Hello,
if you have even been:
tired of super-modern diesel stuff?
seen as a thread to national security when taking a diesel picture?
interested to ride in the cab of a diesel-engine in regular service?

then you should join our tour to the GM and GE diesels of the 1980s (and before) of Zimbabwe!

Due to the financial difficulties of the National Railways of Zimbabwe and Zambia, and plagued by very low maintanence capabilities, the GM and GE diesel engines still run in daily service in this African country.
Travel is safe and with an official permit, taking pictures is not a problem at all!
