Wide angle for landscapes and train views, maybe 24-70 or similar. Tele for wildlife if doing safari. Don't bring everything, you'll regret the weight on trains and hikes. One good zoom and prime is enough for most.

People outside stations offer to "help" buy tickets but charge large markups. They may buy cheap third-class tickets and sell as more expensive classes.
