An Epic Adventure: 5,000 Kms by Rail Across Africa
David W. Edgington, Professor Emeritus, Geography

Have you ever dreamed about taking a 2-week rail journey from Cape Town to Dar es Salem? Well I have - and I eventually made this African jaunt in 2024. My presentation will describe the daily rhythm of life on the train (people, meals and other fun), together with the interesting places we visited along the way. And hey - who knew there was a Railway station at Victoria Falls?

Format: Zoom
