Is TAZARA down right now?
This page tracks TAZARA status by collecting TAZARA down reports from passengers planning trips on the Dar es Salaam to Kapiri Mposhi line. A single page failing is often a stale link from a search result. Reports arriving together about the whole site failing suggest the railway web server itself.
Start from the site home page rather than a deep link saved long ago. Timetable and notice pages move as the site is tidied, and old links die quietly. The home page routes you to the current copies.
Is TAZARA down for me or everyone?
Decide is TAZARA down for me by loading the site on your phone data and reading the board here. If the phone loads while your computer fails, clear the computer browser cache. If both fail and reports are rising, the site is down and station phone numbers become the backup route.
Planning a Dar es Salaam to Kapiri Mposhi trip
The full run crosses Tanzania into Zambia and takes far longer than the road, so plan food, water and a charged phone. Passenger trains on the line include express and ordinary services with different stopping patterns. Pick the service by its timetable first, then by class.
Seats and sleepers are arranged through TAZARA stations and booking offices rather than a full online checkout. The website lists office contacts and travel rules to prepare with. Book ahead for holiday periods, when the ordinary trains fill with traders and families.
Reading the passenger train timetable
The timetable shows departure days, station times and the direction of each service. Trains on this line do not run daily, so match the day of the week with care. Times at border stations involve a stop for formalities, which the timetable builds into the run.
How reservations work for the long-distance trains
Reservations are made at stations and booking offices, where staff confirm class, berths and the travel day. During a TAZARA outage on the website, office phone numbers are the working route for current seat news. Pay at the office and keep the paper ticket safe, since the whole trip depends on it.
Checking train notices before a border crossing run
Travel notices carry changes to departure days, service suspensions and border guidance. Read the newest notice before leaving for the station, since a suspended service strands passengers far from home. Carry your passport and any needed permits for the Zambia crossing. Border crossers plan the same careful read, and the TCC site is where many of them check the rules first.
Common TAZARA Problems and Fixes
The TAZARA site is a small information site, so most faults are old cached pages, broken downloads or a tired connection. These checks help you reach the current timetable.
Timetable page shows an old version
Refresh the page while holding a hard reload, or open it in a private window. Search engines cache old timetable copies, so enter through the site home page for the current one.
The whole site will not open
Test on mobile data to rule out your network. Try again after a short wait, since small sites dip under load. Use the station phone contacts in the meantime for urgent travel checks.
A timetable download fails
Right-click and save the file instead of opening it in the browser. Large PDF files fail on weak links, so retry on a stronger connection. The HTML timetable page carries the same times.
Contact form never sends
Forms fail when a required field hides below the fold. Fill every field, then send again. If it still fails, use the office phone numbers listed on the site instead.
Notice page opens blank
Open the notices list again and pick the newest item by its heading. A blank page is often a broken file link. The timetable page still loads while a single notice file is broken.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the TAZARA website down today?
Reports on this page show whether others are stuck too. Several reports about the site failing at once mean a shared web problem. A quiet board points to your browser cache or connection.
How do I book a TAZARA train ticket?
Tickets and reservations run through TAZARA stations and booking offices. The website lists office contacts, classes and travel rules. Book ahead in busy periods and keep the paper ticket safe.
Does the TAZARA train run every day?
No. Passenger services run on set days each week, and express and ordinary trains follow different patterns. Read the timetable for the exact day before planning around it.
How long is the Dar es Salaam to Kapiri Mposhi trip?
The full run is a long-distance journey well over a day of travel. Border formalities add time at the crossing. Carry food, water and a charged phone for the trip.
Can I book TAZARA tickets online?
There is no full online checkout for this line. The website gives timetables, fares and office contacts, while stations and booking offices sell and reserve the seats.
What documents do I need for the Zambia trip?
Carry a valid passport and any permits the border requires. Keep them with your paper ticket for the crossing stop. Check the travel notices before you leave for changes.
