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.
I agree wholeheartedly that it's so much more beneficial to learn not only Kiswahili but foreign languages in general, especially with people you have constant contact with. My eyes almost popped out to learn there are 120 tribes in Tanzania and, therefore, 120 languages. I guess many are probably dialects of one or the other main stream indigenous languages. In Namibia, my country, we have about 11 languages, including those inherited from Europe such as English (our official language), Afrikaans (a form of Dutch and the lingua franca), German, French, Portuguese and to a lesser extent Italian. There is a healthy diversity of languages, some as old as humans themselves in particular the click sounding languages from the San nation, who lived in southern Africa before we all arrived here afterwards. Thank you for your comment about the importance of reciprocating the gesture of Tanzanians who speak English and it is now up to us to learn Kiswahili. God bless.🙏❣️
Nostalgia ! Brought back the golden moments that happened in Tanzania during my fairly long stay there with every moment worth a treasure. Africa is a lovely continent with friendly people blessed by the beauty of nature. Have travelled extensively in Africa, and enjoyed all, but loved Tanzania most. Asante Sana Tanzania !
@@cludianobre I was there for a number of years on international assignments and mostly in Tanzania, a beautiful country with nice people. Since it is South of Equator it will be summer when winter is in the north. The Best months would be June to August, but you prefer warm /hot climate then November to February. Theft is very common, but you need to be little watchful. Useful phrase will be 'Asante Sana = ( Thank you very much ) or 'Habari Gani ' ( means ; How are you ? ) Reply will be ' Nzuri' N has very soft pronunciation. more nasal. Have a great trip, and do not forget to visit the city of Moshi to see Mt. Kilimanjaro in full glory. Good Luck and Best Wishes : Safari Salama " ( Safe and happy journey )
Mine too ! I stayed most in Moshi, but for a few months in Bukoba, Mwanza, Dodoma and, of course, Dar es Salaam as well. Tanzania was the best country for me, and I still miss it. "Nina Penda Tanzania."
My aunt and uncle have lived in Tanzania for around 15 years now. They are christian missionaries and have their own church! I'd love to go out for a visit sometime.
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!
@@phoenixclaw456 it looks beautiful there and from what I've learned from others who live there they are really happy. Their only complaints is being overcharged all the time and having to negotiate prices. I'm planning to visit East and West Africa in 2024 to decide if I want to make it my new home! I'm excited about it and I do believe there are some good people there as well as in the US.
I really want to say as a South African i lived in Dar es Salaam for almost five years traveled a lot to DRC, Kenya and Burundi from there, but Tanzania is by far has the most friendly people and beautiful landscape...i would go back there any day. Please visit it if you can.
Beautiful and well thought out video♥️. Loved how you broke it down bit by bit. I now wanna plan a trip n take a mini vacation. Might put this on my bucket list!
You will never regret going it is a lovely country with very friendly people. I was extremely privileged to have lived in Dar es Salaam for almost five years. As a South African, I will always sing their praises.
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!
Watch out for animals feeding from open to the wild buffets. My lodge restaurant was with a view of the river (hippos or crocs), thatched roofs, and no walls. One monkey mother stole the sugar server (for tea and coffee). A milk/cottage cheese dish was visited from above by a civet. In both cases the food was resurfaced so you wouldn’t know an animal ate out of it. If I went again, I’d bring my own sugar and avoid dairy.
Tanzania should be your first choice. I promise you , you will NEVER regret it. As a South African I lived in Dar es Salaam for almost five years. Very friendly people and beautiful country. Visit Kigoma if you can.
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?
There are many historical places to visit, spice gardens (you will be able to know varieties of spices and from which plants they come from, tortoes island, culture, etc.
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.
Just be aware that Mozambique the country to the south of Tanzania is experiencing an active and escalating Islamic State-linked insurgency in the country’s north. Just in the last month the French company Total suspended a multibillion-dollar investment operation because of this. Critical Threats is waring, "insurgency in Mozambique may spill into the country’s larger neighbor, Tanzania, risking broader destabilization and the expansion of the Salafi-jihadi threat in East Africa. Salafi-jihadi insurgents based in Mozambique executed six villagers in a Tanzanian border village on November 13."
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.😭
I traveled to the African Court of Human and Peoples Right sin Arusha,Tanzania to work for the African Charter of Human and Peoples Rights and hte Maputo Protocol on the rights of women African Youth Charter African DIsability protocol I can speak the four AU languages Arabic English French and Portuguese
If you wait on Covid you want never go anywhere! I traveled to Tanzania on Saturday February 6th solo traveler from America beautiful country beautiful people lots of fresh fruits and vegetables! Was there for one month will be returning in July! Back then there were no Covid tests to enter Tanzania now you have to have a negative Covid test to enter! Get out and start your adventures!😉😉😉
This video about a safari in Tanzania may have been made in 2019. Other Wolters World videos which have some similar advice and footage are from a pre-pandemic family trip.
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. 💪🏿
Karibuni Afrika, Karibuni Tanzania.
Said that in Swahili, Welcome Africa, Welcome Tanzania.
Proud to be Tanzanian.❤️

What area are they located ... I do ministry there too I would love to meet them
They have their own church? ok great, I'll build one there myself.
Wonderful. Thank you for all the information
I have been closely eyeing the Kilimanjaro trek for a while now. Tanzania seems like a beautiful place.
It really is beautiful
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!

Fun fact: Tanzania was a German colony before it was British. Germany lost it at the end of World War I.
You must be won of dem smart peeple eye here about. Now evry won noes how smart you are.
@@carncats07 I never said I was smart. I just wanted to share an interesting fact. There’s no need for you to be rude.
Almost similar colonial history as the former Deutsch Südwest Afrika, now Namibia.
@@ferdinandtjombe6016 Precisely
People can be very stupid. Thank you for the information
Thanks for the info!
Did y'all go to Zanzibar while y'all were there?

Thank you for the video.
How is the public transport?
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).

thanks for the video. by the way, Dar Es Salaam is NOT the capital, Dodoma is.
Great video
I will pass on ever experiencing this
Do they make us get any vaccines to visit? Mandatory?
I love your videos
The best time in the year to go there is..?

The food in Zanzibar is very good

Thanks for the info but you’re talking too fast
