My first motovlog from Tanzania is about being lost in the Maasai land. And all this thanks to my navigation app, which took me off the beaten track through local walking paths. It was one of the most unforgettable rides I've done in Africa. I'd have never been seen all of it if I kept to the main gravel road. I won't board you with much talking in this episode, I was too busy to take it all in.
Welcome to Tanzania
My first break
Since the border crossing
First 100 kilometers were
Exhausting
Just the road was crap
Lots of roadworks, lots of holes in the ground, lots of slow trucks
Dusty and
Yuck
But anyway, it's good now
And should be good from now on
So I'll have a little bit of rest and we'll hit the road again
Chillie's just there standing waiting for me

Hi, it's a big exciting day I've got 240 kilometers of unpaved road off-road only
I'm sort of I think 50k's into it and
I'm just taking shortcut after shortcut after shortcut and the road is just getting more
Narrower and narrower and narrower
So I think it's more for local bicycles more than cars I don't think people here have cars at all
In these villages that I'm passing by
And I think it's Maasai land there's lots of Maasai's around so
Very, very interesting ride
So, let's go
🎵
Okay
So most of the 350 kilometers on this little truck but
I think at the end I might not pass
Hello
How are you?
Hi
Main road?
Do you know?
How do I get to main road?
That way
Which way?
That way?
Okay
That way?
That way
All right
Thank you very much
Hello
Speak English?
No
Thank you
All right
We gotta get back
Where are we going?
I must admit
The best stuff you see
When you get lost
And I'm lost for about two hours now
And I think I've only done like
Maybe 20 kilometers
Because I just
Coming to end of the road I have to turn around
And then
You get crossings like this just rocks
And they're bloody tiring
It's hard work just getting lost
I still have like
150 kilometers to go or something
I don't make it today
I just want to get to the main-ish road
And I'll be okay
Six kilometers
It's gonna be like this
I'll stay here for the night
Creek again
No
Just rocks
Okay
Down and through the middle
Yeah
Do you have any problem?
No problem
I fall?
Yes
But it's okay now
Where are you going?
That way
To the lake
To the lake?
Yeah
Okay
If you have no problem
No problem
Okay
Thank you
Thank you for stopping
Nice of you
Thank you
Okay
