ok was he being sarcastic the entire time? I don't speak Tanzanian but i'm assuming mafia is uncorrelated with the italian word mafia. I thought he was just beating the piss out of the mafia joke, but this guy often doesnt even know were hes flying to, half the time and only ever spends enough time in a locale for the plan to turn around, so maybe he actually took Tanzanian Mafia, to literally mean Mafia, when it turns out its an anglicized / corrupted phrase for Archipelago in Arabic.

Why fly to an island only to take off again without seeing much of the island. You should have taken a trip around with a guide, so that you will know more why the airport was built by the Americans in the first place.

It is often unavoidable that westerners will be charged more for things, sometimes double or even triple. $40 for a 10-minute cab ride in Dar Es Salaam, however, is way beyond that point. That is just theft, pure and simple.

Best to negotiate fare before getting in taxi. Have done this around Africa and in Eastern Europe. Meter is not used. Agree with other comments that you are making it harder for other travellers to get a reasonable fare.

Nice video Noel, you must have spent a few grand on airfares with this African trip? ;o) Only ganster on Mafia Island seemed to be the Captain pushing his seat back into your legs, he could have warned you first!

Take a pretty feeble joke (the name of the island) stretch it out, beat it thin, endlessly repeat and generally do it to death. Perfect recipe for producing a video that is neither entertaining nor informative.

All you had to do is ask for Vinnie! :) I've been running through your videos, had the opportunity to fly in the the worlds busiest airport - KATL Atlanta? My home airport I shoot aviation photos at.

Just about every airport in the world is Mafia Airport. ridiculous number of duty free shops, airport food and beverage prices, rip off currency exchanges, airport parking prices, taxi touts, etc.

Maybe try the other location. I think it was called War Criminal Island. I hear it's nice this time of year. Gorgeous beaches. exotic women. I don't think it's too far from where you are, actually.

Should've at least taken the Tuk tuk into the little village on Mafia. The Don lives in a villa on the beach and conducts most of his business at the only pizzeria on main street. Lol

I have to ask, politics and everything left out. Why do they not wear masks, but some do? And still check temperature? I understand why the airline differs to the rest. I'm just confused.

Mafia airport reminds me of Dumaguete Airport in the Philippines. In and out in about 20 seconds. You can see any luggage travelling along the belt from outside too.

I don't know how the island got that name, but nothing I know of it suggests Mob activity. My uncle worked there as Head of Fisheries for the Government many years ago.

Stayed on Mafia in 2018 for diving. Loved it! The south beach is beautiful and in the north you can encounter whale sharks. You should have stayed a night or two.

Noel, the mafia you are looking for is that taxi driver who charged you $40 for a 10mins taxi ride. Am sure you could have paid less than $10 and thats still alot.

When you were checking out for the return flight, I'm sure that lady, when she saw you Noel, said The Godfather! Listen at 8: 27! Asta la vista baby!

Leave alone the airport standard, The Mafia island is regarded as the best unpolluted beach in Tanzania. Best for snorkeling and sea mammals view

Nice one Noel. No cannolis, mannigort or mutzarell in sight (ref: The Sopranos. At least the First Officer sounded like he meant it, sincere.

Not your best Noel - a bit repetitive with the mafia joke - would have been better if you'd stopped over and featured a resort
