂 he bitched and moaned the whole journey, his entitlement had me in tears it was a joy to watch especially we he tried to sleep. 😊

I'm sorry but your reaction to the train bumps was hilarious 😅🤣😂 I'm rolling🤣

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 feel blessed by your videos . I could see Tanzania LIVE and raw. Great video .

This is too much😂😂😂😂.Love it!!. Still want to go to Tanzania!!! Love an adventure.

Welcome to Africa! I travelled on the Tanzam railway twice - some people never learn!

I'm giggling with you! You're Great! Thanks for the entertaining videos! You're experiencing a wonderful life. Thanks for sharing it.

Ben That was like a bad nightmare on that train for you. Glad you made it. Always enjoy watching your videos!

thank you for going through that for us. cant wait for the next one

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

🤣🤣💚🇹🇿 You brought back good memories of mine, next time take a bus or fly. Until SGR is done trains are reserved for adventurers. Karibu tena.

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 .

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

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

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. 👍

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!

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 👍

What's the longest train or bus you have been on? Let me know...😩

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!

This video was hilarious, defintely the funniest thing I've watched in ages.

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.

That was some journey 😂😂😂😂

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

Next time try to board DELEXE train to Kigoma,every Thursday going from Dar es salaam.ITS in good condition compared to that you board

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

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...

😂😂😂 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.

your commentary/sarcasm is the best :).

Hi Ben This is a genuine piece of work. Slipping on the sling ladder made me laugh. You are a good man. Please keep it up.

Wow, amazing! I know many people dislike being filmed. Wonder what equipment do you use and achieve such great results?!

after seeing this, i will never complain about indian railways.

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.

Amazing video! Just subscribed. I hope you find a lovely hotel at the end of your journey for being so brave.

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!

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.

I will definitely try that train, it looks like an adventure 🤣🤣. Saddened of how dirty it is though. Watching from Kenya.

thanks for doing the things that I would never do! Looking forward to the rest of your trip incl. Zanzibar I guess

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!

Arriving completely destroyed... wenyewe tunasema unafika umevurugwa.....🤣🤣

7:44 Ok guys, the magic starts here! 😂😆🤣🙌

I guess you have got an amazing experience to tell about your journey. It was both chaos and nice

Very good experience, Ihope you have enjoyed your journey

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.

Omggg 😂😂😂 Does it make me a sadist if I laughed pretty hard at your misery?

This is so funny. Really cheered me up. Thanks Ben 😂

Actual lol. Watching Ben getting pinged all over the gaff is hilarious hahahaah

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!

And the kid! Adorableeeeeeee 😍😍😍

😂😂😂this was hilarious 😅😅 thank you for sharing your journey 😂😂😂😂

That train was absolutely honkin hank howlin, you done well suffering through that & all the door bangers & big mouths outside it Ben lad.

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.

i'v taken that train several times the experience is amazing

THAT was an amazing video! Now I'm a subscriber!

Ben this literally just popped up on my homepage, absolutely insane. Hope you are well!

Omg this a masterpiece video so many memes can be made out😂😂

I'm Tanzanian 🇹🇿but i have to lough so loud 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅🤭because i remember lastime i took train i was about 14 years with my parents we were going to a funeral Tanga, And now I'm 38 years old but i living in Europe 🇩🇪deutschland

Honestly this is one of the funniest and best videos I’ve ever seen 😂 going to sub!

I had to watch this twice, was laughing so hard I was crying so couldn’t see anything 😂😂😂 excellent video!!

A lot of buses and planes available there But you choose the cheapest way and you got what you wanted Lol 😂😂😂

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 .

Wow, much respect! I thought Bald traveled rough. This is insane.

Absolutely brilliant watching this in Carlisle Cumbria thanks for sharing Ben looks absolutely awesome 😂😂😂

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!

OMG..😱 Ben so Intersting your Journey 😍👌non stop laughing and so funny 😁😀😂 take care stay safe 👍 God bless you 🙏

OMG I can't. I did not notice there was a man sleeping peacefully below Ben. Best video I have ever seen in my life.

Crazy train ride. Great video man.

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.

I think you should wait for the standard gauge railway

New sub 😎Dude ur my new favourite yt omg your funnier and better than Karl and all them tomz guys and shi , u know how to say NO firm , and I love it

You looked so comfortable just laying there lol 😊😊😊

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.

Watching some ads for ya take care!

Great seeing you are exploring Tanzania, if you are still in Tanzania would love to catch up with you nd recommend some other local places that will be amazing for content creation! lets link up! Asante

wow that was an amazing insight of the kind of traveling they do over there. i will sub just to see what i can learn here

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!

How sad for the people of Tanzania that their transport is like this. Thank you for sharing.

you are one hell of a brave man. Never seen owt like this in my 86 years on this planet. thank you for sharing.

I enjoyed your video very informative and love how clear the video is, when you said First Class I didn't know what to expect but I guess for 27 dollars that makes sense. You're such a trooper for sleeping in that top bunk. Don't think I would have trusted myself to do that I would've rolled right off LOL. Also, you made a smart move to avoid the toilets I would've done the same. It must've felt like Paradise when you finally reached your hotel room. I really liked your video so I subscribed :). Thank you for showing us your experience.

I laughed so hard when you realised its only 15 min and you still have 26 hrs and 45 min to go😂

Welcome to Tanzania again.

Loved the train vlog would like to see you take the trains in Ethiopia too!

Haha that train journey 4u seemed flipping brilliant 🤣🤣🤣

SGR electic train will start soon don’t worry. Maghufulication coming up to save you 👍🇹🇿

I’m watching this while travelling in Vande Bharat Express 🇮🇳😁

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 RU-vid, next video recommended to me was this. Now I'm hooked on this horrible train and left you a sub :)

I'd like to share my thoughts of you on the train....I thought it was funny AF actually. It was the funniest shit I've seen in ages. I was laughing so far kin hard my dog started barking. Thanks for sharing that trip.

Funniest video I have ever seen don't know why I can't stop laughing I think it's so bad you have no choice than to laugh

This must your most worst train journey ever.

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.

this was one of the most hilarious videos I've ever watched. My husband and I were roaring with laughter.

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.

Huyu msenge alipanda hii treni ILI asafiri au ili ajue treni yetu like ?. Naombeni majibu wananzengo

I have not laughed so hard in a long time. Thank you very much for sharing.

Thanks for sharing your experiences, very interesting! How long have you been a backpacker?
