  1. I've wanted to go to Tanzania ever since I learned that they have Kilimanjaro, the Serengeti, and Zanzibar all in the one country! (And they also speak Swahili, which I've dabbled in).
    Is it reasonable to do all 3 in, say, a week? Like do the safari and Kilimanjaro (not climbing the whole thing, just a day at the base) and save the beach at Zanzibar for the end? What would be the best route from the mountain to the island?

  2. Pole can mean "sorry" as well. Duolingo can help beginners with swahili, however, it is obvious that one cant get advamced level without actually speaking to people. Forget rh AI bots. Theyre still in experimental stages no matter ehat the media tries to scare you with. Speak. To
    People, but dont discount duolingo@ great resource to start.

  3. It still amazes me how "white" americans come to other countries as tourist, especially countries disproportionately affected by their ancestors and purposely capitalize on the high conversion rate to live much more comfortably than the locals while visiting and then choose not to tip well, like you would tip your waiter in the U.S. That money for them would have a major life changing impact… even if it's just one person during your entire stay. Why not help offset the unofficial sanctions imposed by your countries and the stolen wealth as africans countries are are still paying reparations to various countries for the money lost in free labor from their enslavement and colonialism. Why not make a video showing us how you impacted someones life there while the U.S currency still affords you the privilege of a life changing exchange rate.

    Peace, Love and Blessings. Look forward to new socially and economically uplifting content. 💪🏿

  4. Dear Wolter, you are great and you speak about really useful information. But for foreigners who follow you , you speak so fast 🙂 Any way thank you so much! Great video with love and good energy!

  5.

  6. The Maasai practice female genital mutilation on young girls usually between 11-13 years old, but sometimes even younger. It is believed that the removal of a girls genitals will ensure she stays faithful to her husband, whom she usually shares with multiple other wives as they are a polygamous society. FGM often results in severe medical complications at the time of the procedure and for the rest of the girl’s life. After being cut, Maasai girls are forced into arranged marriages in exchange for cattle or cash. It is unlikely they will continue their education once this happens as they have many responsibilities, chores and children.

    I visited a Maasai Boma (village) recently while I was on a safari in Tanzania. I was interested in their way of life and how the culture had survived almost unchanged for this long. While there I noticed some women had scars across their cheeks. I found out after I left that these were cuts they had received as a baby. When a baby cried too much, they would cut their face, salty tears would sting when they ran into the cuts and “teach” the baby not to cry. After hearing this devastating reason for the scars, I decided to research a bit into what else was going on in the Maasai culture that wasn’t being shown to the tourists. It was then that I found out about the widespread practice of FGM in their society. I felt so upset that I hadn’t know about this ahead of time. Knowing this, I personally wouldn’t have chosen to visit their village or make a donation. Whether you decide to visit a Maasai village or not, at least you can choose having the full information.

  7. Thanks for making this video! What a great way for me to experience Tanzania vicariously until I can make the trip someday! I really want to go to the Ngorongoro crater!

  8. I imagine you can just travel back to the U.S. when you want since you have an U.S. passport? I'm from the netherlands and i'll be working at a summercamp in the U.S. but there is still a travel ban from europe to the states…. i really hope biden removes the ban soon because i want to be there the 18th of june.😭

  9. Very helpful information; Tanzanian's, as is the case with all Africans, are very talented with speaking 2 or more languages. The official language of Tanzania is Kiswahili; it is spoken in government, schools, media and business…it is so accommodating of the Tanzanians to take the time to learn English. We should learn alot more Kiswahili; it is a beautiful language.
