Friends of mine recently did that trip. It cost 104,000 TZS per person in first class (max 4 people in a cabin) and well worth it if you have the time. Halfway through the trip the train ran out of water so you might want to bring some water just in case so you can brush your teeth, etc. they said it was comfortable and the advantage of being in first class is that not everyone has to lie down or sit at the same time because the seats/beds aren't dependent on each other as the ones in second class (max 6 people).

The Tuesday Train from Dar es Salaam to Zambia (Kapirimposhi) is the nice one. But it's nice to make booking some days back. I can help you how it works. +255 784 490 399
