Don't EVER Take This Bus in Tanzania or Uganda (#43)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 พ.ค. 2021
- Sometimes on the road, you have a really bad day. This was one of those. I had the idea to take a bus from Mwanza, Tanzania's city on Lake Victoria, to Kampala in Uganda. You'll never believe what happened.
Share this video with anyone you know in Tanzania in Uganda. A company of thieves needs to be known for what they are.

A lot of people keep asking me "why did you leave the bag on the bus!?!??!?!???" That's a good question, and something I forgot to emphasize in the video is that during the stop for a lunch break, the bus employees told me specifically "leave the bag on the bus, we'll watch it." This is why I was so angry at the bus company and also why they're the obvious suspect. So it's not that I had a lapse of judgement, it's more that I chose to believe that employee wasn't a sociopath. I chose wrong.
If you're Tanzanian and Ugandan and feel like sharing this video to help, I appreciate it, marafiki zangu.
Damn bro so bad, i can feel how you feeln bro,
lil advice to you my brother : Next time when you move, move like an army in many african countries dont let your baggage behind you.
Will be sharing.
Easy coach is one of the most safest long distance buses company in western Kenya. They have their own hotel and specific destination stops. They also tag luggage entering the bus and confirm when its leaving. If you visit Kenya take that as a life saver. We welcome you to Kenya.
Really feel sorry, and annoyed that such people are even part of a company.... Low standards....
Am 100% Tanzanians will work to make sure we spread awareness as fast as we can ....And this Bus company will for sure be in close watch monitoring....And also thanks for spreading awareness...

Hi Thomas, I’m unsure how old this vlog is but just wanted to say - I’m a retired IRISH ship’s Captain living in Australia and have traveled the world on ships but more so, backpacking around over 70 countries throughout the world spending more time doing this than the time I spent studying and University plus sea time. My first travels began in 1967- Africa, 1969 Vietnam during the war then India Nepal Pakistan before really starting serious travel. It all finished a few years ago (Europe & Russia plus old Soviet block countries. I “Always” took extra special care with my “Minimalist’ baggage, alas, on eleven occasions in that 45+years I have lost baggage, even out of good hotel bedrooms with my door locked. More recently I have had a new MacBook taken out of a backpack whilst wearing it. The very last occasion was coming from an airport hotel in Melbourne, Australia, in the hotel limousine to the airport, not a mile away, only to find in the Qantas lounge that somehow my Bose headphones and my Bose mini sound system had disappeared en route from hotel to airport. Immediately on ringing the hotel, they advised me to continue on my journey whilst they picked up my gear and would then courier to me at my home in Queensland, Australia. I know it was in a locked zipper pocket in the pack and I told them I’d watched the driver put it in ‘And’ take it out. They said that if the zipper had broken and it accidentally fell out, the driver would undoubtedly return it. You can imagine the rest, I was never to see it again. How that driver (nice elderly Australian driver who worked only for the hotel) got that out of my pack, beggars my belief. I tell you this as by 10/12 years into my travels I began to factor in theft but even that could not defeat professional in the East or West. I only came over your videos yesterday and have began to binge watch, loving your work, keep it up, excellent viewing and, most important, factor in the thieves and rogues then you won’t give a flying Fuk about em. when it occurs. Oh, with your linguistic skills, can you factor in more questions of the cohorts you pick up to guide or assist you etc. my only suggestion to you for your brilliant productions. Safe travels my new friend and much love from Australia, if ever down this way there is ‘Free’ accomodation and guidance anytime. I live in a beautiful part of Queensland, the tropical Sunshine Coast. Bon voyage Thomas, Kindest regards, Brian. ☘️👌
Nice words.
I like your advice.
AYE AYE CAPTAIN!!!
(Sorry I’ve always wanted to do that)
Great advice Brian. I am a Tanzanian living in Japan now but back home in Tanzania I have a habit of ALWAYS keeping my phone AND my WALLET in my trouser pockets. The wallet will always have my most important cards and IDs, and my rather cheap phone is for all the contacts etc. This habit helps me to always be aware when I might miss either of those two items.
Back home I also had the miss fortune of losing my bag while on a bus from Arusha to Dar Es Salaam. I had chosen that particular bus thinking that since it was a "luxury" bus there would be a minimum chance of thieves travelling in it since its kinda pricey. How wrong was I. By the time I arrived in Dar, someone had taken out my work laptop PC and left me with a backpack only! The backpack was in the overhead compartment above my head. Whoever did that, performed that trick when we were having lunch at Korogwe. Nowdays I prefer private transportation whenever I am back home. Its more expensive but the peace of mind is priceless.
Pole sana Thomas.
I am sorry you had to experience that in Tanzania, a place you love. If ever you find yourself in Southern Kyushu in Japan, you are welcome to a cup of tea or sake and an exchange of stories.
Be blessed @@levaithenofgods9215 am from tz too. Thank u for advic bro ✌️
This post read like a letter, the hand written kind. I got quite involved. Nicely done.
Even in church I don't leave my important stuff in seats!!!! You learned the hard way man!!
@@YourHighnessThaKING Are you the thief employee from the bus company?
@@YourHighnessThaKING It was during a lunchtime stop. In developed countries it would be safe to leave some of your stuff there.
exactly thank you. Me neither.
Do not get back where you were stolen. Do not go to countries that are not worried about It.
@@swifty1969 😂😂😂😂😂
It is hard for me to believe such a seasoned traveler as you would leave your bag with all your wordly possessions lying around unattended on a bus in Tanzania
That was truly negligent.
That is not an excuse for theft. He was lucky that he was tourist. I don't know if the law enforcement would have acted if that had happened to a local.
"such a seasoned traveler as you would leave your bag with all your wordly possessions lying around unattended"
100% this! Losing his laptop and clothes is okay, but his passport should never be more than one feet away from him (i.e. if not in his pocket, should be in his backpack close by). Yeah, had to end the video.
There is nothing like seasoned traveller as you put it. People forget even the most basic things. However, stealing should never be condoned. There is absolutely no justification for this.
@@gordononyango3472 I’m not condoning stealing but I’m not gonna leave what would be considered a treasure chest to a person in poverty just laying around unattended either. Not in Africa, Not in Europe or the USA!
In Swahili, they say "Siku njema huonekana asubuhi" meaning you can tell by the morning if it's gonna be a good day. When you fell into a ditch that early it was a sign of bad things to come.
For real though
@@SabbaticalTommy bro stop being too comfortable when in africa be careful not all the places are safe be careful even places you walk even eat be careful why you left your bag inside the bus we never do that next time take care

Siku njema also ended up better.. Him having things stolen was not a setback, rather being saved from something else, that He will find out soon.. Timing of ours is directional. GODS timing is always perfect. Soon broda @Sabbatical
Why!? Why? Why! Why leave your bag unattended in strange, unfamiliar places?! You should even padlock your belongings to your limbs at night or when u go to sleep! Never trust anyone!!!
Yeah, I wouldn’t leave my bag alone in a bus in Delaware let alone poverty stricken Tanzania or Uganda. I mean dude’s gotta wake up if plans on continuing these travel vids..
LOOOOOL Left his bag and went eating in Uganda KEKW
Exactly my sentiments...and with all those valuables too? Bad decision and quite unfortunate.
@@YourHighnessThaKING you wach too much CSI my friend.
I can't stop my tears as a Tanzanian it really hurts I remember one day when I was young about 17 years old I grew up in Kigoma village not in town so I didn't know that if your travelling someone can stl in the bus....I was visiting my aunt in Dodoma my hand bag was stolen and my clothing I cried because I was hungry I couldn't eat because I had no money to pay even for my food because all money I had was gone...I hate this thing I didn't know what to do ooh my Goodness until one mama helped me tsh 5000 and food i arrived in Dodoma and my aunt was at the bus station I told her what happened she told me how next time I have to be careful with my things. Kweli inaumiza jamani. Isikukute hii isikie tu. Sasa kama huyu ni mgeni wezi mnakera sana kuiba ni dhambi jamani acheni kuwaumiza watu wafenyi kazi za haki. Pole sana kaka

Do not go where you were stolen. Do not go to Tanzania . Do not get back .
It happens all over the world,even in America,a lot. ✌🏼 That's why a wise man keeps his belongings with him at all times
As an Irish person it kills me to read about your story. I only wish that I was there to help you. God bless.
This channel is really underrated, it deserves more subcribes!!

@@YourHighnessThaKING Do you think he would upload videos to youtube if he were?
I agree with what happened to this brother from the history I got from my friend who traveled from Dar es Salaam to Bukoba using this particular Bus company. At Nyakanazi, they picked an Army soldier who unfortunately has no seat to sit on. The conductor pushed him and insulted him for not being civilized. The soldier said he was still looking for a good place to hold so he wouldn't fall. Still the conductor continued to despise. This situation discouraged the soldier and he asked to leave the bus even though it was night. This Bus Company shouldn't be tolerated.
Even in heaven I wouldn’t leave my bag in a bus
Why? You’re afraid God might steal it? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@YourHighnessThaKING You are fishy my dude. Why are you against the guy? By your own logic, you must be affiliated with the company.

Man i cant believe how stressful it can be to get your stuff stolen in a foreign country...

Yes, that very stressful, I especially be concerned about passport and ID'S credit cards which theives probably would try using immediately.
@@DecibelAlex I would think impair anybody judgement being drunk while traveling, that's bad enough, theives are always alert to people being careless
Don"t worry be happy. you have learned a new lesson, never to leave belongings unattended in a foreign country. Always keep your money and Passport with you.
Hell no! Please never leave belongings unattended in any place foreign or domestic. Sorry did that one time...and it did change my life course.
Never leave your stuff unattended anywhere
Well , you've just said it.
Not even in your country lol
That was a wild ride. You did a good job documenting everything.
We miss you bro
@@JC-lk3me You should never leave your stuff unattended anywhere in the world. That shit can happen anywhere.
The point of the video is to warn others to stay away from that bus company. The way they are all in cahoots is akin to organised crime.
Kid yooooo when you going back I loved you in Tanzania
@@johnsonaak7192 Very soon
@@R2BMusicCH Yup! So sad but true!
Just found your channel and my husband and I are binge watching your videos. We are so sorry this happened to you but you do such a great job keeping your chin up and documenting everything. It's also so cool that you speak so many languages. Keep it up
Rule 1. Keep all crucial possessions on you person, medication, travel documents, cash. Only leave unattended what you can afford to loose. Hey loving your posts 💕
" This is the real bad image , we have to do something to overcome this kind of behavior " Around the world every one is watching, the bus management should think twice ,and report this and how to stop it in the future.
No i think we should report the video inappropriate for you tube viewers coz it promotes hate and racism.
@@simkotec3091 How does a thief being caught promote hate and racism?
@@simkotec3091 You must be part of the gang, you must be one of the shameless thieves
Oh my god. What a “ride”...... that’s painful...... you deserve more subscribers!!! Thanks for recording and sharing your journey with us. I’m so sorry that happened to you. This should not happen to anyone. Seriously start working stop stealing!!! Kudos to all hard workers! I was lucky that when I traveled by coaches nothing was stolen, in the future I’ll definitely make sure to keep all important things with me......
Dude, the more I watch your videos and observe how you move so willy nilly, with your guard down, in foreign countries, and around the locals, the more I become afraid for you. God keep you safe.
'Willy nilly' - are you English? It's a very English saying. 😀
@@DMWBN3 Probably, but you understood what he meant.
@@beefnacos6258 totally understand, it’s good to hear the phrase, I’m not calling him out, quite the opposite.
Ps. I’m English, and recognised the phrase.

Man, your video touched me so much, I could feel pretty much everything you went through.
I went to Tanzania myself 8 months ago, and fortunately nothing like this happens to me, but I understand how frustrating this situation can be.
Anyway, you just gained one more suscribers, I like the way you communicate in a very natural a simple way.
Be safe. Life has to carry on. :)
Hey. Im watching your videos from Atlanta, GA. Im sorry for what has happened, but I’m praying for you to continue your journeys! You’ll make it through this!…
Atl here too 🔥🔥
Tommy, it's a rookie error leaving anything on a bus in any country. Even in North America leaving a bag on a greyhound bus, there's a chance somethings gonna go missing depending on the area.
Especially on a Greyhound 😂
Took the words out of my mouth
Travelers - it doesn't matter where you are - never EVER leave important documents and key cards away when travelling. Cheers!
😂😂😂😂😂
Every week there is something new on TH-cam that I watch far too many hours of. Lol. Last week was prob 70 hours of pinball repair, now this week creeping up on 15 hours of Sabbatical ! Great stuff bro !!! Really enjoy.
Oooh pinball repair sounds nice. Might have to get me one of those...
You are strong man, it would really break me if someone grabbed my hard drives and passport. Would stop filming that moment
at least it's content, so you should continue filming
Frankly, I am highly impressed with almost everything I see in this candid video in Tanzania. The authorities were as accommodating as you could hope for anywhere in the world, the employees in shops were attentive and respectful, and the people you came into contact with on the streets were well mannered and courteous. Overall, my impression is that the citizens have good self-esteem and that Tanzania is a "can do" country with excellent prospects for the future.
Deep down,Tanzania is not
@@chepparmaps Oh, just like literally every country in the world? There's a lot worse places. But deep down anywhere there are bad people.
@@jq7323 true
Great experience! Not just a video, but real content here! The troubles that travelers go through and how they are resolved. It also shows some of our African systems back home, how helpless they are to solve such issues. You probably could have waited 2 months and they would still be unable to solve it.
2 years later…
Yeah yeah my friend, we’re still investigating it. We’ll call you when we find the perp.
Even in America you don't expect Police the personally find and return your valuables. If it happens would be miracle.
What a awful journey dealing with your bag getting stolen. Thanks for taking us along! Better days ahead!
Thanks for the advices. We're moving to Tanzania soon and we love your videos! Stay strong you look like a great guy, good things will follow
Very good message, am from uganda and I happened to be a victim of that FRIENDS BUS
I bused and flew through Kenya, Uganda and finally Tanzania. I never, by the Grace of God had anything stolen or was sick. My friend had her backpack stolen at a bus station in Dar. Thankfully she had her small bag with passport/ cash on her. Excellent videos Tommy. Stay strong and keep them coming.
It was a tough one Tommy...but you are tough too. I really felt for you. On such trips, my bag is on me all the time. Don't trust any body. Cheers bro
For those of us who always travel, we know what is this feels like..God bless you be strong...
The point that made me laugh abit was when he said "I didn't know that Google made perfumes"
🤣🤣🤣🤣Africa is as amazing as it is comical! Somewhere on the lakeside of Kenya, I can bet you a newborn baby is being named either Corona or Quarantine or both!🥳🥳🤪🤪🤣🤣🤣
I love it when he say I hope they hit him up a bit " ajjajajaja
Very funny
Hahhahahahahahahaha!!!!! I also laughed LOL!!!!
Thank you for making these videos. I am glad that you share what you are going through during your travels. This is very helpful for when I may be in these situation.
I am glad that you were blessed enough that there are people who helped you along the way.
I'm so sorry you had to go through such an awful ordeal. Sometimes, things are learnt the hard way. Nonetheless, we move with positivity and a good potion of life lessons. Also, your video is such an eye-opener to all travelers. I don't think I'll ever forget this experience you had.
Boss you should keep your passport in your pocket and money you can't take risks I know how it feels..
Agree 100%. Keeping your passport anywhere else other than on your body, is asking for trouble.
I always keep my passport in the special walet which iwear every step imove
All the people in the comments saying you should have been more careful must have never ever had anything stolen from them. I'm sorry this happened to you truly. You handled this situation much better than i would have
Wow Tommy I’ve watched a ton of your vlogs but just came across this one today. Thank you for sharing this video I’ve experienced the exact same thing on a bus in Ecuador I could guarantee the bus driver was in on it as well. I was really upset with myself for not being more cautious but it goes to show me it can happen to anyone , especially the extreme poverty they endure. It made me sick for days after losing my laptop , hard drives and cameras. I thought you kept your cool and tried to expose the ones that were involved was amazing. The way you engage all the local people and treat them with such dignity and respect it’s incredible. Thank you for picking up and keeping riding along these incredible adventures with you 👍
Such a bummer about your bag. Your videos spread so much pleasure... that someone would do this to you is infuriating. I hope there’s some justice here.
I really like the host of this channel he is very humble and social.
Very humble guy
This is the only channel I know of where the comment section adds to the joy that video itself brings me.
I understand this must have been harrowing for you, but thank you for the most real, engaging and honest vlog I’ve ever watched on TH-cam. You deserve all the success you have attained 🙏
Never ever ever Leave your belongings at any Place that's number 1 rule!!!😪
Really sorry for the inconvenience. Thieves really suck. Hope all goes well from this point onwards.
Pole sana.
Man that's a bummer.
My backpack with laptop and IDs was stolen on a train in Switzerland. It was super quick. It only took a few seconds of inattention. One guy distracted me with some bulky luggage blocking my way and vision on my bag while an accomplice grabbed the bag and ran out of the train. It was the last few seconds before the train took off from the station. Clearly a planned scheme.
I now always leave my bag with valuables between my knees except in an aircraft.
3rd time through some of these videos, cant wait to see whats next on 166!!! Ty very much tommy, youve helped me more than you can imagine
Hey dude, I give you a automatic thumbs up because I know it’s going to be good
This really sucks, i feel bad for you, important lesson to never leave your bag unattended especially in hotel rooms or in any bus. It's too bad your visit to TZ ended on such a bad note, this is very embarassing. Pole sana kaka.
Hi Tommy! Just found your channel today. I live in the US and have never had the privilege to travel abroad other then going to Mexico when I was about 6 years old so I don’t even remember much. So I’m living vicariously through your vids and with the pandemic I don’t know when I’ll ever be able to travel. My family is from Scotland originally. That’s my first place I’d like to visit. Be safe on your travels! The corruption in some of these countries is frightening. Kinda scares me off of going but I admire your bravery and willingness to go.
There is corruption in every country. You should always be mindful of your belongings, no matter where you go. I even heard about a boy whose passport was stolen off of his waist belt in Spain once.
Tommy, you rock! Keep on keepin on. I can see that you are strong and will not let the bastards get you down. I travel my own path, and have been to many places over the years. I am from USA presently living in Vietnam. Your videos are amazing. You have 10 pound kahoonchas that enables you to go to places untraveled . You put yourself in some very thin line situations because YOU can handle it. I also admire your ability to communicate with ANYBODY with a very good sense of humble humanity. Your ability to speak and learn languages is uncanny. Nuff said , this Traveler is a Fan. I look forward to your new videos. ( You are the real deal well beyond the typical travel blog. )
Pole sana rafiki,I feel your pain.
Pole sana Tommy, now I know why u had disappeared during that time. Much love
Thanks for documenting. I felt so gutted. You reacted better than me. Such a shame that ppl do this not caring about the impact! Hopefully you can look back & laugh, but it sucks to be in this situation.
I believe the early morning tiredness and the unfortunate fall forced your guard down, which led to these sad situations to happen. You can’t trust any transportation services with your belongings unattained, even in airport they ask you to keep an eye on your belongings.
At first I thought you stained the Friends bus company out of anger but when I learnt that the whole hand from Friends was involved, your argument sounded more valid. It’s sad people use company to steal from people.
Glad to hear you took a break from this for yourself and moved one, that’s a powerful spirit you have. ✨
Cheers!
You couldn’t have handled it better! You got this (:
That sucks incredibly! I'm surprised you left passport and valuables in the bus at a bus stop though. I never leave anything valuable in the bus during any break...I separate them and keep them on my person at all times, and passport goes in a bag under my clothes that I weear. But nothing you can do about that now. Love your channel and reporting your experiences!
Yeah sadly Asia made me soft. I was over there for 6 years. This probably wouldn't happen in Macau but yeah it was a good learning experience

@@Sidetracked_in_Macau Mostly in China but spent some time in Japan and the Philippines as well. Still need to hit up South Korea, haven't been there
I always make sure to have my passport on me when I'm traveling, and I definitely wouldn't leave my bag with valuable stuff unattended in a bus or anything really. It sucks though that it got stolen none the less, but yeah, never leave your stuff behind when other people have easy access to it.
one thing i notice is , you still have a smile at this time way to go. i saw many asking why you leave your stuff, well shit happens sometimes, no matter how cautious you are. so you should always have guts to face it any time and be ready to all travellers.
What a nightmare Tommy. I am so sorry my friend.
I cannot believe this. Your contact lenses and all valuables. As someone who wears contacts I would be crying 😢. I'm so so so sorry. I wish we who watch you could all have in person come to your rescue. This man is just trying to enjoy his African experience. This is so sad.
Yeah to be honest, that was one of the hardest parts. I almost destroyed my eyes while waiting. Def keeping an extra pair in my pocket from now on..
Why would you leave your most important things on the bus unattended? It was bound to happen.
My thoughts exactly. I could imagine leaving my backpack unattended if there was nothing in there besides some clothes and a toothbrush. But my passport and money never. That is what moneybelts are for.
Honesty is key, why should a bus employee steal from their client? unjustifiable
It doesn’t excuse the thieves from having stolen his things.
@@zervalu6313 money belt ?
@@chepparmaps it’s unfortunate but it’s done everywhere in the world and am not from TZ.
Valuable lesson learned. You never leave your bag behind while travelling unless it is under lock and key and watched over by trusted staff.
A foreigner in a country must be treated like guest and be given love, respect and shelter. I hope the person who stole your belongings and the complicit bus company reads this and understands it.
…that sense of entitlement! Why so, because that foreigner is a Caucasian? Go and try that in US or somewhere else.

@@nolaray1062 a thief would not decide to steal based on the color of one's skin, but on opportunity. You leave a bag full of valuables unattended, you should expect that he would not pass that opportunity.

Never leave your valuables in a bus, travel lesson 101. Take your back pack with you.

Good, live in Tanzania even when i enter a mosque i still take my pulse at the bathroom,when praying i put it infront of me, i guess he was way too comfortable
"travels alone" travel doesn't have any meaning whatsoever, stay in your country and help your own.
I love your videos. Finally, someone who is in the same standard and Bold, Harold and Kurt. You will be a star in no time if you keep on sending us your videos. If you ever come to Iceland then look me up. I can show you paradise.

This is the realest travel channel I’ve ever saw!!! And that’s 💩 about your bag bro!!! I just recently Came across your chair and I’ve been watching it for about 3-4days now love all of the content
That Google perfume had me so weak, I would definitely buy a bottle
Apologies for what happened to you. That company's license has to be revoked. We Africans do not tolerate thieves. That bus company is a disgrace to Tanzania.
It can happen anywhere in the world
Keep your belongings with you all the time
That bus doesn't belong to Tanzania. Its a Ugandan bus
Revoked for what? The company should be awarded bus company of the year! Without any court involvement or judgement they paid for the guy to stay in a lovely villa for two whole weeks plus entertainment! They could have easily said they'll take him to the embassy and pay a couple of hundred dollars for his passport.
Wacha ujinga. Revoked for what? His bag, his personal responsibility. When a thief steals from a rental apartment, do tenants go for the landlord? Wacha ufala wewe.
Magufuli gone, criminals are back. we miss you Magufuli😥😥😥
Mmmh
I love these videos. I'm jellous. Even when it gets bad it's still a journey... but a journey I wouldn't take on friends bus company lol
Woah amazing video.. Bad things do go wrong sometimes. It's nice to see people vlogging this stuff too.. It is indeed reality.. Glad everything worked out.. Altho long wait.. Wow
Pole sana, bro. Unfortunately, there are many people in Tanzania waiting for an opportunity to profit from a rookie error. You can be sure that all the employees were in on it. One guy acting alone wouldn't have got away with it. As for the police in Tanzania, they are about as useful as a chocolate fireman and only interested in bribes. They operate on the basis that the Mzungu will be insured, so they won't bother doing anything other than the bare minimum.
I always keep my stuff on me at all times and trust no Tanzanian that I don't know well.
If you do that, you'll minimise the chances of having these sort of adventures and having to deal with the authorities and can concentrate on the more enjoyable side of Tanzania, like meeting local people and travelling around and so on.
One bad memory and a couple of shitty people won't take away the thousands of good ones. Maybe that little kid saying hi to you was a heartwarming reminder of that.
Chukulia poa. I hope the waizi get the vigilante justice that is often delivered out there.

You did the right thing. You were treated nicely all the time and with respect mostly. I would have left my bag in the bus also.
Honestly i think that a stupid mistake youll never make again leaving your stuff on that bus! This is by far best video I've seen on your channel!
Just subscribed. Interested in watching your journey.
I'm so sorry for you.....I enjoy your videos a lot and pole sana on behalf of my countrymates!
Oh my god!!!! Such a tragic video!!!! So good to see you recover your sanity!
hey tommy sorry for what happened but you should have a back pack that you move around with it with your valuables and another bigger bag with clothes which can lay around in a bus,in kenya there are buses that can be trusted when you get off for pit stop.i hope u get your passport and continue showing us different places in east africa
Pole sana. I hope you get your belongings back. Please never leave your belongings in a bus when you travel. This is saddening. Whenever you travel in Africa always have a small backpack to store your valuables such as a passport, camera and laptop. You should never leave it out of your sight. Clothes and shoes should be stored separately. Pole sana. Kila la heri
Great channel by the way and mucho respect for your ability to pick up languages
What a nightmare. We all learn the hard way sometimes. I had my passport and camera stolen on my 2nd day, luckily in a capital city, and a got a permit and flew away the next day. I never that mistake again. Which was being drunk out with my passport and telling my friends I’ll be fine alone and momentarily falling asleep on the sea shore. You’re alive all those things you lost will be replaced. Better yet they can upgraded 😘 I’m happy to see you still on the road Tommy.
What an experience! Sorry about what happened. What a shame to Tanzania! I really do hope the authorities get back to you and update you on the progress. In the meantime, I am striking off Tanzania from my bucket list.
My belongings once been stoled in Norwey , what is your point
@@zakahaaji2358 Actually, what is your point?
Love your videos and attitude to travel Tom.... Kind of feel like leaving bags unattended on a bus in a third world country, or any country. Would be too tempting for an opportunistic thief though lol
You're a strong man! Be safe✨
Thank You for sharing!
