Stopped By The Ugandan Military! (#50) 

Forget Nat Geo, this guy's channel has me hooked. Its 4 am I should be sleeping. Subbed and binge-watching..

Love ur blogs...so natural..no unwanted music...edited footages and all... great...best wishes

Uganda is a beautiful country with hospitable people.

That solider was smooth as hell trying to get her number though lol

Dang that's bold to film military guys in a military barracks. Absolutely crazy. Be careful.

a lot of "okutambula " (luganda for walking) in the video I like your type of tourism... speaking to people and trying to learn the culture and language! instead of doing what other foreigners do, just go to game park & beaches and ignoring the local people! Tommy, you single-handedly are building and promoting African culture & language You are doing more than even other African youtubers in this regard. Thank you! from Henry in Dsm,TZ.

I'm 25 and was born in Uganda but haven't been back in 17 years. Seeing your video helps me remember how kind hearted my people are in this cold world ❤️ I'll be going back to visit next summer for a family reunion God willing 🙏 btw you speak better Luganda than me. I'm impressed

Swahili is the language of the military 🪖 in East & Central Africa. The part on the river where the guy was speaking incoherent, he was saying in parable all the water 🌊 gathers together from everywhere to form back that river.

The soldier tried haha I would have too. She's delightful.

You're putting all of us non-linguist travelers to shame - and that's a good thing! BTW, the US and UK Embassies can't help you if you run into military issues. I found out the hard way when accidentally crossing a border without all the right paperwork. (Not in Uganda.)

Africans have beautiful souls. They embrace the whites with love and never think twice… Amazing!

Totally diggin your walkabout. Have a general plan and then just go with the flow of whatever comes up and meet people along the way.

I like the way you are good at getting along with people

I liked your response when they said that was a Bar... 😄, looking forward to the video when you got back there... 😎

That lady guide is Sweet hearted and beautiful.

I’m gonna start asking people for money at the end of every conversation from now on 😂 I feel I should be compensated for these verbal interactions lol

Love the videos with you and Miss Josey together. Stay safe my friend. God bless you 🙏

You have a lot of courage to travel on foot alone. I give you props !!!!

So we all have a crush on his tour guide right? Total babe

Love your videos... Great to see other cultures and backgrounds.. Makes me wanna travel never traveled before..

You are deep in the countryside! I am waiting for the continuation.

nice video. ..you are very coooool. keep the spirit

It's joy to watch your videos as its shot with courage. Watching from India.

Ohhhhh my God ur in my home place kanyamwirima Bundibugyo district dats great watching from Kampala

Being from nyc also... this has to be the most peaceful encounter I've ever seen with military...you have a way with everyone you meet to have the most wonderful experiences.

Good clip, Tommy! Looks like the man in the green shirt was trying to say that most of the French speaking African countries don't speak Kiswahili. He would be correct in saying so. But I would agree with him fully as well if he indeed meant to say that Kiswahili isn't widely spoken in France. That's very enlightening. Would have never guessed!! 😂

Brother, you are waaaaaay out there.

this is so good: I want more!!!

Love the soldiers so professional

Come back to Tanzania! Our organization would love to welcome you, we are doing a lot to keep families together and return kids home from orphanages, as well as providing residential care for last resort cases. Our amazing tour guide Reuben is literally writing the book on different tribes in Tanzania, particularly the Meru, and can literally talk for hours about the tribes, the flora and fauna, the history, coffee, or just his country in general. It's an amazing place.

Nice video showing us some parts of Uganda

Maximum respect to how you absorb and catalogue languages

Enjoy Uganda, brother

So beautiful 😍💖

What a cliffhanger at the end - I hope this will be continued =)

That's nice Jose and Tommy, waiting up for more videos

I would really love for you to visit Senegal. I haven't been there (yet) and would really love to see that country through your pov.

Thank you for reporting .

Mr Tommy enjoying Uganda because is land of happiness people pearl of on top 🤸🤸🤸🤸🤸🤸

Love your vlogs be safe ✌😂

Tommy, I started watching you when those crazy Friends bus staff stole your stuff . You're interesting and the fact that you quickly learn local dialects is awesomely good. Welcome to Kenya.

Greetings from Western Australia. I wish I could travel and meet all those people like that. Your girlfriend is lovely. I love your vids.

Empako yange Atwooki Dd I just hear rutooro Woaw ! Wish you the best

Been wanting to go to Africa some day. These videos are helpful

Swahili was used during the bush war. Ugandans don't speak swahili because for the longest time it was associated with brutality. So, Ugandans did not embrace it. It remained with soldiers.

Loved that bench and that tree .. 😍

6:50 Ahhh! That's how you met your brilliant tour guide to the mountain!

Deine Reisen sind interessant, mein Freund. Ich bin seit Tagen in deine Videos eingebunden. I live in USA. Cool to see you speaking the "cool" languages.

This place is heavenly for real.

The people from Africa I've met here in the US, are always smiling. They always seem happy.

She is real pretty

🙆🏾‍♀️🙆🏾‍♀️🙆🏾‍♀️🙆🏾‍♀️When did you reach Bundibunjo when you were in Fort portal... Recently UGANDA HAS 56TRIBES WITH DIFFERENT LANGUAGES

Nice walkabout, that girl is very cute 🥰

I now understand why Ugandans aren't receptive of Swahili. They say it's a military language (at least in Uganda).

Man as a Ugandan fun of yours I really enjoy seeing u home.

Can someone PLEASE explain me how sabbatical met Josey for the first time? Like ive watched the #49 and she was.. kinda there Sabatical was like; hello WE are gonna go to X lake. Sabatical never told us Who she was and how he met her like tf...

That was suspenseful. Tommy you have too much courage. lol

Thank you so much for taking us along your journeys!

This makes me want to go to Africa and find her beautiful Uganda wife. The people there are so polite.

I was scared of these guys, nice video Sabbatical

This is amazing ❤️❤️❤️

This guy makes me braver to travel to these places. Thanks Sabbatical!

Be safe out there.

This is my favourite video of yours! Good vibes and good people. Very respectful soldiers too! Luckily you weren't harassed for recording near the barracks.

People are very friendly although it might be different if one was arrogant and unfriendly with them.

Middle of no where. Waiting for part 2

Much love from Tanzania,

Wow didn’t know there’s so many languages in each African country

Tommy u so polite am loving the way u keep greeting gyebaleko!the guy at the river jus got me worried hope he didnt ve covid symptoms 😳 keep safe Tommy mask up

Fascinating!

I really like the way they talk. I really wanna travel to Africa I don’t care which country in Africa but I’m gonna take a trip there for sure Gods willing.

You’re a brave man. Love it ! Be safe.

I really love your videos. Karibu Kenya I will be your guide.

Love this ♥️♥️👌

This guy is too good with his dialects.... En a quick learner too.. M inspired

Where can i see how u met her?

Guide : " that's the bar " Sabbatica : " ok , we'll come back later ". 🍺 + 🥃 = 💤

Very nice area

Nice vlog 😎

@Sabbatical from 11:15 your translation was OK but with a small mistake. When you asked him if there were more swahili speakers you used the word "HAPA" and from his answer, you mistook "HAPA" to (Hapana). What he answered was " Hapa Ni wengi tu) He confirmed your question, first with a sound" ehh hapaniwengitu.. I think your innocence and the non threatening appearance is allowing many locals to embrace as their own, and my sincere advice is "Please always go somewhere/anywhere but, with a trusted local guide and a friend.. Filming Soldiers outside a Barrack in Africa!!!??? 😳😳😳LIKE A B😎SS.. 👊🙌🙌

Ao Soja wataratibu sana

At last you are in western Uganda , wow

Am shocked how you cought up to my language in just a few days 👍

Awesome videos!

Your companion Josie is lovely!

Tommy does it again! Great video! 4:52 African beauty - the UG women are very attractive! I also want her number! Tommy, whatever you are paying the side kick,it is not enough, she really make your video very interesting!(esp. for men) UG soldiers speak swahili because in 1978,TZ soldiers invaded UG to remove Idd Amini... The TZ soldiers stayed behind to train and build the new UG army. Also because President Museveni was in exile in TZ and got support from former TZ president Nyerere, so he promoted swahili to unify the Army.

The man was right, in some parts of France the speak Swahili (Mayotte).

So I'm coming south on Thailand Highway 107. I pass a couple of slow moving vehicles but a high speed car coming the other direction makes me accelerate and when I do, my helmet visor blows up and hits my GoPro. Around the next curve is the Chiang Dao Inspection Station, as I pulled in, I reached up to see if the GoPro was OK. When I did, a Thai Inspector Captain flagged me to the inspection lane. He came over and asked what I had in my carry-on luggage behind me on the motorcycle, I replied cameras. He pointed at the GoPro I had on my helmet and said that is a camera, too. I agreed and he said I want it. Now these inspectors deal with smugglers and have machine guns, this was south of the Golden Triangle. I wasn't sure if he wanted my GoPro or just wanted one in the future so I told him, You can't have mine because I am photographer but I will trade you my motorcycle for that very attractive female inspector. He burst out laughing, he translated for the rest of the inspectors, they burst out laughing, and several of them came over and patted me on the back before I rolled out. A smile and a good attitude work wonders.

Tommy did you pass through Masaka to get where you are? Masaka is my birthplace. Wish you had filmed your road journey from Kampala onwards. Would have liked to see that. Very abrupt ending. waiting for next episode. It will be nice if you can film to show us continuous journeys instead of starting from where you did in the middle of nowhere. The young guy leading you seems smart and honest.

Sorry to hear about miss Ugandas brother and father.I take it that covid got them so sad. I see she has her own u tube. God bless them all🙏

To say hello in Luteso, you say "Yoga"

Another gorgeous girl

How do You get to learn languages easily?

at 8:00 she says "we are sloping from down" it means we are going down hill

Waiting for you to go back to the bar 😂😂😂 , ki Uganda kinyuma

Man you must be very healthy and in good shape I’d be so worried of falling ill or getting injured out there. Then again I’m a little older than you.

Thanks!

I like lady's accent, she's vibrant too

dude you and kurt are cool dudes man both amazing videos

When did you go to the western part of Uganda?
