Africa is a Golden Continent From Somalia One Africa
Bro, I appreciate your sentiments for a united Africa being "One". But Africa is far too diverse with too many different languages, culture, history, ideals and aspirations. Take Somalia for instance ; it must be the the most divided country in the world, fighting each other tooth and nail. By all standards, it is regarded as a "failed state". Just how do you propose to unite an entire continent if you can't even unite and reconcile one country? Let's be realistic before being idealistic. Africa's potential is largely underutilized and unrealized. Each country must first realize it's own potential, utilize it's own resources, develop it's own people and infrastructure and succeed on it's own without aid from abroad. And then, through co-operation with their neighbors, develop a sub-region before tackling the continent as a whole. If not, then one strong nation will over power another and exploit the weaker one. An artificially united Africa will quickly be subject to immense power struggles and it will quickly be "hijacked" by unscrupulous, power hungry individuals that will dump the entire continent into crisis. Uniting Africa through sentiment alone will make it weaker, not stronger and will tear itself apart.
No matter what,Africa is heaven on Earth.
In the 50's I was in Dar Es Salaam on a Royal war ship then down to Durban for a Royal visit before moving onto Port Elizabeth,a visit to see the elephants organisd by the local branch of the Royal Naval association befor we moved onto the Cape, here we celibrated South Africa's independence. We were treated to a feast ,local & South African families looked after us..Mr.& Mrs Hart,if any one of your family or decendants ever read this blog..I still recall your hospitaly, thank you. I am now 85 years old. In Durban I had a visit to the Mayville Hotel..again thanks for the hospitality, I still have the set of wine glasses you gave. me and the memories.
Great memories.
@@pavankarunarathna7549 I am a Nigerian..lived in Mwanza Tanzania.Had the privilege driving from Zambia to Dar-es-Salaam in very early seventies during construction of Tarazar Rd and Rail and will like to know the total cost in Rovos train from Cape Town to Dar-es-Salaam.
Proud to be from Victoria falls zimbabwe
I'm from Kenya. Love everything about the continent. Truly the pride of Africa!!!
Fahari ya Afrika...

That rail Safari should have been extended to Kenya, not ending in Tanzania as it does.
For the last 42 minutes...I was in a magical place
Yes ..this is a great Journey ...True . I hope for one day I will come there .
Africa open your eyes
Totally Intoxicating 42 minutes..... 💓 Africa is Crown 👑 of this Planet Earth... Love you All from Pakistan 🇵🇰.
Seeing the real people of Africa, notice the man with one leg riding the bike, made me pause and realize this train trip though lovely, has nothing really to do with life in Africa, it glides above the Living.
Yes, especially taking into consideration that the cheapest ticket for this trip is more than 3 times the annual income of a minimum wage worker.
Most trips do, even for the regular guy's vacation.....
I saw that one too
God bless and keep you !!!
Perhaps one day the indigenous people of Africa may reclaim their continent. Or never.
I had no idea such a train existed. The beauty and luxury is impressive. I will go on this train ride in the near future.
It does. So exciting.
Took this train from Victoria Falls to Capetown about 25 years ago. The route was curtailed because of civil disturbances. Great food. Wonderful experience.
Africa is beautiful and I'm proud to be African one love to all Africans
Brother how many days travel time it's.
@@Abhishekyadav-st2no two weeks
@@misransiano6265 This trip looks so awesome between the sights & the luxurious train. But in your onion, as a black woman, would I be safe? Would I feel ostracized?
You will be very well taken care of and made very welcome wherever you are on our wonderful continent 🇿🇦
@@carlolinks4931 Really shows the effect of apartheid on South Africa and the wealth divide between races.
The narrator's deep smooth voice , the soothing music and the enchanting landscape make for one of the best documentaries I ever saw. This truly is the pride of Africa.
It's a commercial!
@@nonenoneonenonenone Im sold either way!
rubbish, the man has obviously never been there, why do you lie?
It is not a documentary sir, it is a 'commercial'. A long commercial, but a commercial none the less. AND it is definitely NOT the pride of Africa. It is the reenactment of a fallen king's nostalgia.
@@oldmanofsacramento you are right. All the passengers are white. Ive been a tourist in areas of great piverty
South Africa is a beautiful place indeed, we must be proud as south African to have this beautiful place
No more
A beautifully narrated journey. I am a proud child of Africa. Born and raised in Zambia ( then Northern Rhodesia ) I attended high school as a border in Bulawayo Zimbabwe ( Rhodesia ) and I now live in South Africa since 1981. I have seen Victoria Falls a few times and I have visited many beautiful Game Reserves. This video takes its viewers on a wonderful African journey 👍
Magnificent journey I could also enjoy viewing on my cellphone.

Me born in.NYASALAND and raised until 11 then imprisoned in a **** UK school. Never forgave my parents!
BTW my Aunt was Chief Education Officer in Zambia
and they say money cant buy happiness? It can buy a real nice trip on a train thats for sure.
Can you be happy realizing you spent on this trip a sum which is equivalent of 5 to 10 years of a big family income in Tanzanian town? And when you visit to town the same way as you visited to the game park?
@zmalol m Yes I can be happy. Or am I not supposed to enjoy life because i work hard and earn a lot of money because there might be some poor people in that area or the average person there makes less than I do. Should the train not go through there even though it might create jobs or maybe revenue for the locals? What am I allowed to actually do if I cant go on this nice train? Let me know or would you vote to shut down the train all together because not everyone can afford to ride it.
@@TheRedDevil_NC I am a traveler, so I can afford what poor people can't. But I try to make it in "a sustainable" way using local transport and eating in popular eateries. I try to mingle with locals but of course I know there always will be a contrast and as you pointed out the local's income from my travels are no the same as from these rich people. Well, answering your question, I vote to lower the standard and the price of the train trip letting the rich passengers to donate the remaining amount to communities on the way they are passing through. Mr RoVos could be this way a more serious guy I think.
@@zmalol I would love that idea, but I can't see Rovos give up their high-end luxury status. Bringing time and patience to travel by local ordinary trains sound a lot more appealing to me (if there are any other passenger trains there)
I Agree Completely
Drinking wine from my Rovos Rail wine glass from our wonderful trip on the Brenda in 2000. Beautiful video!
So Beautiful
Train of life .just arosed my vision arround train's tracks❤
Epic journey. On day, just one day, I will take this trip.
Its so expensive lol almost 30k
@@ajvaani593 I would still do it!
I too dream of this trip..
Thank you so very much. Great gift.
One day I will be a passenger of this luxurious train.....
I travelled from Pretoria to Cape town for my 50th wedding anniversary in 2006 when it was a fairly new project . We had the royal suite carriage to ourselves . It was a most wonderful experience.The report has brought tears to my eyes remembering it as my dear husband is no longer with me, I hope to return to repeat the journey in the not too distant future . Well done Rovos Rail
More of the positive stuff about Africa. It is an amazing place to be. Thank you so much Lernidee. African people are peaceful,calm and welcoming. One world one people.
"African people are peaceful, calm and welcoming" Umm, sorry, would that be the same Africa of the Hutu's and Tutsi's?
S. Scirocco - You read my mind.
Really, I know of some very unhappy and fearful natives of Africa who fear the white man will try to take over just like they did to North America. The rich white man will buy up your land and enslave you soon enough. Good Luck. Who ever pays you is your master.
Gary Brunecz - Sorry you’re unemployed, hope you find a job someday! Good luck!

Beautiful Africa love from India ...a thanks to channel owner love it
Is there a 'love from India' comment on every damn video on KZhead? Keep it to yourself pajeet
The most beautiful of south Africa I ever seen.
Talk about a bucket-list item! I've was in Zimbabwe in 1990 (before it was ruined by Mugabe) and Ghana in 1974 for the Peace Corps and have always wanted to go back for more, because Africa is a truly magical place that transported me back to humanity's original homeland. I swear that the landscapes and animals stirred some ancient memories locked in my DNA, as close to a religious experience as anyone can get, including us skeptics. Everyone who's been there will know what I mean!
Mugabe learnt from the masters!
Thank you for taking me on this trip at the comfort of my home. It is indeed a DREAM trip. When this pandemic is over, I wish to experience the same - first hand.
This is the one that inspires me. I have always wanted to go to Africa.
Please come.
Wonderful film to watch. Nice landscapes.
I am a photographer this is a dream
One of the most fascinating videos, I have ever seen, wish I could afford to fly to Africa, let alone go on this trip STUNNING, FASCINATING, BEAUTIFUL! If there were a contest to win this trip, I would enter a 1000 times! The view of Victoria Falls was a surprise to me, I had no idea it was on a narrow gorge and was so incredibly wide! It is like going to Trevi Fountain in Rome, I had no idea it was in such a small square!
I’m obsessed with rails & orient express & long luxury rail journeys,,, Not fully accomplished yet,,,,
Travelled with the voice of the narrator. The royal finnese, the luxury and the scenery are all a dream come true journey..... Breathtaking!
your mistake is the voice, dear
stunning documentary of a dream holiday
Remember crossing that bridge as a kid & train passengers waving at us ... on our way to RSA ... 1961... Zambia was exquisite ... halcyon childhood in Southern & Northern Rhodesia... Africa adieu....
Capetown, Livingstone, dares Salam, really I miss it. Africa is beautiful, having travelled over 90 times, no other place is as rich experience due to its great local people. Wonderful done movie
Hi. I would like to know, how much cost this trip from cape town to Dar es Salaam? tksss a lot

The most noblest art is that of making others happy and Rovos Rail has done exactly that !
Wonderful train staff
My next target in winning in my Ultra Lotto!!!
A bathtub on a train - heaven!
Wow, I enjoyed this Adventure very much. Saw things of great beauty and remembered a journey from Capetown to Daresalam although along the Coast; working on a Cargo Ship from the German East Afrika Line back in the middle of the 1970ties as Able-bodied Seaman, 20 years old. Thank you for bringing that back to me.
This work is a piece of art.
I don't see a picture of it.
thank you so so much.. ..it's well documented... i live in Dar es Salaam... the first time i encounter Rovos train in TAZARA(tanzania zambia railway) here in Dar was i guess in August 2020..it was epic... welcome again to Tanzania... Africa most friendliest country.
Wow would love it if Mr Vos could send me and my husband an invitation to experience this journey Gail from South Africa you never know if you could be blessed . .

This use to be my home , l was a 🍺 bartender for 8;years lt was the best job l ever had , l would like to thank the Rovos Rail owner who trusted us with his master piece that he started with his family , we all became one family at rovos lm now based in the republic of Ireland and l still say when ever you get a chance in life , visit south Africa and take a trip from Capetown to Darasalaam you will thank me laiter
The continent of Africa is a breath taking country 🇺🇸
So, what is it...a continent or a country?
Australia is both a continent and a country but africa is a continent comprising about 54 independent countries each with unique culture and indigenous languages. Welcome
@@AlvinSeville1 A Continent with over 60 countries.
Actually it is a continent with 54 countries, with thousands of languages and cultures.❤❤❤
What a beautiful train journey ! O God give me chance to do this train journey. !
Granted
No God shall come, you'll have to get there own your own and get a chance
Thank you for sharing this special video, this is one I will remember. Excellent.
This the most beautiful journey ever. You extend the journey to Uganda
A train journey of a lifetime through a part of a continent with so much history, incredible scenery & wildlife! God bless Africa!
Quando as pessoas querem fazer algo de bom para a população e incrível, muito bom!.

Me too man,
This is refreshing
Nothing to beat that! How I'd love that! Certainly a spectacular experience, one would never forget! The views, the people, congrats to the hardworking staff!
THANK YOU HEAVENLY FATHER FOR CREATING THIS BEAUTIFUL BREATHTAKING COUNTRY I’ve the privilege to live in and for RULE,CONTROL AND PROTECTING against all evil!!!!
Great experience watching the Rovos train from Dar es Salaam to Cape town. A video experience
Dear god please bless me the privilege to take this trip
Good to see during this period of lockdown
I love trains and train journeys. The Earth is still an în incredibly beautiful place. Let's hope it is not beyond redemption.
Watching the documentary and I couldn't help but notice the disparities between the passengers and the local people of the areas they transit through. Luxury amidst grinding poverty, a sober reminder of colonial hangover .
Yes, with no shame!
And Jesus said, "the poor you will always have". Stop lamenting, work hard, seek God's blessings and you will ride the train.
Rovos is purely racist and still using colonial masters tactics in that region.They are doing apartheid differently now.
@@shaunbarry4325 Correct Shaun...i was scanning my eyes through the audience on the train and couldn 't see even one black traveller...but black servants...is this tour open for everyone or a selected few very rich whites?
@@hamiltonkhoza1469 That’s a fact.These are the modern slave masters supported by the Western governments.
Not only the train but the railroad itself seems to be in really good condition. As they crossed bridges, I saw no rust. The stations seemed clean, the safari jeeps new, and the streets peaceful. Amazing, really. I have to wonder how much tickets cost. Must be a small fortune.
US $ 18000.
Yea do u know Y take a guess! Have u seen the other trains in africa .
@WalterRamjet HeroOfOurNation I would not have been surprised if it was closer to twenty Grand. In American currency is actually doable
WalterRamjet HeroOfOurNation l
if you have to ask, you cant afford it lol
The beautiful landscapes of a eastern African railway journey is a fascinating documentary video which have never been broadcasted ever before. The live safari shows us many wild animals such as a elephant, rhinoceros, giraffe, deer,lions ,crocodiles.the helicopter travel provides us the views of victoria falls,never ending horizon by bird's eye. 6000km trip ! Thanks for your posting. 🍀🍀
Excellent, these are once in a lifetime journey's remembered in generations...
Beautiful train rolling through beautiful scenery. It just doesn't get any better than this. Thank you for sharing this amazing video! I love seeing the African wildlife, especially the elephants and lions!
Thanks for the great African journey enjoyed a lot
Mama Africa! . . . . . . . . . .👍🏾
Absolutely mesmerizing and amazing African landscapes.
We met Rohan Vos in 1998 in the early days of Rico’s Rail. Had a wonderful trip from Pretoria to Cape Town. Truely a luxurious and memorable trip

Greetings from Capetown SA. Watching during 2020 lockdown Covid. Thank you.

The breath-taking beauty of nature and wilderness continues to overwhelm ...
Rovos b nvm
Its true - African sunsets are the best and no other sunset anywhere in the world can beat it - esp when out in the bush and its all yellows, oranges and reds...
The best video of South African Train journey, with best narration, scenes of jungle safary, local sites and enjoyable background music. Thanks a lot.
