タンザニア8日間：一生に一度の低予算アドベンチャー
Welcome to… Tanzania! We just crossed the border, and this country is like going back to India. With all Tuk-Tuks and so many people. If this is a village, it’s crazy. Tanzania! Welcome to our nest for eight hours. In this box, we have a TV that we cannot steal, a corner sink, and we have a hole. Awesome. But it costs four euros only. Yes, it’s better then waiting on the street. The night on the bus was terrible. Yeah, bad, bad, bad, bad. How can you put speed bumps on a perfectly fine road every 200 meters? Why? But now, we’re in the capital, Dodoma. And we will see what to see here. There are 60 million people in Tanzania, and this is… *sneeze* Bless you! …not church. It’s a mosque here behind me. Only one third of them are Muslims, and two thirds are Christian. And we are in Tanzania at the beginning of Ramadan. But we see that people are eating. Tanzania is very unique because it’s the most ethnolinguistically diverse country in all Africa. People seem nice. Only half of them have access to clean water and electricity. Even in a hotel, it’s a little bit of a problem. But so far, I think it’s fine. Thank you so much. You have very nice henna. Thank you. What’s this for? Is it for a celebration? No. Just for beauty. Yeah. It’s very nice. Thank you. Tanzania has a very interesting rule when you cross the border into Tanzania. You cannot bring any plastic bags. They started this ban in 2019 to protect nature. But it’s still happening. They’re trying. Dodoma is the political and administrative capital of Tanzania while Dar es Salaam remains the economic hub and the largest city in the country. This is the average walking speed of Africa. Okay, who’s this guy? Government authority… Mr. Fredrick… The population here is around half a million. The locals are friendly, they don’t speak English, but they whistle, clap, and greet the one “white” person in town “Mzungu! Mzungu!” These berries are sold everywhere. Is this edible? Can I eat it? Yes. You can eat. From the tree. Yeah. Are you sure? Yes, sure. Maybe I die. No, no, no. In Swahili, we call it Zabibu. Yeah, Zambalau (Jambolana). Zambalau. Yes. Where are you from? Latvia. Latvia. Yeah. Okay. You’re welcome. Thank you. Dodoma. Dodoma wine. How much is this? 3000. One Euro. You usually don’t wake up well rested after wines like this. Next, we go to Arusha – a bustling city in northern Tanzania, often called the safari capital of East Africa because of its proximity to famous national parks and Mount Kilimanjaro. One of the largest art galleries in Africa. This guy’s dead. First we visit a famous cultural center, which turns out to be one of the largest art galleries in all of Africa! 1,500 artists have exhibited their works here. The gallery is free to visit. How much is this hotel? 10 USD. Are you happy? Yeah. No Artur, it’s so big. Kill… Take a slipper. Will you kill it? Take a slipper. Artur… You have done it before. Please come here! We don`t even manage to walk for 5 minutes as we are approached by a local artist selling paintings. …I know you’re not buying today. You’re my brother and sister from another mother. Yes, we are same people. We’re different colour, but the same people. When you look like this, you can get the picture. When you look from far away you can see more details. 10 USD is not expensive. For one painting it is expensive. He is so convincing that we buy a few. Because it’s on canvas, it can not be damaged. Later on, a friend of ours shows us where to buy Maasai shoes like his. The Maasai are semi-nomadic pastoralists. Cattle are their main source of wealth, providing milk, blood, and sometimes meat. They have their own language – Maa, so we communicate with them mostly through hand gestures. …we need to think about it, but they’re really beautiful. Can we think about this, and come back later for these ones, okay? Thank you so much. After sleeping and thinking about the offer to buy the traditional Maasai shoes, we decide to find the ones that most of Maasai people are wearing. They were very colourful. Yeah, like this, yeah. The random man on the street notices that we’re looking for something and offers to help. Yeah, not like this one. He will show you the way. Thank you. Where are you from? From Europe. Here they are. Like this. These handmade shoes called akala are made from recycled tires. The tire rubber makes these shoes last a lifetime. This is too small. They can make it big. We’re trying to get Maasai tire sandals, like these ones. Yeah. I want them, too. Supposedly, these shoes have a lifespan of a human. How much to make them bigger? He told me 60’000 TZS. So, it’s 6’000 TZS. Yeah. So one shoe, 3’000 TZS. Yes. Just got these two shoes adjusted to my size. The thick rubber soles protect against thorns, sharp stones, and hot ground. Can I walk around a bit? And a simple strap design makes them easy to adjust. Yeah, it’s comfortable. Yeah, this is much better. 30 and 2, right? 30’000 TZS are the shoes. Yes. And… She already paid for the adjustment. How much? 2’000 TZS. She paid 2’000 TZS? Yes. Yeah, so I give her back 2’000 TZS. It’s okay now. Thank you so much. Hi! Hi, hi! Hi! Okay, I’m here to give you a good car. Madam… Not going there… No problem. I’m normally walking around here. I’ll give you a good travel deal, but we don’t need it… Are you going to Moshi? No. We don’t need to go to Moshi. We have been there. Don’t worry about me walking here. I have a good price to go to Moshi. We don’t need to go to Moshi. Listen carefully! You’re not listening. Hello! Where are you going? Rwanda? Come, let’s chat right there. Come to the office. How much is to get to Mwanza? Mwanza is 55’000 TZS per person. How do you think? If we go to Mwanza, can we get from there to Kigali? No, from Mwanza can’t. If you want to get to Kigali, you can go to Kahama. Then there’s a border there. Rusumo. Rusumo border. Four days? After four days. After today? After four days. No problem. Then we’ll see you later. Okay. Thank you. Today, we’re off to Napuru Waterfall, which is a two-hour hike up the mountain. This is our warm-up for tomorrow’s Kilimanjaro hike. We’re going to Napuru Waterfalls near Arusha. Not very difficult. Just the road is dusty. Hey! Hello! When we arrive, we’re surprised to find not only a $10 entrance fee but also a mandatory guide fee. Arturs checks the regulations at the info center and discovers that the guide is optional. …there’s no other option for me. So we are here at the waterfalls, and we don’t need a guide, but they are telling us to have a guide. because this is Africa. Always, in every place, they are telling you that the guide is mandatory. Even if it’s a baby trail. You have to be stupid to get lost, right? We met a friend and he will sit here until they let him through. That’s awesome, but I understand if all three of us want to do that, they will not let all of us go. So he will stay alone until they let him through. Excuse me, sir. Excuse me, sir. You brought the group here, right? I think they’re going to give them to one of the local guides here. Is it mandatory to have the local guide? Yeah, according to the regulation of this site, everyone that are coming for the first time must have a guide. You have told them that you want to go alone? Yeah, we want to go alone. I know there will be a footpath to the waterfall. Maybe you can give just a little bit of money? Yeah. Then you go with them until somewhere and you tell them, “we can do it ourselves from here on”. It was nice to meet you. I’m Isaac by the way. Arturs. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, too. There’s a viewpoint. There it is. Napuru waterfall trail. So this is the trail, and it goes directly to the waterfall. And we are not allowed to go without a guide. There is a trail. You cannot get lost. Yeah, yeah, don’t worry. We just wanted to make sure that there is a trail. We team up with our new friend. We didn’t agree on anything, but they had a good offer to split one guide among three of us. We spent two hours debating to learn a valuable lesson for future travels. In the end, one simple sentence resolves everything. “Don’t give us tickets!” and things are sorted out quickly. Thank you very much. Took us two hours of negotiations and we got in. If you tell them that they can keep money for their community, and you don’t take the tickets, they allow you to enter. After an hour of walk, we realize that for first timers in Africa, it’s probably better to have a guide. No, the paths aren’t that confusing as they’re marked, but you have to go through the Meru Mountain Forest Reserve and get down steep cliffs to reach the park’s crowning feature, the 75 meter tall waterfall. Needless to say, it’s beautiful. Finished! How was it? *exhale* It was beautiful, but the way back… it’s a little bit steep, challenging. Good warm-up before Kilimanjaro. It’ll be a little bit crazy tomorrow. This one’s better. Thank you so much. Take care. Yes, of course. I’ll come. Because I think next month I will be in France. Next month? Yeah. Okay, that’s too early. Yeah. All the best. But I’m always going to Europe. All this market is preparing for Women’s Day. And… we just missed the picture. I will show you later. Tanzania’s president is a female. First one in history, and she’s one of the rare female leaders in Africa. And she’s promoting eight of March – Women’s Day. It’s so cool. We have a chance to weigh ourselves. I was 110 KG. And now I’m… I dropped to 100 at some point, and now I gained back five. Well, it comes and goes, doesn’t it? Now we reach Kilimanjaro, a freestanding volcanic mountain, which, unlike many other high peaks, is not part of a mountain range. Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in all of Africa. 5’895 meters above the sea. Akuna Matata. Kili! Do you have a hiking song? Yes. Which is your hiking song? Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Now it films you. It films her. It films us. From the sky. From the ground. Everything. This one is our first stop. It’s supposed to be the halfway. We did it in less than one hour, which is weird, because it’s supposed to be two to three hours. And they said it’s the end of the high season. That’s why this camp is empty. Usually it’s full. And there you can see the highest peak in Kilimanjaro. There are three peaks, and this all is UNESCO protecteded area. And 50,000 people climb this mountain a year. So this is one of the top tourist destinations in Tanzania. So we also had to do it. But we’re just looking at it. Not climbing. The rains stop in July, and then, until November, it’s the perfect time for trekking. Kilimanjaro climb and the Serengeti migration are all happening at once. However, the weather has been changing recently, and the winter rains that should have started in December didn’t arrive until January. So one more with me. As we’re told, this one is an alpine desert, and the plants here, they’re everlasting. So this is what you see forever and always here. It’s a different scenery than before. That was rocky, this is grassy. Hello, jambo, jambo. Oops… I think it was old because the horns are big. Is it from here? Yeah, it’s from here. From the northern side of the mountain, which is close to Amboseli National Park. Nice. How is it? Good, beautiful. Easy peasy? This is a dormant volcano, I think I told you that. And this is one of the most easily accessible high mountains in the world. So it’s not even very hard to hike for 8 – 10 days, if you’re acclimatizing. It’s fine. And you have porters. It costs $1,450 per person. Bye-bye, Tyson. Okay, finish line. We made it! Yay! Yay! Good job. So we’re having lunch here. Then so many pictures. After pictures, video, then go down. We have completed this trek. We’re going back from the one day hike, Shira route on Mount Kilimanjaro. It took us three hours. It is supposed to be like three to four hours, I think. It’s a little pricey. The normal price is $250 per person. We got it for $220. Is it worth the price? I would say that it is what it is, right? It’s one of the wonders of Africa. It’s one of the wonders of Africa.
But the guide said that every day is like this, the clouds start to form at around 11 o’clock. So you shouldn’t start at nine like most of the companies do. You should start earlier when it’s barely light outside. Maybe seven, and then, I think, it would be very awesome. But almost all the companies are the same. And they say you cannot go without a guide. And I think the guide also plays a very crucial role in this, filling in all the silence with useful and interesting information. Unfortunately, we had to interrogate our guide to get information out of him. Where we are, history, the names, etc. “Kilima” in Swahili language means “a mountain”, and “jaro” is a name from a different tribe that lives here. So nobody knows what’s the real meaning. Mount Meru is “Kilima Meru” or “the mountain of the Meru people” that live there. Oh, oh, oh, oh, you need to drive also. Hello. So two people, eight porters? In the major Kilimanjaro tracks, each climber is accompanied by a guide, four to five porters, and a cook. If you’re trekking as a couple, there will be about nine porters carrying tents, chairs, even tables… everything! The Chemka hot springs, also known as Kikuletwa, are a natural geothermal oasis, famous for its crystal-clear waters surrounded by jungle. Hundreds… I don’t like them. The hot springs are not really hot but rather warm, and when you step in, “pedicure fish” immediately swim up to your feet, gently nibbling away the dead skin. The entrance is three euros, and we have to sign in here. We’re the first ones today, but yesterday, tourists were here from China, Norway, and other countries. At 10 a.m., the locals wake up, swinging over the pools on a rope, and then German tourists arrive. This is the time for us to head back. And this is our hotel. That is Victoria Lake. It’s not that expensive. It’s nice. Awesome. This is Lake Victoria, the biggest tropical lake in the world and the third-largest freshwater lake by area. Tanzania has a lot of interesting, beautiful sites. Some of them are UNECO World Heritage Sites. We already went to Kilimanjaro Mountain. There’s Ngorongoro National Park in Serangeti. The biggest animal migration in the world. Not the season for that. But here we can see a miracle that’s not so expensive as others. So, what to see if you come to Tanzania? Of course, it’s Zanzibar. Everybody goes there. It’s a semi-autonous region. They do their own thing. We haven’t been there. We heard it’s very touristy, so we skipped. Of course, Serengeti Park. Lion King is inspired from Tanzania and that park. Ngorongoro crater, which is world’s largest inactive, intact, unfilled volcanic caldera. Lake Tanganyika. I’m not sure if I’m pronouncing it correctly. It’s the second deepest in the world, deepest lake in Africa. Lake Natron. It’s an alkaline lake. One of the most dangerous in the world. So if you’re unlucky by that lake, you can burn! Tanzania is good for seeing nature because 30% to 40% of all the area is dedicated to parks, conservation areas and reserves. 20% of all animal species that live in Africa can be found in Tanzania. And they have the largest lion population. So you won’t get bored. Just save some more money because it’s touristy and more expensive. What are you looking at? And of course, we can even touch Lake Victoria. It’s the largest lake in Africa with an area of more than 68,000 square kilometers. Yep, bigger than our country. I’m sexy and I know it. Right? Yes. Lake Victoria. It’s shared by Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya. But Tanzania holds the largest portion of the lake. The lake has several islands, including Ukereve, which is the largest inland island in Africa. A street fight. It happens everywhere. Mwanza is one of the best places to explore Lake Victoria. It is also often called the City of Stones, due to unique rocky landscape. Then they sweep all of it into a pile and pack it into sacks. 6:49 we’re boarding the ferry to…? Bus. We’re boarding a ferry to the bus. To Burundi. That’s how we’ll remember Tanzania. 50/50. You can meet amazing people who want to show you their land from the heart. And then, of course, you meet those who are already tired of tourists, and those who relentlessly want to get their hands on the money of a visitor. In this land, you can definitely feel that the locals know tourists, and there’s so much beauty to see. I’m Arturs. Nice to meet you. Okay. Although the tourist hotspots have hefty fees, everything not related to tours is much more affordable. Meals under a euro, lots of hotels, and even the cheapest ones are clean and well-kept. There’s a fairly developed transport system, although the roads are tricky and full of speed bumps. Would we return to Tanzania? Why not! If we would, we would definitely travel along the Eastern coast and try to reach Serengeti during the great migration. Would we recommend it to you? Sure—it’s a good first step into Africa: understandable and relatively safe. Thank you, Tanzania! And this room, 25’000 on the border with Burundi. It looks nice. It even looks good.
Tanzania? The truth about spending 8 days in this East African giant is something you might think you’ve already heard: beautiful, charming, amazing, unforgettable. But the reality is more layered than the usual travel-brochure language. Despite periods of political tension and ongoing regional unrest, Tanzania remains one of the most visited destinations in Africa—and for good reason.
Tanzania is a place where the Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Mount Kilimanjaro, and the turquoise beaches of Zanzibar all exist within one country. The range of experiences is wild—literally. From safari game drives to cultural encounters with Maasai communities, Tanzania offers more adventure in one week than many places offer in a month… if you’re prepared to pay for it.
Tourism is a major industry here, and locals know exactly why travelers arrive: safari tours, wildlife photography, authentic culture, untouched nature, and bucket-list experiences. And if you’ve flown across the world to get this close to lions, elephants, and world-class landscapes, they know you’re ready to spend.
Whether you’re planning a Tanzania safari, researching Tanzania travel tips, or trying to decide if 8 days in Tanzania is enough for your dream trip, this video gives you a realistic, on-the-ground look at the country.
