Zambian landscape look great wonder how does it cost to travel in these railways?
@NeilShawTravels15 күн бұрын
The Zambian landscape is amazing. These railways are all reasonably priced. For example, Kapiri Mposhi (central Zambia) to Dar es Salaam is only US$32 in first class to travel 1860 kilometres over three days (the full length of the TAZARA railway)!

Good to see former Yugoslavia. Thank you

Greetings. Firstly, lovely to find another South African traveller online. Secondly, traveling by rail in the Balkans….very adventurous indeed. The craziness of the number of border crossings especially in the countries of the former Yugoslavia. Where once there were interconnecting trains within the western balkans, much of that infrastructure was well and truly destroyed in the 1990’s. Lastly, great editing.

its like saying "Traveling Across the USA" and then proceeding to get a flight from NYC to LA, visit albania and then we'll talk about you having visited the balkans

There are currently no functioning trains in Albania. I know because I went there too. The documentary has a train theme, so that is why Albania is not included.

I must say, as a train enthusiast, I loved this program. It is real travel thru a strange land. Still with beauty and mystery. This is much better than the high priced luxurious train I've seen on u tube, with plump rich white people only on it. Not the reality that you have shown. I am now subcribed. Thank you. P.j. California USA.

This isn't west Africa. It's South west Africa. West Africa is Sierra Leone lol. And if anyone's going to reply some nonsense, I'd recommend searching the map of the "mid-west" or "southern" US. I know this video is probably for the EU to US western audience, but imagine how they'd feel about the journalistic integrity of The Telegraph when a TikTok goes viral about this video, months-years from now. Anyway, fix the title to "West to East of Southern Africa" or at least "South-West to East Africa"; Tanzania is part of SADC and EAC.

I enjoyed your video.How can such a rich beautiful continent remain so impoverished and dangerous?
@NeilShawTravels2 ай бұрын
That is the million dollar question. I'll try to give some of my perspectives. To start with the European colonial period caused some damage which African countries have struggled to get past (Europeans carved up the continent and created countries where none existed putting together many different ethnic groups and often pitting them against each other to divide and rule -- Rwanda is a good example of a terrible outcome of that. The DR Congo is a massive resource-rich country the size of Western Europe created by Belgium, whose kleptocratic leader Mobutu, installed by the west, drove the "country" into the ground. Tanzania also consists of many different ethnic groups but Nyerere managed to nation-build so they have also been at peace). Prior to the colonial period, the slave trade was also damaging to African society. Since independence (most African countries in the 1960s) mistakes were made (centralised economies that were a failure, for example) and weak government institutions are an on-going issue. How can Africa have strong governments and not strong men? I believe among all the challenges there is hope in the thriving multiparty democracies such as Zambia and Ghana.

And it's interesting that with only a handheld, you make better scenic views and portraits than the KZbinrs with their drones. It's all about the heart of it, capturing the essence, rather than the technology. 🙏

By mixing water from two different oceans, there is a risk of spreading invasive species. Even a small amount can release unwated creatures into an ecosystem that is not theirs.
