World's Safest City Is In AFRICA!? Kigali, Rwanda (#75)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ก.ย. 2021
- Let's be honest, we all have preconceptions about Africa before going there. But if there's one country in Africa that you may have heard good things about in the media, it's Rwanda. It's so clean and organized, they said. But reading about it is one thing, actually experiencing it was another. I wasn't expecting at all what I found in Kigali, being that the country was destroyed barely over 20 years ago. I was so shocked that I had to go and support Rwanda in a basketball game, and see if I could help them over the top against the mighty Cape Verde.
#sabbatical #rwanda #africa
The good times are back. I won't be here for that long but I'm gonna make it count. Amakuru, Rwanda?
Here for a good time, not a long time.
We have missed u🇰🇪
Thought u left home
Show both sides of Rwanda... where the media doesn't get to show people.
Hi sabbatical. I do watch all of your videos. In your African adventure i would recommend you try Namibia. I am kenyan but i want you to try Namibia.
As a black american from the hood, people here need to see this and understand transformation is possible. Thanks for making this video
Real talk, I was thinking the exact same thing.
@@bobriquardo5317 yeah....I don't get you
@@Samual.adis.Najmani There's always 1... just ignore him.
Yes it is. I'm also black in South America and it is possible but it will take alot of work and time. Some people won't get rid of their bad habbits it will take them some time to adapt to it. We started cleaning campains all around the city and educated people on tv and gave them flyers and info and started adding more trash bins and recycling bins for only cans and plastic bottles for recycling and i have to say my country is cleaner then ever. Some people may continue their bad habbits but it's verry mininal now so to make a change people need to do something about it.
@@bobriquardo5317 Rwanda relies on trade not aid. Stop being ignorant.
3 things I loved the most;
Clean streets, no chaos
Police being decent, not demanding bribes
Excellent basketball arena & Countrymen filling a stadium to support their team
Go Rwanda, Go! 😁
It makes me feel like nairobi is pure chaos especially eastlands
Rwanda looks like the posh places of weatlands
@@nyanchamadidit7611 True
Support? You should go see a Gor Mahia at Moi Stadium Kisumu. Then you will see real support! :D
Time for all the butthurt, entitled, Nere d'wells to take a good, long look at Rwanda.. Something good happens when attitudes change..
I'm Kenyan but I admire Rwanda's way of life, cleanliness, organized, safety, no corruption, development and the list goes on. Enjoy your time there.
I mean why don't you try to make Kenya better? Just like Rwanda did
@@wakairu Rwanda is amazing if you think about it's past, Kenya still has more stuff to provide grand future
Change starts from you. Look how kenyans follow there politicians, look how they follow there pastors when they know some are genuine
No corruption ?? Hahaha ….. Ask Paul Rusesabagina about corruption .. Paul Kagame is a joke ..
I prefer Kenya. We can break a few rules here and there and all is well. I have nothing against Rwanda but most of the time her people look like disciplined kids scared of getting spanked by their parents for stepping out of the line. The organised chaos in Kenya just excites me.
Rwanda is the Singapore of the African continent 👍 Go Rwanda! Much love from Singapore
Rwanda is the Rwanda of Africa & the world 🌎
You are right we looked after Singapore 🇸🇬 for our transformation Singapore is the Main inspiration of Rwanda 🇷🇼 we admire Singapore 🇸🇬🙏🏼much love ❤️ from Rwanda
I used to travel to Kigali for work and Rwanda never seized to amaze me with its transformation into a peaceful, unified, polite, stable society despite it being a small country with a relatively large population!
Rwandans are a proud people and for a very good reason.
In 1994. the west had been mostly focused on Bosnia because it's in Europe. Today Bosnia is still a mess, while Rwanda has blossomed and they did it all on their own!! 👍👍
Well the West started the mess in Rwanda particularly Belgium. The 1994 was a result of what the Belgium started during colonization. When people were dying the entire world watched and did nothing because they did not CARE!! 1994 was a wake up call to the people of Rwanda.
Much love to our friends like you out thier in the world 😊Thanks 🇷🇼🇷🇼
@@berthekabwe871 You're not wrong but you're over simplifying things, the belgians didn't commit those atrocities
@@yonatan.b But the colonizers had committed the previous ones (1950s and 1960s) and had installed the very regime that perpetrated the latter episode.
Berthe Kabwe grow up and stop pointing your finger at others for your problems/civil wars/whatever
Rwanda's story astounds everyone.
While the infrastructure bit can be done by anyone, the cultural transformation of Rwandese must have taken a lot of work. They are law-abiding, honest, polite, respectful.
If only they were also allowed to have opinions... I'm waiting for a 'staring' video. If you've been in Rwanda you understand.
@@cobwebtheorem7538 There is a price for safety.
@@cobwebtheorem7538 I've not, so what does that mean ?
Honest× Law abiding× it's by force, Polite✓ , respectful×
Kagame
Lessons on cleanness,organization,no police corruption and no street thieves thumbs up 👍 Rwanda,you make Africa proud
Watching from Kenya. If Rwanda rose from a near collapse to one of the best countries in Africa then I believe Democratic Republic of Congo will rise too
That country is a heaven on earth
Unfortunately, Rwanda is the country that's destabilizing the DRC
@@thirdworldrebel I see that a lot on the internet. Mind explaining how ?
@Ndegwa Mugo, Rwanda has contributed to the trouble we have in Congo, DRC by sending its military to the Eastern DRC and maintaining so called rebels there and stealing resources there. That is where their development is coming from. That country has zero resources.
@@thirdworldrebel UNFORTUNATELY you are confused in your statement
@@thirdworldrebel VERY TRUE.How can Rwanda refine GOLD when they DON'T MINE it?All the Gold is coming from the DRC because Rwanda controls some territory of DRC.
Thank you for promoting Africa. Some very ignorant people think we live on trees. They think everyone is poor.
you can thank the western media for that.unfortunately, people are ignorant and believe everything they say. in fact the west could learn many things from Africa and its people.
You say there are ignorant people that think Africans live in trees and they are all poor but there's a lot of Africans who are ignorant about white people you think all white people are rich and have money so it goes both ways don't you think
Well to be fair there are rural tribes in Africa and in Europe there’s not really any isolated tribes expect from maybe the Lapps if you want to count that. Plus the fact africa has had so many civil wars and on average the poverty is much higher so it’s a justified misconception it’s not like it’s purely idiotic
As a black man in South America i will share these videos as much as i can. Lot of rasism going on over here everytime a black person here makes a mistake Afrika is to blame and that we are poor. I must say alot of us are hardworking and succesfull people but we still get a bad name because a small group that misbehaves. Getting sick of all of this so i'm sharing these videos to show how succesfull and beautiful Afrika is. I hope to visit one day.
Not on trees, but in trees. Come on bruh.
The fact that the guy selling the phone got offended when you suggested it's stolen tells me they are much more honest and proud than you initially expected.
Yes in Rwanda there is little to no crime - specifically theft. There’s TH-cam video of people leaving bags on the street as a social experiment in Kigali and no one touching it for hours. A business man from Sudan once left a suitcase of money in the airport and flew back to his case full of money kept with no dollar missing.
If they are selling an unboxed phone on the street it's most likely stolen
@@elleuga3054 maybe where your from but not Rwanda.
@@johntrust6217 umm.....I'm Rwandan 😉
@@johntrust6217 what I'm saying it's safer to buy an unboxed phone from a store. Especially when buying more expensive brands like apple or samsung. It just saves you a tone of headaches.
Tommy your ability to learn languages easily is incredibly amazing.
I know! Right?
As a humble speaker of merely 3 languages, I could share with you my insight. First and foremost: be like a child. Stay curious, don't be afraid to make a mistake. At all. No shame. Secondly, try to visualize the words you're trying to learn both with a token representation in your mind, and spelling it out phonetically and actually. Also, repeat this step once every few minutes with increasing gaps in time. Hope this helps!
Rwanda 🇷🇼 has a lot to be proud of! I admire what you have shown on this video.
Africa,it can be done
There can exist orderliness and cleanliness
Rwanda,I am super proud of you!
Who are you electing next year? Tuanzie hapo 🙈
Rwanda is a testament of human resilience and what Africa can achieve if they put their heart to it.
Rwanda so much clean and organized !!
Love from India 🇮🇳
We love you back
I think They (Rwanda) have toilets too
Rwandans deserve to shine.Let them be good examples through which other African countries can learn from.You don't need to learn from European experiences as Africans.
Some of us still don't want to learn. Nigeria has major "hygiene and pollution" issues, despite Rwanda "shining like a diamond".
Rwanda is beautiful. Never expected this! That city he is in could compete with most European cities.
Not in infrastructure but perhaps cleanliness...Been to Paris, Berlin etc but Kigali is cleaner..but also development is limited to the capital.the rest of the country is in dire poverty
@@Afrorack The social reform was of more importance than the infrastructure. In Kenya they have infrastructure better than Rwanda's but it's not as clean. The development is more spread out because of Devolution. But Rwanda's sense of stability is unlike any other. Even Kenya.
@@tosinojo7310 Japan is even cleaner though, and it's a developed democratic country, so yeah it's definitely possible, people in western countries (like myself) are just too individualistic, they don't care about the state ot public property
Plus Japanese children are taught to be clean and responsible for cleaning (there are virtually no janitors in Japan) as soon as they start going to school
@@Afrorack Go try Germany, Sweden, Finland
@@Afrorack wait few years Rwanda is going to be one of the best develop country in the world only in 27 years see how Rwanda was achieved but uk and other European countries doing this in period of 100 years wait and see🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Wow, I’m so impressed and happy for Rwanda. It was so sad with the genocide years ago but look at them now. gives hope for the rest of the world. If they can come back from that literally ashes and dust, that is amazing. May God continue to bless Rwanda. They are light to this world.
Lots of countries can do the same thing but choosing you're government correctly is the most important
@Daniel Okeke TV I didn't said vote
@Daniel Okeke TV revolution
I'm Kenyan , Currently in Rwanda . I love how accurate your videos are , just what it is , and they are soo awesome,
Rwanda looks amazing. Defo there own government doing a good job they even get promoted for tourism over here in the uk. Visit Rwanda , glad to see a country in Africa get investment and flourish
Kigame did a great job with Rwanda honestly. It's so beautiful, the people and police are so civil, I love them.
Kagame, no kigame
What a surprise Tommy, I thought you traveled back to New York, and BAM! Out comes a video of you in sparkling clean Rwanda. You’re a man in perpetual motion.
Tommy I've really been impressed with your language interactions with everywhere you go, especially in Africa coz I'm from Kenya 🇰🇪
It was amazing how having in Kenya
Now in Rwanda 🇷🇼... Loving it
I won't be surprised if this guy is a CIA agent. He's well trained in languages of the region. Though he seems nice, that's part of the training. People like this are the ones who have historically fucked Africa big time because they catch the unsuspecting countries off guard and will hit them hard where they least expected it.
The cleaners in Rwanda are very clean! Very clean country with outstanding developments all over in all areas of life! Kudos to Paul Kigame!! A leader with a vision for his country.
That intro was badass ! I geeked out when he said he was in Rwanda ! If I could travel to any African country it would be Rwanda !
Fellow Kenyans🇰🇪 , did you see that?! The order, cleanliness, even inside the stadium, your City, no crazy traffic noices ..oh men, Kuddos Rwanda!!!
Thanks. RWanda has a lot to learn from kenya as well
@@rugwizainnocent1881 You are absolutely right bro👊
I have only seen this video clip ,I am very impressed Kigali is so clean well designed and amazingly beautiful 😍. Congratulations Rwanda 🇷🇼❤
This man sets the standards for African videos. And ooo boy did he put them high. Like I said, YOU THE BEST!
no he does not
A European? Stop it
@@CarryTheThree Point me to something a little more authentic.
That view is honestly insane, reminds me of LA
Boyle heights
Better then LA
That view is whack, you should see the view from my place as I live at the top of a mountain. The view is spectacular and I sit in my living room for birdwatching every morning. There is an eagle that comes by daily. It's therapeutic.
@@lydian5762 An eagle with white wings? 😂 LOL
Hell naa🤣
I’m Somalian and Kigali is my favourite place to visit one day now I’m in Sydney Australia
I'm also travelling through Africa solo and I really enjoy watching your content. Thank you!
Hi Chris
Rwanda seems to be a fantastic country and I really like the efforts they make towards development. If I ever visit Africa, Rwanda will be in my list.
I love how hyped the crowd got during the comeback. Too bad they still lost!
I felt bad, I wish he had watched when Rwanda played Angola. It was more fun as we won.
Tom,I have just re-ignited my contact with yt to be able to tell you that I never miss one of your uploads.
I have been making some bad decisions of late and you bring me peace and you have bought a tear to my eyes on several occasions. I enjoy the purity and the smiley face you travel with, you bring a smile and plenty of giggles. I have travelled in U.S;Ozz;and Europe,learnt languages to get a bed + conversation+ food,not at the same time. I used to be confident smiley traveller but had it knocked out of me with life stuff. I wonder how many years more you can do it for my friend.
I hope life treats you with some ease & joyous moments my brother! Chin up & keep at it, life can be a s.o.b when it gets tough.
Yay you’re back! We’ve been impatiently waiting ☺️
Rwanda is the epitome of versatility of the human Mind,yes we can be anything we want to be anytime it's within us by us for us with us, Congrats Rwanda!!❤️🙏👋👋
Rwanda is such a beautiful, well run country. It’s amazing how much it has blossomed since the 1990s. Totally different country. This is what happens when you have good leadership.
You are the best Tommy. You are very good at learning different languages. Your French is 👌🏾 Thank you so much for showing motherland Africa. Stay safe and have fun
Thank you for coming in my country . It is our culture to welcoming visitors in all continents of the world. No one can hurt you easily.
Kigali should put in a bid to host a future Olympic games.
I Like the Way the Citizens are confident about their Country. one of the recipes of Development
Right. Kenyans lack this. We criticize our country so much
@@hk254lyt8 Rwandan leaders are patriotic. They put their people first. Kenyan leaders are the opposite. We (patriotic Kenyans) should raise our voices high. Everyone needs to hear what goes on so that the country changes for the better.
@@derrickmutuma7185 Rwanda still has low quality life compared to Kenya. Their per capita is less than $1000 and they don’t complain. They still believe in themselves
@@hk254lyt8 They do so because they trust their government to make their lives better in the long run. I won't be surprised if Rwanda overtakes Kenya in GDP per capita in the next two decades. Anyway, let's hope and trust that everything will be okay over here.
@@hk254lyt8 really?What about issues like cleanliness? It's not always about money, you know.
Really amazing! I was so impressed by the cleanliness.i hate how many North American cities seem to ignore this.
People are pigs and think others should pick up after them.eliminate people you eliminate trash.isnt that what the climate change people are pushing ? Less people.
Wow hope to visit Rwanda one day.... One love from Nigeria
Rwanda (Kigali so far, anyway), seems to give a look at what Africa could end up looking like it in a fully modern future.
Can't wait to see if you go and explore the rest of the country
It actually has more far beautiful cities upcountry, (Gisenyi, Karongi among others....)
I lived about 15mins away from where u stayed. I love rwanda man. Im Moving there in 5 years to live and do business. Place is sooo organized and clean. I loved every bit of my stay.
Those police in Rwanda seem very reasonable and a common sense approach, the way they questioned you, took details, the channel, and the welcome.
Except for the part where they stopped him for no reason. But other than that yeah i agree
@@Sebbir it wasn’t for no reason. I don’t think they see too many white guys walking around and filming
@@Sebbir it isn’t suspicious a white man walking around with a camera? So that isn’t a reason?
You are a really great TH-camr. Most youtubers who come to any country here in Africa always try and show the negative side. They film at the remote villages and paint this image of poverty and desperation then give small handouts to appear like heroes.
Yeah, it's even got a name. "White savior complex".
@@Svendsor there is a new one called poverty p0rn
Poverty pornstars
Hey Sabbatical! I recently watched all of your videos in Mexico and I like your information a lot! Helping me a lot with my Mexican-American class that I have. I love the way you give us facts with your travels.
We are blessed again by another upload. Have always been fascinated by the approach of Rwanda's government and how environmentally conscience and forward thinking they are.
As I was wondering where your travels take you, you end up in RWANDA 🇷🇼❤️
Very smart move Tommy
Can’t wait for the upcoming views
Thank you
I am just amazed by the beauty to kigali! Its not over populated, its clean, there are actual rules! This is amazing!
😄 I guessed it right!! You're now in Kigali!
Lovely. We're happy to have you around, brother!
Rwanda is a country on its own, very beautiful.
Your videos is one of my favorites I'm getting to know more about Rwanda, Tanzania and all regions of Africa. Thanks so much for all your videos and to all youtubers who visit africa and their experiences in those countries.
Thank you, you are back with a bang. Just loved your content. The whole Y.T watching. Waiting for the nexx
Nextone.
We should know how Rwanda has been able to achieve success so far because of the determination of the people and the excellency of their president who is HONEST and deeply loves his PEOPLE and COUNTRY.
Much love, keep up the great content!
Glad to see Rwanda beautiful and succeeding.

Awesome vlog. Thank you for taking us along
Your ability to speak in almost any language is what sets you apart from the rest of the travel vloggers. its great.
I'm going through a hard time and I like to watch your videos when I feel super low. I feel like I'm there walking through the streets of Africa with u and seeing all that u see. Just for that time I forget my sad reality. Thank u for ur videos
A US Master Sergeant stationed in Europe once said:
"America is a third world country with a first world army."
I think the U.S.A can be extremely dystopian. Some live in third world conditions, there's a struggling middle class, and some are living with the best amenities in the first world. I know it sounds like sugar coating, but the fact that that has been the seat of power in a long time and some people live in some despicable conditions and some others are living extremely good, the best tech and services in the world. Dystopian.
@@emmanuelgathara696 It's not just money.
It's about people having no trust government authorities. Gun violence, highest number of incarcerated individuals worldwide etc
I’m Ugandan and I love Rwanda! My dad used to travel there every fortnight for business and he would take one of us there with him during holidays. All my siblings loved it! It’s a beautiful country and very clean indeed!
What happened during the genocide was horrible bless them, they’ve come back stronger.
And oh their women are so beautiful😊
What about the men?Are they handsome?
@@alexandermutune6131 Now Alex. Your question is interesting. Why are you asking about men and you are a man yourself? Do you remember that video of Sabatical at Diani in Mombasa Kenya. The one of "You are a man and I am a woman?". Remember how they went to withdraw money at midnight?. Why are you asking obvious questions? A man is as handsome as his wallet!
@@alexandermutune6131 bro easy answer they have one of the handsome men too in Africa tall small size
@@kiiza2886 Sorry Sir. Maybe this is due to a clash of cultures. In my country even a man with a pot belly and the latest SUV (V8) is very handsome. I believe it is also the same in your country. But I can go on to add. During my high School days one of the set books we studied for literature was Professor Wole soyinka's novel (Africa's nobel lauriate for literature from Nigeria) called "The lion and the jewel". According to the book the village teacher's girlfriend is married by the Village chief who had several wives. So how does handsomenes count here? I rest my case.
As a Nigerian, I feel like we should borrow Rwandese to come help manage our country. Sadly with all the bright minds we have. First they have to teach us how to live together in peace. At present it's our president using people of his Fulani ethnic group within and from outside Nigeria to disposes natives of their land comiting genocide. Leadership is very important. That's what got Rwanda back on its feet.
Im impressed. Very beautiful city. Can't wait to see more of what Rwanda has to offer.
I would highly highly recommend Cape Verde as a place to go, it's super safe and astounding, every island is completely different, from the black sands of Fogo to the golden beaches of Boa Vista to the music and culture of São Vicente to the green mountains of Santo Antão, it is truly remarkable and nothing like it in the entire continent of Africa
Afrika has so many nice places check them out!
@@samutykuntathebantu8402 I have ? And Cape Verde is still unique
Though the cost of living is high in Cape Verde.
@@lawrencetarget3059 yeah cape verde is very safe and beautiful
Yeah I'd actually love to go, just need to dust off my Portuguese. Maybe next year
How I wish I could meet this legend in person. Love from Kenya.
Yeah, I’m shocked too. This was a great video and really mind blowing for me. I hope you will able to explore like you have in other countries. I’m very curious what the county side has to offer.
Even in the US you would have been stopped by police for the same concern (spy) if you are filming randomly especially for a foreigner and Non American. So not just in Africa. .
Kenya, grab a pen and a notebook on that city cleanliness bit. In Rwanda, I would literally bike to work everyday.
It was also good to see a Turkish company also sponsored (you can see its logo just next to Ganten - Chinese brand) to this great show.
Maybe we do not have money like China but we have good products & nice people & wonderful hospitality for Africa (and African people).
As Turkey, we are really focused on Africa to develop our relationship with African countries (and African people).
There are many African students (and non-students) in Turkey and they live in peace and very friendly with Turkish people.
Turkey welcomes all African people!
Kigali Arena (the arena in the video )was built by a turkish company summa in six months

I thoroughly enjoyed a couple of months in Kigali just before the pandemic....night life ain't bad either Remera area in Kigali is the heart of the party and then weekends most people would head to Gishenyi for some beach experience

Rwanda is an inspiration and role model for all of Africa.
Rwanda is an organized and respectful country. I live in Kigali, an amazingly clean city. Every year the city of Kigali ranks first in Africa in the cleanest, third in the world, according to a list compiled by the United Nations Department of Housing.
Learning about the history of Rwanda in school back in the days, I'm honestly surprised how big of a turn around the country took for the better.
Curious what grade you learn it in? Did you go to American school? I went to all grades but 12 and never learned about it until the internet and movie
