The Tazara Railway spans 1,860 kilometers from Dar es Salaam in Tanzania to Kapiri Mposhi in Zambia, constructed in the 1970s with Chinese assistance to provide a landlocked country access to the Indian Ocean port. This single-track Cape gauge line crosses varied terrain including savannas, mountains, and the Selous Game Reserve, carrying passengers and freight on scheduled trains that take about 38-48 hours end-to-end. It remains a key overland transport route in East Africa despite occasional delays from maintenance issues.
