I also heard about a rail ferry in Africa.

Possibly that is the Tanzania service operating on Lake Victoria. I've
heard of it, but the last mention I find in my railroad book collection is
in 1979. When I was in Uganda this past July, I found that there were
several trains a day in the Kampala area, but it appeared that a lot of
stuff was containerized. I'm therefore wondering if the ferry service no longer moves actual freight cars, but instead moves containers only.

Still mentioned here:

They added one more (passengers use it as a normal ferry)
through the Bohai Sea in 2007:

Does the latter still carry passengers in passenger railcars?
