I have a lot of respect for him. He have learnt the language to break the ice. He is not regular tourist. I also can see that people have a lot of respect to him.
Agree 💯, I think his desire and ability to learn the language allows him to be in this way, I love the fact Tommy makes such an effort to learn the culture, history and language and my experience of travel and these videos show the locals appreciate the effort......it is telling when you watch his videos and you see how shocked locals are when they hear him speak, shows what went before him!
He’s like Bald & Bankrupt, adventurous and multilingual, but more chilled and not laddish. I really enjoy much of Mr. Bald’s channel, but sometimes, especially with Harald Baldr, he gets a bit silly and churlish. I like Sabbatical’s maturity in how he deals with people, and he clearly respects the cultures he visits.
Bald lacks elementary human respect towards others and completely disregards the culture of the country he is in. I tried watching his stuff and I cringed hard and often. It's no coincidence he had troubles because of his behavior in Chechnya. I have always been saying that if you are respectful and decent, you will rarely have problems no matter where you go.
You got to respect bald and Harrald for being the first doing these style videos, now we have more with sabatical and Kurt kaz, great stuff from all of them, although different styles, i like m all. Only one i dislike is that other english dude, simon or something?
Very impressed with your channel. It's a celebration of languages and with this it offers something that most other travel vlogs cannot! Looking forward to follow your lead through this amazing continent.
@@nancynyaswentanyaboke6217 i joined at 4000 or so :D but i think he still deserves a lot more subscribers, hopefully he will reach a baldr or b&b level
You are growing ! I was with you since 1k .... Keep up the historical explanations aswell , you do background info really well!! and make an effort to learn the local culture
As I mentioned before as an Indian born in East Africa our forefathers were brought by the British to East Africa in the 18th century to build railway. Mombasa was the entry point. Then some moved inland to Uganda &Tanzania etc. so lot of Indian influence there like chapati was adopted by locals which Indians cooked every day. Even Indian language was adopted by East Africans. You will find lot of Indians influence in East African cuisine. Been to Mombasa umpteen times since I was a baby. My mother was born in Mombasa
The history taught in Kenyan schools is that the Indians were brought by the British to build the railway. However , the truth is that the Indians used to be in east Africa before the Portuguese. They used to trade with the swahili people and the Arabs. It is very sad to see history being distorted by these Kenyans.
Another amazing video Tommy. Total different feel there. Thank you once again for posting your journey. Be safe out there brother. Sabbatical rocks!!!!
I love your channel for the mere fact I get to take my mind off being in lockdown 24/7 whenever I watch your vids. Love your vlogs Tommy, love from Malaysia
Wait! Whaaat what happened? Haha that was like I was a kid and someone was gonna give me candy but took it away . Anyways it’s great to see u back lovely 🤗
I start following your videos just for 2-4 weeks ago, you are doing grate jobb showing us africa, i show your video to some of my swedish co workers , lets say the were surprised .Keep on doing what you do.
1:44 Shree Jain Temple, must be a temple for Jainism, a non violent, vegetarian religion from India. British brought in many Indians to Kenya, who helped build the railways, ports etc. as indentured labours. In the book Man Eaters of Tsvao, about the lions who developed a taste for humans, many of them unfortunately Indians, who were in camps building the Mombassa to Nairobi line.
It has amazed me how Sabbatical knows how to bargain like a real Kenyan🇰🇪😂😂and how the hell do you know the worth of Kenyan shilling you can't be coned
@@irenedavo3768 nah. The people who make the bracelets are paid very little. The guy who owns the store makes all the money. Usually the same rich guy owns all the art/craft tourist stores.
We know you are Kenyans you don't have to advertise yourself and Coast isn't Kenya so stop being proud of a city which doesn't belong to kenya. Pwani si Kenya! Got it ?
Kenya is not a safe place to visit 😠😠😠 I'm from Indonesia. Kenya government kidnapped a British Biafran freedom fighter because of bribe from the jihadis government of nigeria 😠😠😠
I think that's very fascinating & important. While common language is great to communicate with own country's people, adapting language to current time is equally valuable!
I was from Indian videos mixing rice to chupati and the great economist to the children villagers whom love to see you with the chief and his 11wives. Your amazing man keep it up. Love from 🇵🇭
You’re great, man. I became a husband and a father here, in Tanzania, so I’m a little sedentary. Once my Son can walk & talk (which is any moment now, it seems 🤣) we’ll be out on the streets of East Africa, like you! One life to love ❤️💪🏾
Actually he was not going to India the Portugal king at the time had sent Vasco to explore the East African Coast after he reached there the people of Mombasa were hostile so he went to Malindi where he was welcomed....
My understanding is that the language developed over time, borrowing words from the languages of the visitors and merchants to the area. Bantu, Arab and maybe Persian traders as well.
Persians are the ones who emigrated to mombasa not Arabs. There is a big park in Nairobi called jeevanjee a successful Persian businessman during 1800s
Please I need your guys I don't know Arab neither Persian or Hindu. Could someone tell me which are those borrowed words from above languages I mentioned
Tommy your scene entertaining a lot that l can't get enough watching,especially when sellers told the price and you created your price by adding more than the real price,you're so Ruth person😁😁😁,we are missing you lot ,when will you came back,pombe,sigara,mat...,.🇹🇿🇹🇿
@6.00 lol! I know you love Tanzania more low key. Nice walk through history as always big man, please organize a meet up session with your fans one of this fine days I know most of us have been yarning to hang out with you.
Great time in Mombasa, Tommy! Do you often run into subscribers? Your lunch looked delicious, but I’m sorry that it all went to ****! I look forward to part 2
I'm from Indonesia Kenya is not a safe place to visit 😠😠👎 I heard a news that your government kidnapped a British Biafran freedom fighter because of bribe from the jihadis government of nigeria 😠😡 The case is in icc already.
Ur county kidnapped a British Biafran freedom fighter. A man who is fighting for the freedom of the Biafran people, because the jihadis government of nigeria are slaughtering them with the help of the fulani hesdmen parading themselves as cattle rearars.
I feel like you need to find a local tour guide that way you will have a much better experience as they explain to you the history of Mombasa and even take you to some areas you would never access as a foreigner where you meet the true swahili people.
*I am Balushi from Pakistan, here in Karachi Pakistan we also have Bambasa yes it's not Mombasa but Bambasa... it's really awesome to watch your videos and yes, You should also travel to Muscat, Oman and you can try your Swahili there as well. There are thousands of Zanzibari origin people living there for centuries.....* 😊
They say Rawanda is rapidly becoming the Singapore of Africa and the city of Kigali is the cleanest city in the entire African continent. Do you think you might visit Rawanda to see if its progress has been as amazing as people say?
Oh! Hell yes! I truly hope he goes there and tell us about the conflict between the Hutu and Tutsi and also of course about the famous hotel and manager.
@@swifty1969 I've heard the people of Rwanda so deeply regret what came of their tribalism that they don't even use the words Hutu and Tutsi. Instead they've focused on coming together and building a sense of shared community. So for example, one Saturday each month one person from each household volunteers three hours of doing community service work. That sense of community has resulted in a culture of no littering. Plastic bags are illegal.
That's my City my Town but why you didn't reach a place like Nyali Mamangina drive Bamburi Beach and even cross the Ferry to the Diani Beach it will be fantastic I hope your soo welcome in Mombasa HAKUNA MATATA!
when I was there in 94 or so, a merchant was trying to sell me something and i didnt want to buy anything, He said give me a good price. I said one american dollar. he said you need to negotiate like a man! lol
I just love how this guy speaks and interact with the people
I have a lot of respect for him. He have learnt the language to break the ice. He is not regular tourist. I also can see that people have a lot of respect to him.
Thats why he is save. People know okay hes nit just a normal tourist..
I love the lady who stood up for you like "why are you yelling at the white man" good lady
"Huko kwao hakuna Jua" haha i like her.
Yh but the whites fail to stand up for blacks when this happens...
Omar X you are wrong about this. I have seen many white people stick up for black people. Maybe your views are biased and narrow minded.
@@omarxomarx8511 whites stand up for blacks all the time. open your eyes.
@@omarxomarx8511 Why somebody should yell at any innocent person? Regardless it’s gender or race? Unless someone is doing something really bad.

@@drewg6200
I think most Indians in East Africa are from a province in India called Gujarat and the language there is Gujarati
Just a correction. It was the 19th century, not 18th

They used to trade with the swahili people and the Arabs. It is very sad to see history being distorted by these Kenyans.

At last another video,Thanks man
Your video's have enlightened me to what Africa is all about, makes me want to go there. I can tell you are loving it!
Love these videos, showcassing my homeland..kunywa mnazi Tommy
at 1:32 i love the taxi, tuk tuk sometimes called, that had pot leaves all over the windshield, definately not america, i love it
Sabbatical what happened? Is the next video coming? The suspense is killing me.
Yo man! 😖😬 Can't wait no more!!😩
Viazi, okra with chapati? Interesting mixture.
Go to bamburi mtambo you will find some mnazi. Just take a matatu from town to pirate beach you will enjoy your time there. How I miss home.
this man speaks the truth...what he says actually is 100% perfecto.
That food looked wonderful. The cuisine of Kenya in general looks really
natural and flavorful.
Thank You Tommy! These videos are awesome!

You should have went to Malindi. Its very laid back and the beach is beautiful.
The Swahili language has a lot of Persian words in it and this is interesting to me👍👍👍
