Рет қаралды 45,637
Күн бұрынAfter leaving Samburu we head to Nairobi and land at East Africa’s busiest airfield, Wilson Airport. We spend a few days resting in Nairobi before we head to our next African country: Tanzania! We clear customs next to Africa’s tallest mountain Mt. Kilimanjaro. Our final destination of the day is only 6 minutes away at Dolly estate. We drive Rosita’s trusted Land Rover Defender into Arusha and do an oil change on the aircrafts Rotax engine!

These last couple of videos have been really special. Special because it's wonderful to see you fulfill your childhood dreams and especially special because they have shown how life is in a part of the world that we, the people who are part of the so called "western world", not often get to see. To see the excitement in a little boys eyes when he sees someone who comes from afar or how proud the local guy at the Dolly airfield looked when he washed your aircraft... This series is about your story of flying a little high wing aircraft across a continent but it is also about the life that is so unbeknownst to most of the world. And even then, we only see a tiny part. Very hard to imagine what it must be like if this is your life. Keep it up! I love this series! :D

@NixHarpinger Жыл бұрын
That was actually just a dust devil. In most cases they are tiny and harmless compared to a tornado because they are created by an upward flow of air and a tornado is basically a giant whirlpool. And as un-intuitive as it sounds, light winds are actually more likely to form a dust devil, opposed to a tornado where you need strong, opposing winds. Lastly, dust devils are usually very short lived - typically lasting only a few minutes, so Bambi and her twende were actually a bit lucky to get such a nice shot of one. :)

I have always wanted to fly, but I have had a speech impediment all my life, so though I still want to be a pilot. Anyway, I listened to how fast you talk, and how fast ATCs speak, and wondered how my Kenyan English will keep up with ATC from other countries. 🤣Listening to Kenyan and Tanzanian ATCs,.. I can see I wasn't wrong. We speak our English much slower here in East Africa. I'll need to train my ears. Great video and thanks for sharing this precious journey of yours. Elephants, planes, SpaceX Dragons and Teslas are my special interests. Great to see two of these loves in your video.

Surprised to see how black that oil is after just 50hrs? I once did 14 trips between Kapstadt and Pretoria= 14x1450kmx2+1. My Honda's oil, even then, looked refinery fresh, a golden sheen. The car had 134,000km on the odo. I usually changed oil every 5000km plus filter, all synthetic, but this time, I simply had no time. Every trip was non-stop, just stopped for fuel & padkos, no sleepovers.

Twende ...means hurry up in swahili.. i lived in mombasa in 1992 . we spoke plenty of swahili which i forgot after i left. used to say '' akkiamungo takubeka wewe'' ..wafferwa ..kuma mako. and many nicer words which i forgot of course. you should speak swahili for the camera girl ! we love your videos and its all amazing work your doing. your heading to South Africa . my favourite country . greatings from Somalia.
