The ongoing human rights abuses in the Central African Republic are well documented by numerous credible international agencies in the kind of details no fly-by-night UA-camr would be able to acquire from a brief stay.
You went to the country where I was a Peace Corps Volunteer for 2 years!! Mbaike was the town where I was stationed. You spoke with Joel, who was much younger and one of our teachers at ISDR, where we learned French and Sango before being sent out to our stations. Man, you made my day!!! Thanks soooo much for this video!!
Thank you so much for the video Jayson, I was touched, almost cried. Africans should stand up and ask their leaders to set up policies to develop our countries. I was surprised and disappointed by the extreme poverty in this country while it is one of the richest countries in terms of natural resources. Almost every part of the city is way underdeveloped than our poor rurals in Rwanda, what their leaders have been doing over more than six decades.
You can’t imagine how much joy this vlog series has brought me. Your exploration of this rather secretive nation and all your content from Africa is extremely valuable and important. Love your work!
I like this video, the Central African Republic is my country. I love my country despite the war organized by politicians and France, I hope that one day everything will be better and that we will attract tourists to discover the Central African Republic.
There are tourists visiting. I am one of them. Central African Republic is an amazing country with lots to offer tourists. If only it wasn't for that terrible war many more people would be visiting.
@@symonwanjohi3294 There is a flight from Nairobi (with a brief stop in Kampala) to Bangui. www.kenya-airways.com/plan-and-book/destinations/africa/bangui/en/ Unfortunately flights in Africa are absurdly expensive. I checked the flight price and it's 1039 American dollars round trip. It's cheaper to fly to Cameroon and visit from there (Douala is 574 American dollars from Nairobi round trip)
Wow! I am from Central African Republic and living in Bangui! I am impressed by your courage! I have never experienced my country the way you did. Great!!!
@@bailabgroup9018 Good. I recommend you a website. If you want to learn everything you can about politics, and how to improve your country, I recommend this website. It's called 4chan. People say that it is a racist website, but it's actually not the case. The place is just realistic about the problems that Africa faces. Sure they will throw the "N word" around quite frequently, but it's all just banter. If you want to learn about the problems with your home country, please visit the website. You'll find it to be quite good.
I spend 3 months at berberati and 8 months at sibut, 1 months at bangui, total 1yrs I spend at Central African Republic as a peace keeper from Nepal. I love this country n miss the people too..
Thank you for your service during those difficult years my country had gone through. I have few friends Nepalese working for UN right now in C.A.R. I left the country 15 years ago to pursuit my higher education in USA. Thanks God today, people like yourself are devoting themselves to assist my country to get out of crisis. Please contact me anytime for any human networking. naguisted@gmail.com 🙏
@@westmax8491;thanks so much man? You just corrected a notion in me which was that African soldiers keep peace in Africa while soldiers from other continents do same in their continents, but you have just changed all of that. Thank you so much for this piece of information. I appreciate.
Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!!! It's so hard to find vlogs about the CAR!!! And your film, even if it is filmed somehow "on the run" and "hidden camera" style was for us more captivating than a Hollywood blockbuster! You have a unique, superb narrative style and what you are saying is so interesting that the images don't really matter!!! We are planning our vlogging trip to the CAR for 2019, but are a little scared about the costs and about the safety. We want to go to the Dzangha Sangha NP and there's a long way until there. And my wife is blonde and attracts a lot of attention :)) Thank you for a fascinating vlog and for sll those useful infos and images!! Now I can picture myself pretty well what to expect!

Traveling in the Southwestern part of the Central African Republic is very doable right now. Go. You won't regret it. Here is my trip report from last July. www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/topics/bangui-to-bayanga-dzangha-sangha-to-libongo-by-road-july-2018-part-1
Thanks for the feedback. You can stay at the catholic mission in Bangui. I stayed with a local I met, as you know. I didn't go to that national park, but I heard it is popular with tourists.
Your wife is blond and attracts a lot of attention? Hahahaha. Have you guys been to black Africa? Anyone who is not black will attract a ton of attention in the Central African Republic because tourists are almost non existent there.
To this day, these kind of videos you can’t find on UA-cam, or just people making them, these are golden videos thank you for showing us real un edited tour videos
@gritt orisen i ,m trying to decide what African country as a second home. i am from the usa, diapora. this city in the the rural area from the city? farmland is what it seems. i love it. seems so peaceful
@gritt orisen i appreciate your thoughts. i have to visit different African countries first before making a final decision. a colonialize country is not at the top of my list. because of the riches in the land is why the france colonized it. theives. i hope to at least visit, if not live there. what is the gov. doing about this? when are they going to end the france hold on CAR.
@gritt orisen i will try to download it. thank you. i just can,t help but feel i want to pray for their situation to change for the sake of CAR independance from france. and a stronger government. so sad this day and age.
I swear, this Jayson is the bravest and most courageous travel vlogger I have ever seen, for going to CAR. WHO GOES TO CAR😳😳🙄🙄🤔🤔. Bro you have guts and I admire you for that.

people are the same where ever you go, they just want to live in peace and support their families with gov help, if needed. clearly transporation system is needed. why do people like to film the poor parts of an African country and make it seem like the whole country is low income. rural parts of any country is low income mostly and farm land.
I’ve watched literally hundreds of travel videos in Africa and this was by far the best. How in the world did you get around with no guides and you seamlessly fit in with the locals. Outstanding and nerves of steal I might ad. Incredible video.
I never used any guides in Africa except for meeting locals and then connecting with couchsurfing members. But there weren’t any members in this country, so I just made friends at the church. Yes, I had to be brave many times in Africa. I ended up visiting all 54 countries down there and now just need to edit all the footage.
This dude is the chillest travel planner alive. He showed up and didn't have a place to stay or a flight back home booked and yet it just worked out. I'm impressed. And I'm glad the churches were so hospitable to you.
Thanks a lot for this amazing footage .I am from Central Africa Republic but I left the country 2 years ago and I'm studying abroad. It's very hard to find documentary like this unless it's about war . living abroad I realised that many people don't know the central Africa republic ,they always mistaken when I answer this question : "WHERE ARE YOU FROM ".they think I'm from congo or I'm from south africa. Since they decided to change the name of the country that was "OUBANGUI " TO "CENTRAL AFRICA REPUBLIC " leaders ran the country like their own business. They are subjects and obey to FRANCE . What you've seen in this country is just the results of fights among politicians for their own selfish interest and don't care about population. I'm glad you showed out to the world truth and what is really going in the country.
I am intrigued by Central African Republic. My late father passed through CAR by land when it was still a french colony on his way to Chad. I would like to retrace his footstep and visit CAR one day. Thanks for the video.
You can visit. If you do visit I recommend you visit the Dzangha Bai in the Dzangha-Sangha reserve. It's one of the world's natural wonders. I visited last July and it was amazing. Here's a video on it ua-cam.com/video/TzBYT79-oPE/v-deo.html
@Tony poundbury, true, but to be honest all countries could be so much more, if they had the right leaders and the right goals. But unfortunately one true fact about government and people in power is this, once in power you will want to maintain that power and keep that power, by any means necessary.
First! You are amazing for going there. It is really hard to find travel videos from this country! These areas are known to ban filming in public and they give you trouble if u do!
He had a lot of trouble filming. You can see people there in the video getting mad at him. I have never been anywhere where people get so mad so fast as CAR for taking a picture or filming. This is impressive he got so much good footage. I have never met Jayson, but seeing how he interacts with people he must be a very cool dude.
@@shawnreed7876 Yes. I have watched it now. It was very good. Even better than I expected for such a short trip. I understand the many reasons for so many people being against the camera in Central Africa. Especially with CAR being known as one of the poorest and least touristy countries.
@@armwrestlingfan6804 I went to Dzangha Sangha Special Reserve and while there the park director showed me the records of tourists who had visited the park. 211 visited in 2017. At most 20 visited Bangui as tourists (there are a few who fly in to "check it off the list"). No tourists visit the North and East of the country. I can only think of 3-4 countries that get fewer tourists than that.
Jason: I found your vlog by happenstance, and, boy, was it captivating! - You're doing things the right way, mingling with the locals on their own terms, literally 'living of the land' & making friends along the way! - The old adage ''When in Rome.....'' is a fail-safe doctrine! How I wish I was there..... Had my own African experience in Ghana, - friendly, welcoming and beautiful people!.... Can't wait to follow your other adventures! Greetings from Norway💓 - BTW: Your vlog shows the _true_ value of the YT-platform!😉🤘
What a beautiful little girl at 12:47. I love this video and the people!! You are a respectful and brilliant videographer Jay and I love all of your work. Thank you for knowing that all humans deserve full respect.
What an incredible adventure - can't believe you just wander around on your own but it is fascinating to see both the inner city and smaller villages in the countryside. As you often find, the people have true character and it's amazing to see them getting on with their normal lives in such difficult surroundings. Keep on travelling man, hopefully things will be back to normal soon!
Wow - thoroughly enjoyed your vlog. I lived in CAR for 3 months a long time ago. It was especially great to see M'baiki where I spent most of my time. I loved CAR and its wonderful people. Merci!
All I heard him say was negative things seems to me you want to talk bad about Africa but remember you went there and we don’t appreciate you’re negative Africa is beautiful 55countries #I love my African people
African people's prayed to Voodoo Voodoo is Evil we Blacks suffered cause voodoo I think we have a Curse because of them and Our own people Sold us out for Penny's I don't trust them
I spent 11days in BANGUI and over three weeks in CENTRAL AFRICA WHAT I liked is the Snake soup peanut butter with termite very delicious I have travelled almost 65%of AFICAN CONTINANT one should have the strength and courage but an eye opener now I am in India and by watching these wonderful movies and recollecting my good old days in AFRICA THANKYOU SIR
Thank you! I love the way you get in touch with the people and how you explore, visiting the university, talking to the professor, the church and the choir... Would also love to hear more from the people talking about their country. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Thanks for the video 😊 I'm about to go work there on a project for few months. Before watching this, I had no idea what the country was looking like. I like how you make fun of people there while they are making also fun of you 😂😂 But I think you have been lucky ..
To say the true un is there because they always take their resources when central Africa is rich but all those un is there for those countries resources
@@albertx2146 i,m from usa, apart of the Diaspora trying to decide which African country to buy second home. this area really calls to me. can you give more info of this area where Hotel Deschutes de boali?
Wow what a great vlog! You will be surprised to know how I found your channel. It was because of MSFS (Microsoft Flight Simulator). I picked the CAR as a random place to fly around in and i alway want to know more about the culture and history of a place. So I searched here on YT and found this excellent video. Thanks very much! The way you effortlessly mingle with the locals is something I envy, I can learn a lot from you when I go on my travels! Liked and subbed and look forward to seeing many many more vids from you! Take care, be safe!
Thank you for making this video. I plan to visit Bangui in September 2023. It was pleasantly surprising to see you walking around and making journeys on your own. This gives me some assurance that the security situation isn’t perhaps as worrying as I had thought it would be. The scenery looks as beautiful as I imagine it will be. And the people, as throughout the whole of Africa, so incredibly friendly - if perhaps a little suspicious.
The ones we get here in Europe are usually garbage, specially the ones coming from Central and South America. Way too early picked, garbage. However, in may-june we get decent quality mangoes from Cote d'Ivoire, Senegal and Burkina Faso for about $1.00 each. Those are the only decent mangoes I get to eat here. If you wish to start a business with mangos take me with you, I'm a fanatic of good mangos, but not sure how much we can actually import if I'm going to eat most of them. :))))))))
Literally I had to watch video twice 😁 I don’t understand French (English subtitles 😉) but it was fascinating to see conversations with the women outside the church, talking to guy carrying woods on his shoulder and talking to a guy who presumably works at palm oil processing facility. I just find the accent and face impression very calming. An absolute treasure of a video, very rare!
Thank you for the video, I am impressed by your French. CAR has three problems, 1 landlock country, 2 French interference into local politics and 3 the corruption of the politicians. I grew up in Bangui I was gone for 35 years or more I can't believe what I saw 3 years ago civil wars totally destroy the country. I have hope for better days head for the country and people of CAR. God bless you
3 of my best friends are from there and they have taught me so much about there people and culture, they are teaching me to speak sango right now and its proven to be pretty difficult for me lol
From my perspective, it seems that the UN and the EU arrive and throw money around to hire enough Africans to protect their own corporations in resource extraction activities which mostly benefit Europe or North America. It seems like such a beautiful country.
I adore Africa. I've always been intrigued by the not so visited untouched places in remote Africa. Central African Republic certainly leads them, as it's smack bang in the center of the African continent, like the name suggests. I appreciate your efforts in braving to explore this unique nation and I look forward to do the same sometime hopefully sooner. If not for the civil war, there are some beautiful natural places here like Dzangha Sanga National Park, St. Floris National Park and more. Hope peace and prosperity returns soon by God's grace to this beautiful nation !!!!!
A country totally destroyed by france and it's alies...hey european countries ...you can not do like that here in Asia...we are so strong and more strong and eastern europe is poor either
Hi, great video. Sounds like you are from downunder where I am stuck right now due to virus lockdown. Your t-shirt from Vietnam brings back a few memories, looks like we could have passed each other. I'd love to visit CAR, you've done well visiting there where hardly anyone manages to go. Wishing you good luck on the road, Jayson.
Thanks. I live in the US. I got the Vietnam shirt from my host, John, who was wearing it when I met him. I later gave it to my friend in Uganda. So it's getting passed around quite well.
Just come across this Channel and this travel vid is amazing. I’m going to embark on my first African Country this August, first stop will be SA and with luck on my Visas, crossing fingers, hope to traverse further North. Thanks for the inspiration.
Where are you from? For me it was maybe the most interesting place I had ever been to. Beautiful country with some amazing sites in it. Hopefully they can stop killing each other and stop getting exploited by foreign powers. CAR has a lot of potential.
@@Therongunner I met a Namibian in CAR who was there for work. My brother who I dragged along to CAR was in Africa for the first time. When the Namibian learned this he scolded me. He said I should have first taken him to Namibia which he called "Africa for beginners" (he also said I was giving my brother a poor impression of the continent). Haha. I have never been to Namibia but from what I have seen (youtube) it looks like a nice place.
Very interesting. Thanks for going there and putting this up. CAR is a remote country hidden in the mid of Africa. I always wanted to go there. It looks even worse than Burundi or DR Congo. But they have amazingly nice churches. Hope vthey can recover someday from all this mess
Your video is condescending. Your observations come off in bad taste. You are in one of the poorest countries in the world. You should have known before hand of what you would encounter.
One dream for me would be visit Centrafrique, I hope in the future have the chance of it. Greetings from Mexico, all my blessings and best wishes for Central African people
@Chris Nguyen i not consider the wish to visit CAR as a rare wish. It's an blessed and cursed country, it deppends how it takes. CAR is the least polluted country in the World (specially the air pollution), many interesting places (Chutes de Boali or National Parks) and they have so much and interesting resources like diamonds, gold, exotic wood, uranium, coffee, chocolate, fish, etc.
Vídeos como esse se torna minha paixão quero dizer amo tudo isso ,mesmo não sendo ninguém, me identifico com esses vídeos era tudo que eu queria viajar e conhecer essas gentes .
great documentary Jayson..you really get into the pulse of the people and empathise with them making this a very heartfelt bonding-type of educational video which gives us a gut feel of how they feel and live.
For sure i have liked how illustrative u are and your observation skills as in paying attention to detail. Your being down to Earth in order to gather the information you want is really amazing! I also like to navigate different parts of the world. Warm regards from Uganda
Wow this was very touching. I honestly didn't know the situation was this worse in some parts of Africa. Much love from South Africa, I hope things will get better sometime sooner

@@shawnreed7876 Yes. I have watched it now. It was very good. Even better than I expected for such a short trip.
I understand the many reasons for so many people being against the camera in Central Africa. Especially with CAR being known as one of the poorest and least touristy countries.
@@armwrestlingfan6804 I went to Dzangha Sangha Special Reserve and while there the park director showed me the records of tourists who had visited the park. 211 visited in 2017. At most 20 visited Bangui as tourists (there are a few who fly in to "check it off the list"). No tourists visit the North and East of the country. I can only think of 3-4 countries that get fewer tourists than that.
He said he also went to Chad 😁 more than excited to see that video whenever it comes
Shawn Reed it’s good as well they don’t have tourists.
The hospitality of our African people is second to none.
you're right
16:33 The girl in the Kenyan Wrist Band....Felt so proud to be kenyan. #Ubuntu
And the girl is an African beauty as well #Ubuntu
I wish she comes to kenya and enjoy freedom
Anatuwakilisha huko.
Wah just by looking at Central African Republic, Kenya is honestly a heaven.
Mko sure huyu si mkenya ako hustle CAR?
Jason: I found your vlog by happenstance, and, boy, was it captivating! - You're doing things the right way, mingling with the locals on their own terms, literally 'living of the land' & making friends along the way! - The old adage ''When in Rome.....'' is a fail-safe doctrine! How I wish I was there..... Had my own African experience in Ghana, - friendly, welcoming and beautiful people!.... Can't wait to follow your other adventures! Greetings from Norway💓 - BTW: Your vlog shows the _true_ value of the YT-platform!😉🤘
Thanks Eric for the descriptive comment. I’ll keep posting eventually when I get more time. Greetings from Austria. Sorry for the long delay to reply.
Very beautiful place thanks for uploading from kenya 🇰🇪
Thank you, Caroline.
What a beautiful little girl at 12:47. I love this video and the people!! You are a respectful and brilliant videographer Jay and I love all of your work. Thank you for knowing that all humans deserve full respect.
Thanks, I spent a lot of time editing the videos.
CAR had been under french colonial grip for 400years and is still under french monetary colonial grip as we speak :(
this is blessed land needs good leaders.
Correct
What an incredible adventure - can't believe you just wander around on your own but it is fascinating to see both the inner city and smaller villages in the countryside. As you often find, the people have true character and it's amazing to see them getting on with their normal lives in such difficult surroundings. Keep on travelling man, hopefully things will be back to normal soon!
Yep, I enjoyed those 5 days. You never know whom you'll meet along your journey.
Best video of this country on youtube 10/10
Thanks, it is hard to find footage of this country online.
@@jaypiper2 true
I love the way they shaking hands
Me too
Did i spot a KENYAN flag on the wrist of the lady at 16.34? Wow.. nice video Jay, love from Kenya.
Kevvy Kev I saw that too, proud kenyan.
Yes, I spotted it.
the heart of Africans welcoming a stranger to their home wow, amazing
Amazing country
You are very brave . Good video
Thanks, it was a fun trip.
Same!! I love to visit those countries, but to imagine being there...
I was praying for him.
@@ladyq4832 Why do you think he needs your prayers for visiting this country? He would need your prayers if he were visiting America.
Wow - thoroughly enjoyed your vlog. I lived in CAR for 3 months a long time ago. It was especially great to see M'baiki where I spent most of my time. I loved CAR and its wonderful people. Merci!
Wonderful country
All I heard him say was negative things seems to me you want to talk bad about Africa but remember you went there and we don’t appreciate you’re negative Africa is beautiful 55countries #I love my African people
Right? His twist on the episode in the Taxi came across rude, arrogant and condescending
African people's prayed to Voodoo Voodoo is Evil we Blacks suffered cause voodoo I think we have a Curse because of them and Our own people Sold us out for Penny's I don't trust them
@@janet.oboutte1349 You are right on all points
What do you expect from white man
@@lovalarolland6316 No need to turn this to a race issue. He is just very naive and inexperienced.
I spent 11days in BANGUI and over three weeks in CENTRAL AFRICA WHAT I liked is the Snake soup peanut butter with termite very delicious I have travelled almost 65%of AFICAN CONTINANT one should have the strength and courage but an eye opener now I am in India and by watching these wonderful movies and recollecting my good old days in AFRICA THANKYOU SIR
Thanks for sharing
*I LOVE THE CAR* God bless them
Me too
Thank you! I love the way you get in touch with the people and how you explore, visiting the university, talking to the professor, the church and the choir... Would also love to hear more from the people talking about their country. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Thanks for the compliments and for sharing what you though of my video.
16:39 the lady is adorning the Kenyan bracelet, much love my fellow CAR people
yeah, she lives in Dakar now.
That KE bracelet seems to have travelled far and wide. Caught that and had to check the comments.
@@jaypiper2 do you have her contact? Am from Kenya.
@@nakurusportschannel4211 Yeah, she's my friend.
@jaysondudas,would link me up with her?She's so adorable.
Thanks Mate for posting. Great to see videos of countries I will never get to see !
Try and visit Africa. Too much in Europe and America.
Anytime bro. I’ll keep posting
At 16:32, glad to see that lady with a "Kenya" arm band.
kabisa.... lazima tuwakilishe
Yes, her friend gave the arm band to her.
Thanks for the video God bless this part of Africa, we are together from Zambia
Thanks for the comment
Thanks for the video 😊
I'm about to go work there on a project for few months.
Before watching this, I had no idea what the country was looking like.
I like how you make fun of people there while they are making also fun of you 😂😂
But I think you have been lucky ..
Got robbed by 6 dudes among whom 2 was armed. LoL
But still i like it in here ..
Going back in my country soon tho
@@NoWayToHell Seriously??
Did you get back from your work project?
What a wonderful documentary! Well done.
Thanks
To say the true un is there because they always take their resources when central Africa is rich but all those un is there for those countries resources
Nooo we have corrupt leaders and we as Africans believe in them ..Africa's problems are selfmade no need to blame other people
@@albertx2146 i,m from usa, apart of the Diaspora trying to decide which African country to buy second home. this area really calls to me. can you give more info of this area where Hotel Deschutes de boali?

@@rafiqa1621 ohhh 🤦♂️🤦♂️ sorry ey
Wow what a great vlog! You will be surprised to know how I found your channel. It was because of MSFS (Microsoft Flight Simulator). I picked the CAR as a random place to fly around in and i alway want to know more about the culture and history of a place. So I searched here on YT and found this excellent video. Thanks very much! The way you effortlessly mingle with the locals is something I envy, I can learn a lot from you when I go on my travels! Liked and subbed and look forward to seeing many many more vids from you! Take care, be safe!
Wow, thanks for the story. Yes, that was a fun trip. I was glad the locals were friendly. Glad you found the video helpful. I’ll work on more videos.
@@jaypiper2 Totally looking forward, your demeanor and presentation style are just next level :-)
Every persons has a smiling face and those who spoke English are fluent in it. I'm so impressed
I was impressed too
Thank you for making this video. I plan to visit Bangui in September 2023. It was pleasantly surprising to see you walking around and making journeys on your own.
This gives me some assurance that the security situation isn’t perhaps as worrying as I had thought it would be.
The scenery looks as beautiful as I imagine it will be.
And the people, as throughout the whole of Africa, so incredibly friendly - if perhaps a little suspicious.
Just ask the locals. They know which areas are okay and where to go or not to go.
Africa has soooo much potential
Yes correct
Your video actually very natural and I like your voice and the fact you were nice to everyone around you and they been nice to you
Thanks for the compliment
24:17 5 Cents for 6 Mangos?? Damn!! I should import Mangos to Europe 🤑
The ones we get here in Europe are usually garbage, specially the ones coming from Central and South America. Way too early picked, garbage. However, in may-june we get decent quality mangoes from Cote d'Ivoire, Senegal and Burkina Faso for about $1.00 each. Those are the only decent mangoes I get to eat here. If you wish to start a business with mangos take me with you, I'm a fanatic of good mangos, but not sure how much we can actually import if I'm going to eat most of them. :))))))))
It would be better to help locals to do that
Yeah, they were so many mangos in CAR.
This is a wonderful vlog! Thank you for sharing this country with us... so rare.
Yes, rare destination.
i found a lot of people from C.A.R. here it's so funny they actually have network connection
So many people from CAR, where?
@@jaypiper2 in the comments
@@user-ow8gh5hc1e Oh yes, it's hard to believe.
Literally I had to watch video twice 😁 I don’t understand French (English subtitles 😉) but it was fascinating to see conversations with the women outside the church, talking to guy carrying woods on his shoulder and talking to a guy who presumably works at palm oil processing facility. I just find the accent and face impression very calming. An absolute treasure of a video, very rare!
Thanks. My French is poor, but I manage to still communicate with the locals.
Thank you for the video, I am impressed by your French. CAR has three problems, 1 landlock country, 2 French interference into local politics and 3 the corruption of the politicians.
I grew up in Bangui I was gone for 35 years or more I can't believe what I saw 3 years ago civil wars totally destroy the country. I have hope for better days head for the country and people of CAR.
God bless you
What do you think can be done to permanently stop French interference in CAR?
Thanks for your comment and explanation.
I was wondering what it was like in the CAR and thanks to you I got some insight. Thanks for sharing this with the world ❤
You’re welcome, thanks for stopping by my channel.
wakenya wamepanda mbegu mbali sana
😁wamlambezz
English?
3 of my best friends are from there and they have taught me so much about there people and culture, they are teaching me to speak sango right now and its proven to be pretty difficult for me lol
It’s a challenge to learn Sango.
I'm sad that our people in CAR are languishing yet resources are going elsewhere.
From my perspective, it seems that the UN and the EU arrive and throw money around to hire enough Africans to protect their own corporations in resource extraction activities which mostly benefit Europe or North America. It seems like such a beautiful country.
It’s sad
Reminds me my childhood life. I am Kenyan who's childhood experiences are similar to this village
Thanks for the comment
16:37 why does she have a Kenyan wrist band
Wondering the same! Kwani ni Mkenya?!
She just loves us!
Labda chali yake ni mkenya
I don't care why, she has it and seeing that made me feel so proud ...+254 tuko kila mahali.
She must have met a Kenyan in Bangui. Remember there are many Kenyans working with NGOs in Bangui.
John's brother is cleaning a shoes for you, it shows the high level of love and friendships, love African people
Yeah, they are nice people.
Thank God for Namibia 🇳🇦
Yeah, good country
Found this vlog as I was curious about the CAR. I love your vlog and you have a nice and friendly voice :) Have a great day! Just Subscribed!
Thanks for the compliment and for subscribing. It’s always nice to hear from subscribers.
In dose country, everything is overloaded
I see. I just wasn’t used to it.
I adore Africa. I've always been intrigued by the not so visited untouched places in remote Africa. Central African Republic certainly leads them, as it's smack bang in the center of the African continent, like the name suggests.
I appreciate your efforts in braving to explore this unique nation and I look forward to do the same sometime hopefully sooner. If not for the civil war, there are some beautiful natural places here like Dzangha Sanga National Park, St. Floris National Park and more.
Hope peace and prosperity returns soon by God's grace to this beautiful nation !!!!!
Yes, I thought CAR was the most unique and original of the African countries.
Hi i don't know why you keep film some people when they ask you not to film them
come on men respect their right be respectful !
It mostly seemed like he stopped filming when the asked
He did stop
I did stop once I understood them.
Wow nice guy and nice video and also good guy I liked woooooooooow best camera
Thanks. It’s a Sony FDR-AX53
A country totally destroyed by france and it's alies...hey european countries ...you can not do like that here in Asia...we are so strong and more strong and eastern europe is poor either
👍
I am really amazed how French colonizers managed to teach all the people of this remote rural country to speak French back in those days...
they built churches and primary schools
Yeah, churches and schools help them learn the language.
16:29 that lady is wearing a Kenyan bead bracelet,
Yeah, my good friend.
We should welcome her in Nairobi
This is the best vlog that I have seen so far. It has been a year I am searching for vlogs relating to Africa and its countries. Good job, man...
Thanks for watching. Yeah, people have difficulty making vlogs in Africa.
search for Wode Maya. He is a youtuber.
9:44 she is beautiful
Yeah, I didn’t get a chance to talk with her.
Hi, great video. Sounds like you are from downunder where I am stuck right now due to virus lockdown. Your t-shirt from Vietnam brings back a few memories, looks like we could have passed each other. I'd love to visit CAR, you've done well visiting there where hardly anyone manages to go. Wishing you good luck on the road, Jayson.
Thanks. I live in the US. I got the Vietnam shirt from my host, John, who was wearing it when I met him. I later gave it to my friend in Uganda. So it's getting passed around quite well.
South Sudan and CAR. There is literally nothing in those countries
But still interesting enough to visit, I must say
Just come across this Channel and this travel vid is amazing. I’m going to embark on my first African Country this August, first stop will be SA and with luck on my Visas, crossing fingers, hope to traverse further North.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks for watching. I hope your trip goes well.
Oh my goodness! It looks like it is a mess everywhere in that country. I would never go there.
Where are you from? For me it was maybe the most interesting place I had ever been to. Beautiful country with some amazing sites in it. Hopefully they can stop killing each other and stop getting exploited by foreign powers. CAR has a lot of potential.
@@shawnreed7876 I'm from Namibia. I'm perhaps not as adventurous but, the CAR is a whole different level of chaos.
@@Therongunner I met a Namibian in CAR who was there for work. My brother who I dragged along to CAR was in Africa for the first time. When the Namibian learned this he scolded me. He said I should have first taken him to Namibia which he called "Africa for beginners" (he also said I was giving my brother a poor impression of the continent). Haha. I have never been to Namibia but from what I have seen (youtube) it looks like a nice place.
BOYCOTTED CAR
I love it..I am from there
Very interesting. Thanks for going there and putting this up. CAR is a remote country hidden in the mid of Africa. I always wanted to go there. It looks even worse than Burundi or DR Congo. But they have amazingly nice churches. Hope vthey can recover someday from all this mess
Yes, I loved their churches.
Your video is condescending. Your observations come off in bad taste. You are in one of the poorest countries in the world. You should have known before hand of what you would encounter.
oh, sorry. Give me an example.
@@jaypiper2 LOL. In my opinion you were much too generous in how you portrayed this dump of a country.
Thanks for showing this reality ans attractivity. Welcome in africa plenty of simplicity
I love the simplicity I observed.
This was extremely well done You covered a lot in a short time and the photography was really good Thank you
Thanks for the compliments
One dream for me would be visit Centrafrique, I hope in the future have the chance of it.
Greetings from Mexico, all my blessings and best wishes for Central African people
It was a good destination.
@Chris Nguyen i not consider the wish to visit CAR as a rare wish.
It's an blessed and cursed country, it deppends how it takes. CAR is the least polluted country in the World (specially the air pollution), many interesting places (Chutes de Boali or National Parks) and they have so much and interesting resources like diamonds, gold, exotic wood, uranium, coffee, chocolate, fish, etc.
Vídeos como esse se torna minha paixão quero dizer amo tudo isso ,mesmo não sendo ninguém, me identifico com esses vídeos era tudo que eu queria viajar e conhecer essas gentes .
English?
You seem like a very humble guy who can get along with just about anyone. The video footage was extordinary, great job!
Thanks for the compliments.
So exciting!
Too exciting sometimes.
great documentary Jayson..you really get into the pulse of the people and empathise with them making this a very heartfelt bonding-type of educational video which gives us a gut feel of how they feel and live.
Thanks for telling me how you felt about my video. I’ll try to make more videos.
For sure i have liked how illustrative u are and your observation skills as in paying attention to detail. Your being down to Earth in order to gather the information you want is really amazing!
I also like to navigate different parts of the world. Warm regards from Uganda
Thanks for the detailed compliments on what you like with my travel style.
I love your report. It's the first report on CAR moves me like that. Thank you so much.
Anytime
May be peaceful all the Central African Republic people,from Myanmar.
Thanks
Wow this was very touching. I honestly didn't know the situation was this worse in some parts of Africa. Much love from South Africa, I hope things will get better sometime sooner
Thanks for watching
You are very brave man! Kudos, you managed to capture the real essence of the place .
Thanks for your compliments.
You are a brave traveller. Thanks for showing us a country we seldom get to see or to afraid to travel to.
Thanks for watching
This was like a movie , you are a brave Muzungu indeed. I am a Ugandan so I was happy to hear Eddie Kenzo’s music playing at 28 mins.
Thanks for the compliment that it was like a movie.
Am proud to an African because there is no place like home.
You're right, there's no place like home.
This guy is so unintentionally hilarious. I cannnttttt 😂
Who, me?
Fantastic video, Jayson! Of course, I loved seeing the old airplanes like the AN74 :) Well done!!
Sounds like you are an airplane fan. It seems far fetched that you had to watch a video about Central African Republic to see a video about the AN74.
@@jaypiper2 Haha I am indeed an airplane fan and you dont see many videos of those old Soviet planes, so it was Nice to see them in this video:) Watching your Sudan video right now👍😁
Watching from Nakuru city kenya🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪, as kenyan I saw a lady wearing kenyan wristband on her hand.
Yep, you saw it right. She had a Kenyan bracelet. Her friend gave it to her. Now she’s living abroad, but still in Africa.
very well done, i enjoyed this look into CAR. Thanks.
Sure, I enjoyed sharing it.
