An amazing journey on the train in Africa when I took the train from Dankar to bamako 5 years ago.
I had a remarkable 45 hour journey on this train in May 2008. The spectacular views, and slow way of moving through vast plains of West Africa were not undermined by the inevitable discomfort of travelling on a very old, dirty train. This is not a journey for the faint hearted nor for those who appreciate creature comforts. I spent most of my waking time gazing for hours out of the windows (which didn't close) enjoying the breeze (when it wasn't too warm) and the wide view. I arrived in Bamako happy, exhausted and eager a cold water!"
