The Tazara - The Most Dangerous Railway Lines in the World | Documentation | ARTE
In 1970 the construction of one of the most daring infrastructure projects in Africa, the Tanzania-Zambia Railway, or "Tazara" for short, began. The railway line was inaugurated in 1976. Around 1,860 kilometers of tracks were laid through dense forest, unpopulated savannah and high mountains to connect the coastal metropolis of Dar es Salaam in northeast Tanzania with the city of Kapiri Mposhi in the center of Zambia. The locals also affectionately call their train "Uhuru" - freedom, a symbol of people's hope for a self-determined life.
The documentary accompanies the "Tazara" on their 52-hour journey through Tanzania and Zambia and shows with spectacular aerial photos not only the architectural monuments, but also the unknown sides of the previously hidden landscapes of Tanzania and Zambia.
Even today, the blue locomotive is greeted with great cheers when it pulls into one of the small train stations with a loud signal. The entire village is then on its feet to top up the small budget with a few snacks and drinks for the travelers. The train drivers have to warn herds of monkeys, elephants, lions, hippos and giraffes galloping past in good time, while the passengers from the train can enjoy the wild animals safely. Because with a trip with the Tazara the safari is included in the price. After the Tazara has left the Selous Game Reserve behind, comes the most dangerous and most scenic section of the route.
Usually the legendary train crosses this part at night. But the camera team was allowed to travel the route on a rail vehicle during the day. A drone takes unique, never-before-seen images from the air, which give an extraordinary view of a largely unknown area in which only the railway has left its mark.
