Most people who have traveled to Tanzania know that flights into and out of the country can be rather expensive.
Instead of booking a plane ticket, a cheaper (and more scenic option) to travel with is the TAZARA train if you’re going to or from Zambia to Tanzania.
TAZARA stands for the Tanzania-Zambia Railway Authority and moves over 12,000 passengers a week between Tanzania and Zambia
Fortunately, many travelers going to East Africa are trying to explore several countries at a time, so the connection makes sense.
Along the way, you’ll be able to see beautiful scenery throughout the countryside instead of the clouds from above — you’ll even cross through large uninhabited areas of the Selous Game Reserve.
Flights between the two countries run close to US$450 bucks, but a first class ticket on TAZARA only costs a bit over $US25. Sounds like a no-brainer to us if you aren’t on a tight schedule.
