FLYING from KENYA to TANZANIA - Long Way South E09

[@65LB]

The excitement in your eyes, and voice along with the joy as talk about being "home" is fantastic! Watching you prove that . . . Life is GREAT!

[@PatrickSlosse]

Love this comment ❤️ It's exactly what I intended to write 😁 @LouB @Bambi you're a wonderful woman 🤩😘

[@cornwall_in_Squares]

Brings back happy memories of overlanding in Tanzania with a lightweight Land Rover, beautiful country. What a way to arrive too!

[@ingridmouti3680]

As a Kenyan, i am just so excited and happy to watch and get to experience this adventure with you

[@examplewastaken]

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

[@devon2084]

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH BAMBI, You're such a great bundle of joy.

[@PilotBambi]

Thank you!! 🤩

[@coppi60]

Agree!!~!!~!~

[@willonyaga]

I think I saw your plane parked at Wilson airport,wish you a safe ✈️ down south Africa

[@fadhilisaac]

Lovely episode. It's good to know that Bambi grow up in Arusha. I live in Arusha. Love from Tanzania 🇹🇿

[@luishenriquelimas9612]

9:50 a tornado almost on final approach 10:03 "wind is calm"😃👍

[@Pancake_Nix]

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. :)

[@tanzanite9944]

Nice.. Glad you are back to Tanzania the land o Kilimanjaro & Zanzibar and you are enjoying it to the fullest.

[@da20eclipse]

A most excellent adventure. I’d be broke flying my SLING, if I had to pay those exorbitant fees that you guys are experiencing. Thankfully, here in the States, the fees are minimal or non existent for the GA planes we fly. Blue Skies!

[@edwardhazelden6424]

Charlie Papa Tango whose hangar you borrowed at Dolly, is one of my greatest friends. We were there April 2022 and I got to fly with him a few times. The open unrestricted flying areas are so great in TZ. Safari Njema

[@spanish-chef]

Love the channel.... You inspired me to start my PPL at 52.... Thanks for the adventures and stay safe!! 🙏

[@PilotBambi]

That is awesome! So glad you love the channel 🤩

[@urisavoray1497]

Hey guys, hope this is not too late: that gasket (the 'brass ring') is single use, and should be replaced if opened. Reusing it can leave an oil leak. Soft landings!

[@unwoke1652]

I thought about that, but wasn't sure.

[@dogfalcon]

Some wait a week for a new episode of a series. I wait to see how this journey goes. I'm a PPL pilot. Love everything about aviation. Sometimes we think that everything have been done already...But then comes a story like this and makes us to want to experiment things like this and conquer even more! Amazing! Respect! Godspeed! That Sling HW is so cool. Wish I could afford one...

[@sida388]

Little tornadoes, also known as dust devils. Great trip. Fantastic coverage.

[@dennisk5180]

Another great video from you two. Isn't Wilson Airport awesome? It's a paradise for airplane enthusiasts. I remember when I was a kid my parents would take me to the aeroclub and I would sit in rapture because there was just so many planes coming and going. Mauritz is always smiling, camera in hand. I hope you enjoy(ed) your homeland of Tanzania. Looking forward to your next episode. Thanks for the great content!

[@coppi60]

I do hope that you guys will write a book about this adventure:) So enjoyable.

[@otuke1]

Awesome to see you flying in kenya and tanzania,

[@dennischretien2550]

What a great video. I love Tanzania. I have a house there with my girlfriend. I just returned to the USA on February 1st and your video. Awesome me want to return..... Asante Sanna!!

[@kyle604]

Seeing your excitement to return home was pretty special. Thank you for taking us along on this epic journey!

[@PilotBambi]

So glad you liked the video, I am so excited to that I can share these beautiful places with you!

[@maxplanck9055]

[@margauxrierson6042]

Ahhhh watching this video makes me miss home. I have lived in Uganda for many years and you traveling in familiar territory made me smile. Thank you for the amazing videos as always and I am really excited to see the Mt Kili video.

[@Radiohutch1]

At home for a few days with Covid. Dreaming of an adventure like yours. I love Africa and flying over it must be incredible. keep the great videos coming!

[@erickaryegon2204]

Wow you are so happy to be home i really enjoyed watching this video

[@ld5954]

It was so great to see your excitement of returning to the place where you Grew up! I'm sure you have many great memories to share with us in the next video. Looking forward to it! Thank you for sharing your fun!!👍

[@philipgledhill7227]

[@joseruiz-Joecool]

Y'all (as we say in Texas,U.S.A) are doing a great job of keeping us informed as your adventure goes on! Very excited with you to see your childhood home!

[@gary5481]

At last. Its that time of the week again.

[@PilotBambi]

yes!! Already stoked to share the next episodes with you all!!

[@BenjyO238]

Wow such a special part of your trip. I loved seeing you in your childhood car! Must be an incredible feeling to be back.

[@Cymoxx1]

Great to see you in my city Nairobi, I have been following your journey for weeks now.

[@jbbosselut]

So cool for you and a great pleasure for us !!

[@kevindelaney1951]

Lovely video update of your fantastic adventure. Indeed you two are living the dream. A dream the two of you worked hard to realize. You two do a great job of working the issues you face en route. Continued best wishes. Looking forward to your next instalment.

[@gorannilsson8319]

It´s fantastic to follow you and seeing your enthusiasm! I have enjoyed all of your videos and this last little trip is really amazing. Glad also to se your Fjällräven rucksack. I quitted my PPL 20 years ago but will probably start to collect more flight hours when retired. I you fly in to Gothenburg - ESGP (cheapest airport) - I will gladly meet up you both and bring you in to town. Looking forward to your next video.

[@roadrash7030]

My brother used to run a match factory in Tanzania and climbed Kilimanjaro many moons ago.

[@johngroome501]

Love you guys! Your passion for flying and for Africa is awesome!

[@PilotBambi]

Thank you so much!

[@Pancake_Nix]

@@PilotBambi This one was really special. :) And that shot of the 'tornado'/dust devil while the little plane zooms by was kinda epic :D

[@FlyingWithKam]

Love the technique of copying clearance onto your hand 😂 Thanks for sharing these! So cool to see how it is flying in Africa.

[@GaryLaaks1]

Nice video work and editing. My escape from the world for half an hour or so.

[@t.p.mckenna]

Oh, brill! I'll be back later to give this my full attention!!

[@dariustebby]

Wow, you guys are made me fall in love with these episodes, and i couldnt wait to watch this one where you land in my home country, Tanzania. Hoping to watch more videos of your safari in Dar es salaam and Zanzibar. And ooh! I live in Dar es salaam too, hoping to bump onto you guys, a beer or two maybe? 😄. KARIBU TANZANIA.

[@peteralexander5377]

Always exciting and engaging to watch your videos, see a tornado from the air, the oil change on the plane, a bit of your love story, the area of growing up with the old Land Rover and so much more. I can`t wait to see your next video - best in feature length in the cinema... All the best and greetings from Bavaria.

[@marcopavone8695]

What a wonderful dream trip! The only thing you are missing is a kneeboard to avoid writing on the hand 🙂

[@Mike7478F]

Great trip so far.

[@conradboss]

The last two episodes were very much worth watching❤...

[@PilotBambi]

Thanks! 😁

[@antoniocarluccio777]

I all ways carry a small funnel with a piece of suede as a filter before pouring gas into the plane if the gas comes from an unknown gas station. The suede will trap the dust and wont let water pass into the tank. It holds water in it.

[@snoopha3]

Excellent video shows us more flight plans

[@mikercflyer7383]

Great adventure beautiful country side. Looking forward to your mountain overflight.

[@PilotBambi]

Stay tuned for next week!!

[@warriorprincessharmony]

WHAT???? You are in Kenya? Are you coming back? Wish I'd discovered this channel earlier so I could way lay you at the airport for a quick hello. Wilson Airport is just about 42 kilometers from home, 42 minutes through southern bypass. Hope you had fun in Samburu. Wonder if you'd like to fly a baby elephant for The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. That would be awesome to see. Karibu tena Kenya on your back, na furahia Tanzania ukifika.

[@mortadelo152]

Hi, and congratulations on your successful return to Tanzania. Keep the blue side up! 👍😊

[@PilotBambi]

Thank you!! 😊

[@urisavoray1497]

That gasket (brass ring) should have not been reused!

[@PilotBambi]

@@urisavoray1497 you don't always have a choice when you're on trips like this unfortunately. We had the wrong spares with us, and spoke to the maintenance guys at Sling who said it was alright to re-use it. Luckily we had no issues with it during the rest of our trip :) Will definitely double check our parts bag before leaving on our next adventure

[@derrick_blak_]

Crazy Wilson my home airport! ;)

[@PilotBambi]

sure is a crazy place! How cool you get to call it your home airport!

[@derrick_blak_]

@@PilotBambi very cool indeed ;)

[@IcyWingsAviation]

I love to watch your videos! Keep it going!

[@donstravelsandrants.]

I'm absolutely loving the journey. That was plane heaven in Nairobi.👍😊✈️🛩️🛫🛬

[@rhthumper9862]

Awesome video! Really enjoy seeing your childhood home and car.

[@PilotBambi]

Glad you enjoyed it! Hope to make some defender videos too some time. Would be awesome to do a driving trip through africa with it

[@dzerhromejay2205]

I’ve been waiting for this episode

[@jackrolfson312]

It's been a few days since we heard from you guys last, thanks for your content. It's always nice to see where you been and the plans on where you're going. It's beautiful to see the countryside, and the place at one time that you called home. Love to see more interaction with your friends and family. Be safe and have a wonderful time as you visit that country.

[@hayabusah1009]

Great video i enjoyed the trip.

[@jfrotlund]

Wonderfull !!!!! :) Too bad that it costs sooooo much to GA around in Africa. Looking forward to a lot more from TZ. - I too grew up in Tanzania (and Kenya) and had my very first flying lesson out of Wilson. :)

[@_FNQ]

Love it! Tail winds and happy landings!

[@PilotBambi]

Thanks! You too!

[@kutendamakwamaya977]

If you do fly to TZ again , Please try land on Runway 14/32 DAR or if in Zimbabwe, Try 02/20 in BUQ.

[@theflyingfrog]

Great work guys! Your enthusiasm and your excitement is totally contagious… 😊

[@PilotBambi]

Thanks so much!!

[@skyrunner1818]

Hi Pilot Bambi - Great videos I follow with great interest. Intend to fly this route also one day and I´m wondering how I can learn from your experience other than your videos.

[@peripheralinkling]

Wow! What happened to that car behind you in the intro?

[@10msivana]

Sand spout not tornado. in Xhosa we call it isiTshingitshane😀😀😀 Anyway been watching all your videos. very nice

[@wavewaker2]

Simply beautiful 👏👏

[@warriorprincessharmony]

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.

[@domcp711]

So much fun watching!

[@PilotBambi]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@madmaxx1180]

Welcome to Tanzania🇹🇿 really hoping you guys go flying around Zanzibar Tanga and Mafia

[@PilotBambi]

Thank you!! Next video is Kili, and after that we've got a video about Mafia island :)

[@rameezissa3862]

I trained for my ppl and cpl here at Wilson Airport! 🔥👌

[@PilotBambi]

thats awesome! Such an epic place

[@TheHogibare]

"Bambi"! Your demeanor is so bubbly and your energetic smile is intoxicating. "Will you marry me"????

[@unwoke1652]

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.

[@luissol3964]

LOVE FROM SPAIN

[@iesikhaty]

What dates would you have been in Kenya? I stayed at my brother's right beside Wilson Dec 31 till Jan 20 and always watched aircraft movements from the terrace, wondering if I'd spot a Sling HW...of course fully aware that your YT videos are published after your trips.

[@VFRFlying]

That was a dust devil more than a tornado!! no way you would have been able to fly so close to a tornado, especially with a light aircraft!

[@PilotBambi]

haha yes you're totally right!

[@thijs.k932]

Wat een goeie reis zijn jullie aan t maken zeg! Geweldig!

[@michaeltatham4307]

Does the plane require a different fuel and air mixture? At higher altitudes, or is it automatic somehow? Thx

[@ralfkruse7565]

What i noticed at second vieuving, didn't you take out the two sparkplugs from the "higher" cylinders to make flow the oil easier. And after filling up to get it easyer everywhere whilst turning prop to make the engine" burp". At the 912 is about this, 915 i dont know..... But it worked as well your way.. Otherwise no video. See you next time.

[@jeroen2107]

oh hello there, Bambi girl. you took too long to upload next video..i didnt figure you stay 2 weeks in some of your stop overs. anyway, you must speak swahili having lived in Tanzania for 12 years. you are pretty much an African girl having lived that long in The continent. 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.

[@jamhuricity]

Hahaha...those are F*** words my friend 🙈🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

[@MrAzizisse]

@@jamhuricity haha i was about 6 years old at the time. according to my father we used to speak more swahili than our own mother tangue. i hardly remember anything except that it swahili is just a beautiful language. we lived in the outskirts of mombasa. we had very big mango trees all around the house. Kenya is just blessed. i wish they had a leader like paul kigami

[@MrAzizisse]

@@jamhuricity i wonder how i came to learn those words . lol.
