Where do the rich Tanzanians live in Dar es Salaam? In Masaki, it turns out. Join me on this compelling journey around a casino, a yacht club, Slipway and more of the good life in Tanzania. #tanzania #daressalaam #masaki
I’m from TZ too, you are hilarious. “I’m a poor white man” lol. Most people there think if you are coming from U.S, you are rich. Love the Swahili you speak..”Kua rafiki yangu.” Lol
It not only tanzanian but all African, like all the PEOPLE from africa think that if someone comes from America then they are rich 🤑 even Congolese people think that 🇨🇩
@@aaawa2074 This is where things get really messy cuz. Let's assume a poor American on tight budget is on tourism to cheap countries anywhere around the world and then the locals charge them exorbitant amount just cuz they came from rich country. Believe it or not this happens quite more often than you think.
@@aaawa2074 For example I visit historical monuments in my country quite often. And once went to ruins of Hampi where I saw foreigners had to pay 5x to 6x times more than an Indian has to pay. Some monuments needed caddy rides to get to the place and what I saw was most foreigners were walking in a scorching sun to avoid paying exorbitant amount of cash that Indian government was trying to charge them.
Watching this in locked-down over a year England. I'm thinking how great this place looks. The local people so friendly and the sunshine and the sounds of the sea. It's like another world. Subscribed, thanks for posting this mate.
@@SabbaticalTommy I was rotting in the lockdown in Germany but then hopped on a plane and stayed in Mexico from November to late March :) it was amazing. Now I'm in Germany again , really hate it here can't wait to go back to Mexico
@@FerDucati69 biggest differences between germany and mexico are quite easy for me to tell you , look 1) food. The food in mexico is amazing, in germany there is no cuisine. (except arab and turkish food is rlly good) 2) People. The people are a lot nicer in latin countries, in germany in certain cities they have that "winter mood", bad mood, etc. 3) The weather. Other than the 1 and a half months of real summer in germany, the weather here sucks ass, its depresive which makes people have an overall bad mood which is contagious. 4) Salaries. The salaries in Germany for any kind of job are way higher then those in Mexico. 5) Cost of living. Eventho the salaries in Germany are higher, so is the cost of living, in Berlin for example you cant currently find any affordable apartment , anything u get is gonna be small and very overpriced. For the same amount of money you get a 50m apartment in berlin, you can live on a mansion in Mexico. Germany is nice, but only if you have a very high paying job and if you can take vacations often to get the sun , otherwise u will be depresive after a couple years. Source: I am leaving germany soon to a sunny land :D
It was funny when you asked the guy by the seaside "where are are the fish?" And he answer is "out in the sea " ...hard to work out who was the silliest 😂
Man i binge-watched almost all your vids, i see similarity in approach to foreigners here in Serbia and Africans, although poverty force people there to ask for money in some situations but its understandable, you changed my view on the Africa in a positive way. I hope you will visit Serbia and The Balkans sometime in the future, stay safe here from Belgrade!
All our neighbors are expat brits living in Izmir Turkey. This year Serbian police and border officers really did a number on everyone with foreign plates. I heard stories of them throwing suitcases on the floor and pulling on trim pieces. They make you empty all the cars. I still love Serbian peoples though. But im not so sure if travel is a good idea. Especially with the whole Kosovo Serbia conflict going on.
"I feel really uncomfortable in places like that, I don't know why..." Probably because you bluffed your way into a member's only club where you weren't supposed to be, then walked around filming it. 🤣🤣🤣
We don't eat people here in Tanzania so welcome any time and be sure to visit my establishments. I worry walking or driving any place in America as a black person because I can get killed any time so don't worry, we are cool in Tanzania
@@Abstractor21 All I can say is people who want to tour Tanzania, please find us a.k.a veterans don't look for our poor sisters and brothers then say you met Tanzanians because the perception is that we are low life people. Like showing videos of a woman from a village saying I lije you because you are mzungu lol! 😂😂😂😂 Those people don't know you guys they never been to your countries they think you are rich or better than them but to us veterans we know you are nobody and you don't even have money or a leg to stand on. I have more money old and new more assets than all of you wazungu who are making videos and talking down about Africans here. 😂😂😂 check out here on RU-vid .....poverty in America , poverty in England 😂😂😂😂 the first World uhu! People sleeping under the bridge poorest conditions in nursing homes can't even put your dog in it. Pambaneni na hali zenu achaneni na wabongo, unas spakoina shizni suda....panyatna?
@@crispouk3070 are you speaking English or? What do you mean there are more black Americans in Tanzania than people, black Americans are people too so are you damb. We don't discriminate, we are a nation of many races, Indians, Arabs, whites people, white and black Americans live in Tanzania and call it their country so don't bring your stupidity crap here. All I said is don't try to show people only villsges, show everything and if you can't ask don't try to portray us as all around primitive, unedicated, this is not 1820s we will respond to your colonial mind so get that thru your thick skull. I'm way above you, educational wise, financial wise, you are nothing remember that
Pretty girl at the end...I couldn't tell if she was asking you out or just trying to drum up some business for her establishment...good way to wrap, though... :0)
No Hyatt Regency is the most expensive hotel in Dar, but some of the hotels like Four Season Serengeti or Mnemba Hotel in Zanzibar are the priciest hotels in Tanzania (upwards of couple thousand dollars per night). Also masaki house prices start north 300k USD for appartments and 800-10M+ for houses.
We love natural we dont need Good roads like USA: we are very rich in tz but we dont copy other countries. Please watch what you are saying in the camera.
Hope you ll reach 1million subscribers You deserve them Your approach to people rich or poor is what strike me the most Intelligent intuitive and respectful He s a real vlog traveller Greetings from 🇮🇹 Italy
@@ThePathOfEudaimonia Actually, I think the fisherman made a joke (there is a similar joke in my culture when a person try to joke away from the fact that he failed to catch any fish), but Sabbatical didn't get it and took it serious and the whole dialog suddenly became kinda stupid :)
That was my thought too but I'll be spending some of my time in ilala in a place called Kigezi and my whole mission is the way to the rural Moshi in Kilimanjaro.
That restaurant is beautiful, Tanzanians are naturally very conservative people especially when they see foreigners. A lot of people go there and I’m sure if you weren’t so upfront you’d have gotten the chance to film
Swahili is not really super heard to learn it might be hard for Americans and none African Because there are so many country in Africa where Swahili is spoken but if you take time and study seriously you will speak it before you know
Tommy, u got me hooked buddy, i feel like I kno u personally, lol, you're a down to Earth exlporer who loves culture, if i was there i'd be doing same thing, a lot of walking and meeting the people, i subscribed so keep the vids coming bud, thanks, hope to see more soon
Tanzania is so beautiful its amazing the Western media has been brain washing us I'm looking to make my first trip to Tanzania in the near future what I love the most is the people of Africa are wonderful then most people I have met around the world.
Yeah well you try peacefully smoking a joint in the Middle East not bothering anyone at all, then find yourself in prison for rest of your life and have a good think about how ‘cool’ amd tolerant the Middle East is. Or if you have a daughter who Married Middle Eastern man as one of his multiple wives and having to cover herself up or suffer extreme violence at the hands of her husband, and to top it off he could be in his 30s or 40s and she could be a teenager! Yeah it sounds great!!!!
Am an African Australian an watching your video from Brisbane Queensland Australia I ve seen that most of African countries are not developing because of stupid conditions that are being used to develop their countries but corruption is the major issue in African countries everything they discuss it must be about corruption it sucks
The most expensive hotel with a helipad is any private hospital. My daughter used to love being admitted to hospital due to hotel standards customer service. I used to get her admitted anytime she struggled with her breathing.
The sun is killing this dude! Good job making the video! Yes, We aren’t just camera shy but often will ask NOT to be filmed! Why are we so restrictive? Why?
@@SabbaticalTommy Thank you for your videos . I am sure you fully understand the privilege that you have just being you on the assumption people make about you. No fault of your own . It would have been impossible for an African from anywhere in the diaspora to have been allowed to enter the yacht club like you were. In fact, I suspect that if there are any black members they are constantly harassed about whether or not they are supposed to be there and would be required to show proof quite often.
@@korikara9097 And yet somehow it was the black guy with the red and white striped shirt who managed to bluff him in, and seemed to know the place well, so I doubt they are that prejudiced!
@@korikara9097 His "privilege" also allows for him to be charged 10X the price of everything at the market and for goods and services. So it goes both ways. Personally I would rather be kicked out of a rich ass boring yacht club, than get robbed by everyone you meet.
love these videos i just came across the channel loving the vibes im doing vlogging like this around the world for sure looks so fun . travelling aalone is litt
What was that Dutch Sailing Boat doing there. I am from Holland so was funny to see. They even had the Dutch Flag on it with NED/Nederland on it. Love your video's keep up the good work
I am very interested in at least five countries in Africa: Rwanda, Ethiopia, Ghana, Botswana and Tanzania. I'm still researching into affordability, safety (Rwanda is the safest and cleanest country in Africa followed by Botswana) political stability. I believe that the people of Africa are simply wonderful people and a joy to be around and I can't wait to travel the continent.
dude, start wearing sun glasses, you at the equator for crying out loud, then you dont have to put your eyes into that glean mode and neither develop 5 wrinkles in your forehead.
Hey man Im not sure if you check your older vids like in episode 24 in Tanzania you said you need friends ,Well you got one here man ,Just recently found out about your vids , keeps me entertained .Got nothing to do kinda stuck somewhere where I dont wanna be in a bad situation ,so your vids keep me occupied or less bored
At my advanced age, I wonder how easy is it to learn Swahili, my son's name is Swahili. That would be a fun challenge for myself and a useful one too. I must get to Africa! Thanks for the video, I just subscribed.
A very easy language to learn. Lots of low cost online courses. The two of you learning together, or even the whole family, is always the best way for kids to learn. All the best!
@@athmaid Of course I don't mind at all your asking. No, despite my ex-wife wanting to become a linguist, she didn't speak Swahili as she's from Brooklyn NYC. We had two books of African and Arabic names and we found his name in one of those books and loved it so we chose to name him the name that we favoured which is Jelani. Thanks for asking!
my mom works for the german embassy and weve been moving around every 4 years for my whole 16 years of life and the last 11 year have been in africa. we recently thought we would have to stay in germany for the next 4 years but 2 weeks ago we got the notification that we are moving to tanzania. I lived in zimbabwe and south africa before, and especially in zim the people are very nice and have good humor. could you say the same about the tanzanian people? i would like to know just out of interest. thanks
Hello furaha, I passed Iringa when going to Makete about a year and a half ago, you could tell the place is beautiful just from the window. Unfortunately I didn't experience much of it, maybe next time
Tommy thx for the tour. I was always fascinated with Dar. I was there in 1958 Then again in 2018. Compared to South Africa. DAR is calmer than Cape Town. .
Unique…not really, yacht clubs, country clubs whatever, where ever one pays for the party. Not my lifestyle either Tommy but I sure do love a helicopter ride ❤️🌺keep up the good work.
Hey! Yeah I remember. You were originally meant to be part of this video, but I realized afterward that my camera was off when I talked to you 😂 Feel free to send me a message on Instagram
Most expensive hotel?? Street? Uuummmm....we appreciate you showing people around one of the millions of areas in this place i call home...Karibuni Tz!
if you ever go back to morocco, id love to see you visit morocco's richest neighborhoods. perhaps in a city you haven't posted a video about before like marrakech
Hey Tommy, fell in love with your channel in just two days. Fascinated with your ability to navigate any situation. You sound like a NYer. Maybe Boston? Reach out if you are in Newport Beach, CA. Let's go have a drink and share some stories. Dr. B
