I love this photographer. Such a beautiful world we live in. My grandfather was born in 1900 he visited Timbuktu in his 20s . He was enamored of the place.
I was there 40 years ago.. crossed the Sahara on 3 of the 4 routes. Mali and the Dogon country were highlights. Unlike so much of Africa, it looks like it hasn't changed much. Traveling is probably easier now (I crossed on an empty sheep truck heading north from Gao that kept breaking down and walked two days to get to the Dogon villages along the falaise). Honestly though, my impression is that Mali is far more dangerous these days. Marvelous photography and cinematography. Respect.
@@joelgoldsmith4747 I think you could say that. Now that I think about it, along with the Rasta men of Ethiopia they may be more concerned with the spiritual dimension of life than any other peoples in black Africa. Though most would call them poor, they're quite proud of their culture. A friend and I smoked grass with an "homme sage" who impressed me deeply. Above the masks that fit on their faces, are attached two parallel pieces of wood... one represents the regular world and the other a coexisting spiritual world. I have a magnificent example of one by my front door that I bought in Capetown. In a continent with a lot of incredible, and highly affordable, art their carvings are highly regarded. This film showed warriors dancing in them. If you go to Mali these days be careful... It's dangerous.
It's logical to "Respect" the Spirits of the Wild Animals they have Killed ! It could go Either Way in a HUNT ! The Animals Lost. The Salt laden Camels Trains is beautiful Optics ! Just Wondering if W.W.F would called it Animal Cruelty ? 🕵️
Timbuktu reminds me the tale of an American Robert Christopher's Hitch Hicking Across the Sahara. I really like to see Timbuktu, In Salah, El Golea, Tammanrassat & Boussada.
This travel video resonates with me a lot because I love finding the nooks and crannies of the places I visit. Whether you’re a frequent traveler or a novice one, you’ll always find secret places when you’re traveling.
Your photography is stunning? I have been looking at TH-cam videos of the Sahara Desert, trying to figure our why people think it is beautiful. Well, I’ve found out! Breathtaking!
Quit playing the victim. This guy is a film maker. So every documentary about America done by foreigners has no people visible. You just sound jealous and uneducated.
That's because theres already an overload of photography from the US, compared to other areas. What would be the point in someone from Africa going to the US for this, they already see the US in their media all the time.
I loved this video. Great photography and a great story. I am curious to know when this was filmed, considering the safety situation in Timbuktu in recent years.
Well done to all, who created this beautiful video. Majestic scenery, rich culture. I admire those hard working people living in an inhospitable environment. Thank you.
Can you imagine if they came to the U.S. & started putting cameras up to our faces to take pictures of us? Americans would be so offended. It reminds me of the old pictures I saw of certain "different" ppl that were put in cages for all to look at. I don't know, it just gave me that feeling.
great video. when was this created? (not published). mali is too dangerous now especially near timbuktu. we were supposed to go in 2012 and there was a coup right before
Nigerian river is integral to the people. Everything happens at the river. Nigerian river is the third largest river in Africa. Deposits silt making fertile land, which is essential to agriculture. Mali was the bread basket. The Nigerian is a focal place of activity, wash clothes, wash their goats, fishing
Sahara is a third of the African continent. It's a severe environment. But there are highways across it. Armies go back and forth it. Berbers are permanent resident of Sahara desert.
Nile river runs nearly 7000 kilometers, make it the longest in the world, but the lower portion of it in Egypt-----that 300 miles sector, from suez canal then extend south 300 miles along Nile river. there are 30 millions people live there on that very narrow arable zone along both side of Nile river. From now on, Egypt slowly evolving from a tranditional agriculture to a industrial country. you can imaging from now on, industrial factories will be constructed and in operation soon, estimate figure----thousands of factories will be completed in the next 20 years. that will be a great new for the local econ thrive, great improvement for indigenous inhabitants. on the other hand, it maybe a great harm to the enviorment. I hope not.
The Jordan River flowed through Jordan. Until the Israelis diverted its river bed in a way that it now flows through Israel. And now the Jordan River is no longer in Jordan but in Israel. So the Israelis should first return the Jordan River to the Jordanians. For at the moment, the Jordan River no longer flows through Jordan but through Israel. I think Israelis have enough to sweep in front of their own doorstep before they decide to “help” others. They are not as innocent as people think.
AT 23 minutes of this video, in front of those cranial skulls restored on the wall cliff, two guards were sitting there to protect??? and there is a young lady wearing dark color cloth on her upper body, there is a handcraft made----a vine/rattan basket in front of her, her eyes poise depression. where is the future for her??? and what about kids????
First they colonized African, then they created war, then separation by name and tribe , then control by aid , then watch and kill by technology and now they come back to take a picture as a tourist like a zoo . Each one reach one and teach one .

Arthur is so respectful and genuinely loving to EVERYONE. His eye for the essence is phenomenal. Thank you Tracks & Arthur ❤️

Are the 'Dogon people' and culture - really as 'Mystical' as some people
claim they are?🤔

Excellent photography! I commend you guys for the respect you showed to people and the culture. I just admire the humility you guys displayed.
Humility? A condescending word to use. Who do you think they are?
Timbuktu reminds me the tale of an American Robert Christopher's Hitch Hicking Across the Sahara. I really like to see Timbuktu, In Salah, El Golea, Tammanrassat & Boussada.
One of the best travel documentaries ever made! Congratulations!
Art Wolf is one of my favorite artists. A great video, people, camels, dunes, sky. Thanks.

Awesome thanks for sharing
I can't imagine any African traveler visiting the US and taking the citizens' photos at random.
But, you gotta remember. US is just a single country, other than you confusing yourself with the second largest continent on Earth
It is so bad
Yep.
Very unique position. Imbalance.
Quit playing the victim. This guy is a film maker. So every documentary about America done by foreigners has no people visible. You just sound jealous and uneducated.

Awesome adventure and photoshoots! Amazing!
Awesome video and introduction to Mali....beautiful photography! thank you
Beautiful and definitive scenes of Mali
¡¡GREAT DOCUMENTARY, BUDDY; I APPRECIATE YOUR PATIONS AND YOUR HEART TO ALL OF THIS, LOVE IT, YES INDEED!!
greetings from California, USA!
I loved this video. Great photography and a great story. I am curious to know when this was filmed, considering the safety situation in Timbuktu in recent years.
beautiful part of the world 🌎 and the people!
This is a really good film. The country an people are beautiful. Would be an awesome trip to see this
Incredible work! Thank you for making education beautiful!
Well done to all, who created this beautiful video. Majestic scenery, rich culture. I admire those hard working people living in an inhospitable environment. Thank you.
It's why I prefer these cultures and places, I refused to visit Disney land. I rather spend my money to enrich my knowledge
Jesus, what a beautiful documentary.

Great film, extraordinary geography. Thank you .
Yet another documentary about Mali 🇲🇱
lovely camerawork.....well done.
Beautiful and timeless photos 😍
Amazing ❤
No mention of the Dogons astronomical mappings? Europeans really can't admit that natives weren't primitive and stupid.
This is really REALLY unique.
so enjoyable and wonderful Docu! Thanks! 🤗🤩
Beautiful photos!
Sand is beautiful, extraordinary
¡¡WOW, WHAT A SHOT 👍!!
So lovely, it’s nice you can travel to these places.💕💕💕
Great video.
beautiful absolutely gorgeous.
So Beautiful 🤩!!!!!
My people so Beautiful 😍
Try something from East Africa, Kenya especially. Amazing culture that.🙌💯
Beautiful
Thank you
Excellent ! 💖🐅🇬🇧. Love it
Timbuktu gateway to the Sahara . It was a trading point
And the height of craziness is that there are some who want UN sanctions on this poor country - it’s criminal to put sanctions on this country!
I love mali
Amazing stills. Canon Full Frame? 50D?
Classic image
The colors! Wish we still wore same in the west. Not since the 70s have clothing manufacturers given us colors
Why is tracks obsessed with the desert 🏜 😩
Beautiful film and photos, very interesting, too
Fabulous!
Please please upload these videos in 4K
It's wonderful....!!!
great video. when was this created? (not published). mali is too dangerous now especially near timbuktu. we were supposed to go in 2012 and there was a coup right before
Whoa!! Much ❤️
What do u mean by edge

People always say they dont have internet electricity and what not but these people are in tune with god and the land
😍😍😍
😍👍👍😎
What was carried by the camel ,very heavy it seems
These are the remains of the songhay empire the Mali empire empire is long gone ❤
Thanks to the British rulers who brought from Africa pearl millet and sorghum to India which has become a staple food.
It’s nice but I find u should have the instant photo and leave a photo with them too because they don’t have a photo of themselves
And you know this because ?
Wow
Hai bro
They have so little yet they're so happy.
Lamist unique

If you have no better way,so lam have answer and work culture to spend your life peacefully.
Islam ☪️ is peace and prosperity in this world and hereafter
Hi 🤗❤️
Islam so beautiful 😍😍 I am proud of my religion
😀❤️❤️🤗🤗
Are you also proud that the slaves had to run away and live in the mountains because they weren’t Muslims?
@@razeka62 haters stop hating others believing allaha or creators infidel
Ummm @ 11:35 those aren't sheep they're goats... how can he not know that?? 😂😂
you'd think yoy'd take your bleddy cap off when entering a home, Yank, you seem a nice and kind man, but etiquette is important
Israeli agri-technology and vast experience can help poor Mali change these desert lands green and productive.
The Jordan River flowed through Jordan. Until the Israelis diverted its river bed in a way that it now flows through Israel. And now the Jordan River is no longer in Jordan but in Israel.

Excellent photography again. The white man is not a good guide of Mali though. You can't mention Timbuktu without their education history
how much did you pay them for this intrusion into their privacy?
CARAVAN
There are Dogan who speak English, why not request one of them to assist you in understanding their culture?
News inner Mongolia
🕋💕💋 by now things could have changed garibi the great insanity khavumit
لكم اشباه وسؤال كيف يزاح
Bad quality camera 📸
How dare you tell our story
First they colonized African, then they created war, then separation by name and tribe , then control by aid , then watch and kill by technology and now they come back to take a picture as a tourist like a zoo . Each one reach one and teach one .
Dog on country retains their culture
so much beauty here , excellent photography, but maybe too many selfies of two average white guys.
Two average white guys who are doing the extraordinary which you haven't done and would probably never have the guts to do?
Another Mali documentary about Mali
🤣🤣🤣 does it ever end
