This is one of those legendary train journeys. The route is around 530 km long, and the overnight ride is supposed to take 12 hours, but usually takes more - 7 extra hours in our case. You get to see wild animals outside, and you are fairly well fed, and everything is a bit retro. Unfortunately, in my scrambled eggs I found a snot with a hair attached to it, and that was the end of my eating on this train. Kenya Railways has a tradition of killing its passengers. There have been numerous accidents, and in 1993 this train plunged off a bridge into a river full of crocodiles, resulting in 140 fatalities.
