TAZARA train 21 No Animals To See

 Hot tea with milk and sugar came with breakfast each morning on the train. By the third and fourth days, the scenery was still incredible, but it felt slightly repetitive —and so did the food, which was the same for each meal.

One of the highlights of the Tazara is supposed to be passing through wildlife parks. Unfortunately, because of all the delays, it was dark when we did — meaning there were no animals to see. I had to content myself with watching the continually unfolding green forests and fields, and the thunderstorms that rolled through every few hours.
