    Kenya and Tanzania
    The two most stereotypical African countries. Thanks, The Lion King. The two countries are among the most populous countries in Africa.
    Kenyans and Tanzanians have a special bond. They’re like brothers. Kenyans often travel to and even move to Tanzania. Tanzanians often travel to and even move to Kenya. Often when outsiders think of the entire continent of Africa, images of Kenya and Tanzania first come to mind. They are the gateways to the continent, and they both have a bright future.

    Hi, I'm a Tanzanian-American, I wasnt expecting to see this! Loved the video, everything was pretty accurate. Your pronunciation of certain things made me laugh though haha.
    Also, about the pronunciation of Tanzania, the correct pronunciation is tan-za-NEE-a, with the a's pronounced like the a in "bar".
    You are correct that foreigners often say it like tan-ZAY-nee-a or tan-ZA-nee-a. The correct pronunciation comes from the fact that the emphasis on a word in Swahili always falls on the second to last vowel :)

Some of the Zanzibaris I noticed when I conversed with them during my visit in Stone Town, consider themselves as Zanzibaris' not Tanzanians due to political reasons. Even their elections I believe are done independently. All in all it's a cool place I could go back again.

I just want to congratulate you as your channel is indeed growing exceptionally fast and say that you totally deserve it. I would like to leave a suggestion, though it probably is not the best option in terms of view potential, but it is Cyprus vs. Greece. Thanks a lot 🙏

      ​@@iammrbeatNo, Greece goes with Macedonia, Cyprus goes with Malta. Unless you want to compare Northern Cyprus vs southern Cyprus, otherwise Cyprus isn't the parallel country to Greece. At the very most, it's Greece VS Turkey, two great empires long gone, but still at odds dueling it out to this day, dividing Cyprus in two.

      @oslonorway547 I do believe that Cyprus is indeed the best match for Greece for such a video. They are the only 2 officially Greek speaking countries with predominantly Greek nationality and Greek Orthodox faith. Not to mention the shared history going back thousands of years. The two countries have almost identical cultures and share almost the same traditions and national holidays. There were even multiple attempts for reunification of Cyprus with Greece in the past.

      @@Fluffychoupikkos Can't compare placed that are eerily similar to each other. This series chooses two places which have always been each other's competitor - whether openly or unacknowledged. Greece and Turkey have been at conflict for almost 1000 years now, and they continue to antagonize each other. If you wanted to go far back into history, it would be Greece VS Macedonia. But in modern day, it's Greece VS Turkey.

    Theres also a joke that Swahili was born in Tanzania (Zanzibar is considered to have the purest Swahili) got sick in Kenya and died in Congo.

      The oldest kiswahili dialects with minimal arabic loan words are actually found in the Kenyan coast especially in Lamu. IMO this is the purest kiswahili. Kiunguja from Zanzibar has so many arabic loan words that it is not in competition when we talk about purity.
      That being said once you leave the Kenyan coast and go inland. Kiswahili then gets sick

It's fascinating to see the similarities and differences between these neighboring nations, from their wildlife and natural wonders to their diverse cultures and traditions.

We been told our neighbours is our family and we should love and respect them as we do to our own ethnic groups and religious groups here in Tanzania. So I Wao see why always Kenya u have this attitude of seeing as a rival or beefing with u or who greater than. Ask any Tanzanians will tell u we see u as Majirani and ndugu. Plus we never proud to speak English as we are a Swahili Nation but u forced as to responds to all bullying comments and remarks everywhere we go, ur creating a problem that Tanzanians never has we with you people. We boarders with 12 countries but they don’t do this kinder …. Like u jamani tunaanza kuwachoka and will be a real hate between us unsteady of brothers . Embrace peace not hate ndugu. See our differences as opportunities to our people and the homeland to be proud off and not who greater then who ? Remember this no Tanzanians no Kenya we are feeding u people, u have industry but all materials are coming from this side, ur Tourism sector’s sale more Tanzania 🇹🇿 parks and u get the economy grow .
