Pictures and videos of the epic blue train fun circulated on social media. Those who missed out on the fun wished they were.

People danced and enjoyed drinks as the train took them to destination Desert Race. The train arrived just after 4am and the revellers were in the right mood to continue the fun and explore sample Phikwe.

Addressing the media just some few hours after arrival, Botswana Railways (BR) Director of Business Development, Steven Makuke said the occasion was a great experience and a start of bigger things to come.
