can't believe they let you film at that border! Brings back so many memories of me moving my family from central to the North...litereally crossed there dozens of times! Thanks for the patience and fillming you Legends
Well Well Well Mozambique !!! Such a beautiful country. I came here in 2013 and fell in love with the beauty of this country but it breaks my heart into pieces as i decide to close my business and say goodbye forever to this country, my friends, beloved clients and my ever supporting employees. I am seriously done with corruption here, nothing seems to be easy here in this country. They keep making it tough for strangers, you had to get 3 or 4 visas issued right? Can you imagine us working here dealing with Government's institutions is a serious pain and the time they take for simple things is beyond one's imagination. They really need to do something to minimize if not stop corruption in this country. What a beautiful place with lots of good friendly people. I see a lot of foreigners loosing their patience and if there are more people like me closing their businesses just imagine number of people loosing their jobs. Alone my Company is employing more than 60 locals here. I feel so bad for them!
I lived in Maputo for 5 years. Im from Zambezia. Now we are living in Sweden. My oldest Son was 10 years old we we came to Sweden. Now, He is a Police Officer here in Sweden. I follow Your trips in Africa. Beautiful videos and lovely Family. 😆😆😆😆🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
That’s so cool! I’m so glad to hear that you’re enjoying our videos from our 100 days in Africa! I wonder if it’s changed quite a bit from since last time you were there?!?
Iam from Zimbabwe once crossed the Mozambican border to Malawi the Mozambican officials didnt make it easy for us which was very different with the Malawian side.
Brother, Mozambique 🇲🇿 migration officers they operate copyright like Zimbabwean officer.they are very very corrupt. Iam from Tanzania 🇹🇿 also a SADC member I was travelling to ZA 🇿🇦 it was hard for me to cross the ZA 🇿🇦 Zimbabwe boarder😮😮😮
Surely the better idea would have been to have got a multiple entry visa before you left the US, I did when I went to maputo in Mozambique, then went to south africa through the komatipoort border I had no problem at all at the border both ways I am from the UK as long as you do things right then you should not have any problems
One of the hardest places to live ever, but one of the most beautiful places ever as well! so so sorry, loving this but feel for you guys!....If you ever return with courage here lol just reach out to us and we can share a bunch of safe contacts for you to enjoy inland Moz or Malawi...blessings!
I closed & Relocated my business from Mozambique because I couldnt handle the nonsensical red tape and constant corruption in Maputo/Mozambique. I'm very reluctant to recommend people to Mozambique for holidays because HONESTY & TRUST is a difficult concept in Mozambique thats besides the over priced figures for everything below standard conditions.
This is almost my favourite video with my tie for number 1 being Panama and Sri-Lanka. As a South African I can relate to the problems you have experienced.
That’s awesome! We have so many cool videos from our time in Sri Lanka coming up soon so I’m sure you’ll enjoy them too. Im sure you can relate. 😂😂It’s all part of the experience isn’t it?!?
Yup!! That's it Allright... We left Maputo, then )Lourenço Marques) in 75. We lost everything thing including family members. Would love to pass through, and visit what was home once, but I think I'll pass. Good to see that you guys made it throug, the experience will be with you for ever👍🤙
Damn the way you structured that comment really immersed me in the “Mozambique experience” You lost your family members… along with “everything” and just casually say it in passing, in a TH-cam comment on a traveling channel. Really gives the whole “human life isn’t really a big deal over there in good ol Mozambique”
Hello , you are going very nicely , congrats to your family . I've just inscribed , I hope I'm not too late to follow your adventures. Best wishes , I'm tuned on your channel. 👍🏾 I was born in Mozambique and I live in Holland. Wonderful journey 👨👩👧👦👨👩👦👦💪🏾👍🏾

Mozambique was amazing and meeting our "gardian angel" that night was such an experience and now a good story to tell. Was a little crazy though I must admit.
Hi, Peace! I am Robert, an American.. I was thinking of buying something in Mozambique in the near future.. Anyway, I came across your video and I just subscribed after watching.. I appreciate your efforts, I think it's great and wonderful! You're so brave and strong you and yours! Wonderful attribute to have as a women! Very patient you guys are, I don't know how patient I could be... I was thinking of partly retiring there in some years to come... I am interested in your story, you and your family... Well, very nice to meet you!!!

I wonder if the government or the cities would help fund for teaching various job skills or special skills, in order to help the culture grow??? (Have you seen any of this in your travels through Mozambique and Malawi???) I think if I partly retire there and buy a decent place, I would love to give to the country in that way, what do you think??? Great Video sis!!! Peace, power and prosperity, Love, and Joy to you and yours!!!! Respectfully, Robert
Hi Robert, Have you checked out other countries too? I'm not sure I would make this my home but I guess it all depends on what it is your looking for. We're working on a couple videos that will be launching in the upcoming months with different ideas for places to retire and why we think they would be good. Is there a reason you're looking at Mozambique? I'm really not too sure about the government funding but I do know in Malawi, almost all the people we met there were working with different organizations and causes. Thanks for the nice wishes. All the best to you and yours as well!
I know what you mean, it's (Mozambique) a bit low functioning in many ways as it is now, accept in the capital! So to speak.. I was looking at property there on the beaches and I love the beaches, looks and the fact it's right across from Madagascar, which is such a healthy ocean and farming, fruit and veggie, herbs growing area!!! I guess you're correct in a way, but as a man it seems to be a great opportunity to buy a decent beach property at a fair price and have a place in Africa, making, (Heritage, Children, family thinking in that way) as an African descendant in America, full circle for my little 6 year old son and possibly other future children of my family, if you get my drift... I am originally from N.J., but my descendent's originate from Cherokee and Mohawk indigenous people in North America to Ireland, to the Caribbean and in the beginning all the way back to West Africa... So ancestrally, I feel a spiritual yearning to recreate or reattach my family lineage back to the land, and if lucky be able to give in some way back to the people where ever I get too in Africa... So, I see you guys made it to Europe as well.. I have lived & traveled a little there as well... I guess you guys and I have a spiritual yearning! I think it's a great way to climb higher and super, well supremely wonderful for our children!!! (I didnt see your husband on that video, is he alright??? (He didn't get sick or hurt in your travels?) You guys only speak English/ American correct? (That's my only thing, is should I teach myself Portuguese?, Ya know) *For retirement in the years to come what I wanted to do, well in my mind, is to keep a condo or small home in Florida and someplace in Africa and visit some places like Thailand and Dominican Republic.. I have other ideas like a farm, actually saw some nice small farms with acreage in Swaziland.. Just thinking out loud, I'm an out of the box thinker and doer and a great researcher and I'm spiritual, so just striving to follow my inner light, ya know!!! ;-D Thanks for writing back, I do appreciate you for that! (Many people don't tell others appreciation, thank you or anything ethical anymore, but I like to always keep that heart lite as a feather, outweighing the negative in the scales of life (Egyptian/ Kemetan)... ;-D Well, you get time write back, I think it's awesome to communicate...

At 8:30, they won’t take less than an $50 bill in 🇲🇿, well in 🇹🇿 its worse, they wont exchange bills less than a $100, therefore only a $100, and on top of that, a bill that’s less than five years old. It’s maddening.
Two things!!! You have the patience of "Job" and you all are very very brave!!! I would have been so scared at the border. I try not to comment on the scary parts don't want to upset anyone. Please be safe. Enjoy your videos so much.
It's all about perspective and situation. You don't want to experience pickpockets in Paris for example! You seem friendly and respectful, I guess you knew these are not the proverbial "first world countries".
😓 hi, i really like your video. Im mozambican and Portugees but i live in Holland. Mozambique is a Beatiful country but corrupt, nothing is normal there . Thanks you for this video
I'm a resident of the Kingdom of Eswatini, but I have Malawian roots, since my grandfather originates there. So I went to visit the other family in Nkhata Bay, in Malawi. I went by bus via South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. In Zimbabwe and Mozambique, the official s at their borders are corrupt. They made people to pay just to enter their countries.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders Well it used to be a nice place… until the place came back under control of the… “indigenous peoples” South Africa in the 60s and 70s was ALOT COOLER Believe it or not… you would’ve liked the South African experience much better.. in those days.
Wow… I am just speechless. All that faith to have in the people in that country. A white woman and her two daughters… hitch hiking in Mozambique… by the border at night. It would be almost funny if it weren’t actually real life. Maybe try it in… Guatemala next. Or maybe BEEAAAAUUUUUUYIFUL Mosul Iraq! And the husband is like “wow the lights are off in a crowded grocery store where all these African people are staring at us… sure makes finding our goodies interesting!” Does that dude have any clue how quickly and ugly these situations could get in the blink of an eye? Get out of there.
Inept. Incoherent audio, too much of her, not enough of Africa. The currency of Moçambique is the Metical (pl. Meticais). Malawi uses the Kwacha. But congratulations to her for making the journey. The Moatize/Tete climate is 'baie warm''. But Moçambique is a beautiful country, trying to recover from a brutal civil war, wish them well.
Don’t worry. It keeps going out where we currently are at the moment too here in Malaysia. 😂😂 It’s not the country though it’s the place we’re staying in had a leak and it messed with the wiring.
You and your kids are so brave and calm to face those corrupt immigration border officers. Good thing God has sent His that Pastor to help you out! Glad to know you are all safe as well. Keep the videos coming, we are enjoying watching and learning from your adventures in Africa.
So Africa s never altered then!! I was born in Zambia in 1954 and was there 19 years before leaving for the UK. Really miss the place but not the poor TV reception or lack of electricity etc, certainly don't miss the snakes, have subscribed, have you done anything on Zambia, Zimbabwe or South Africa, the 3 places we went to ?
Lourenco Marques 1970 TH-cam video is a very emotional and sad video for the white Portuguese which Mozambique was their and then a revolution occurred and they had leave as refugees back to Portuguese with just their clothes and belongings. There’s two sides to every story but mainstream media will never talk about the huge injustice against the white Portuguese.
Sorry, but Injustice against white Portuguese? Are you sure? How could this be? Could you please explain to me please? I have a part of my family from Africa (probably from Mozambique or Angola) and another part of my family are Portuguese and Dutchmen and I have never seen whites in Brazil suffer (reverse racism and injustice does not exist). What we have is a great injustice against blacks for years in the history of Brazil. In addition to all the suffering you can imagine at that time (some blacks would rather kill themselves than live it), they still suffered after the end of slavery, as whites did not give them jobs, preferring to immigrate white Europeans, Asians and Arabs to work in factories, etc. Portugal also brought everything bad from Portugal to Brazil as its convicted prisoners: thieves, murderers, prostitutes and all sorts of people reneged by Portuguese society (one of the explanations of where corruption in Brazil come from), but that was better than giving jobs to black people. Blacks in Brazil have been less than 20 years old who have entered college, and there are still few who can. I never really saw injustice against the Portuguese, I really wanted to know how it was? After centuries of colonization in Mozambique, exploitation of land to enrich Portugal, blacks kidnapped to work as slaves in lands discovered by the Portuguese, it was obvious that independence would come and there would be a revolt of the people against whom they were colonizing. One hour everything bursts, like any history of independence from any other country. (Then people die, others are expelled and etc.). I do not know the whole history of colonization of Mozambique, but perhaps the injustice you see against the Portuguese were years of suffering of this people that broke out years later. Every action has a reaction.
You are a very brave lady.....I'm gifting you a private jet with pilots, crew, stay at any 5 star hotel around the world, all is paid and 350 million US dollar credit card
Chantel always try to get your dollars in small denominations and you have a lot of stamina to be taking all of that the kids have gotten worn out, and you have to have a flash light for all of you since they lose electricity in those countries and be careful of food getting spoiled, anyway i'm glad your all home safe and sound, Jerome from Florida.
Africa is corrupt. You have small bills, they will ask for large. You have large, they ask for small. Officials get a cut from the informal traders. Hard to believe Mozambique was once similar to the European riviera. Thats Africa for you. We have a saying in ZA. TIA - This Is Africa. now you get the phrase "african time". ZA is way more advanced than the rest of Africa but slowly degrading. Sad
I think it was $50 USD each of I remember correctly and we had to pay with $50 or $100 bills. What nonsense because in the end they took a combination of $20’s, 50’s and 100’s. Go figure.
Typical naive American traveller. Know very little about southern Africa before u came. Shoprite is a supermarket chain found in SA, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Namibia, etc. Dont even know name of the currency of Mozambique even tho u travelling there, its the metical.
I thought am gonna find some sensible infor. Why dont you talk of racial profiling that is rampant in US n EU borders? Wasted my time really, especially the low IQ type of narration!
can't believe they let you film at that border! Brings back so many memories of me moving my family from central to the North...litereally crossed there dozens of times! Thanks for the patience and fillming you Legends
Well Well Well

You and your kids are so brave and calm to face those corrupt immigration border officers. Good thing God has sent His that Pastor to help you out! Glad to know you are all safe as well. Keep the videos coming, we are enjoying watching and learning from your adventures in Africa.
What a testimony right? It was a God wink/angel that night. It was just amazing!
nice
So Africa s never altered then!! I was born in Zambia in 1954 and was there 19 years before leaving for the UK. Really miss the place but not the poor TV reception or lack of electricity etc, certainly don't miss the snakes, have subscribed, have you done anything on Zambia, Zimbabwe or South Africa, the 3 places we went to ?
It's the second failed state after Zimbabwe
60 Meticais is $US 1
Thanks! I use an app for currency exchange but I had forgotten to add this currency before we went to Mozambique so I had no idea. :)
yep...that border is alawys...fun..NOT!
Lourenco Marques 1970 TH-cam video is a very emotional and sad video for the white Portuguese which Mozambique was their and then a revolution occurred and they had leave as refugees back to Portuguese with just their clothes and belongings. There’s two sides to every story but mainstream media will never talk about the huge injustice against the white Portuguese.
Yeah it's quite crazy. We don't learn or hear about all the history these places went through. Thanks for your comment I'll check out the video.
I just watched a few videos. It's crazy...It's not the Mozambique we experience at all.
Sorry, but Injustice against white Portuguese? Are you sure? How could this be? Could you please explain to me please?
I have a part of my family from Africa (probably from Mozambique or Angola) and another part of my family are Portuguese and Dutchmen and I have never seen whites in Brazil suffer (reverse racism and injustice does not exist). What we have is a great injustice against blacks for years in the history of Brazil. In addition to all the suffering you can imagine at that time (some blacks would rather kill themselves than live it), they still suffered after the end of slavery, as whites did not give them jobs, preferring to immigrate white Europeans, Asians and Arabs to work in factories, etc. Portugal also brought everything bad from Portugal to Brazil as its convicted prisoners: thieves, murderers, prostitutes and all sorts of people reneged by Portuguese society (one of the explanations of where corruption in Brazil come from), but that was better than giving jobs to black people. Blacks in Brazil have been less than 20 years old who have entered college, and there are still few who can. I never really saw injustice against the Portuguese, I really wanted to know how it was?
After centuries of colonization in Mozambique, exploitation of land to enrich Portugal, blacks kidnapped to work as slaves in lands discovered by the Portuguese, it was obvious that independence would come and there would be a revolt of the people against whom they were colonizing. One hour everything bursts, like any history of independence from any other country. (Then people die, others are expelled and etc.).
I do not know the whole history of colonization of Mozambique, but perhaps the injustice you see against the Portuguese were years of suffering of this people that broke out years later. Every action has a reaction.
does look dodgy
sorry
No worries. We had a fantastic time!!!
Mozambican boaders are just too much corruptive.
Yeah..It would be nice to see a change. Maybe one day.
You are a very brave lady.....I'm gifting you a private jet with pilots, crew, stay at any 5 star hotel around the world, all is paid and 350 million US dollar credit card
And you are a very brave person to offer this. 😂😂😂
Chantel always try to get your dollars in small denominations and you have a lot of stamina to be taking all of that the kids have gotten worn out, and you have to have a flash light for all of you since they lose electricity in those countries and be careful of food getting spoiled, anyway i'm glad your all home safe and sound, Jerome from Florida.
Thanks! Yep...we had a guardian angel that night crossing the border and now a fun story to remember.
Wow you all acted like a bunch of Troopers and i love the way you were all singing in the car
Lier. The mini busses do not stop every 5 minutes

Yeah they don’t have their shit together in Africa. At all
What a story, but that’s Africa. Thanks for sharing.
The government from this country they are nonsense
Anyone knows the name of de
the BGM，plz tell me.
BGM at the very beginning
Too much story nothing impotanti thing
You took the trouble too comment.
Well done.
Africa is corrupt. You have small bills, they will ask for large. You have large, they ask for small. Officials get a cut from the informal traders. Hard to believe Mozambique was once similar to the European riviera. Thats Africa for you. We have a saying in ZA. TIA - This Is Africa. now you get the phrase "african time". ZA is way more advanced than the rest of Africa but slowly degrading. Sad
King corruption is all over the world
@@ninahmbatha1890 it's fcuking rife in Africa. Check out old Jacob Zuma. He just doesn't feel like going to court, he does go...
How much for the visas so sad think they want a bribe
I think it was $50 USD each of I remember correctly and we had to pay with $50 or $100 bills. What nonsense because in the end they took a combination of $20’s, 50’s and 100’s. Go figure.
Not worth visiting
I hope you are not a reisest even the evidence is in your words, you have issues be respectful please
Huh?
India 👌
Cool! Thanks for letting us know where you're watching from!
Typical naive American traveller. Know very little about southern Africa before u came. Shoprite is a supermarket chain found in SA, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Namibia, etc. Dont even know name of the currency of Mozambique even tho u travelling there, its the metical.
I thought am gonna find some sensible infor. Why dont you talk of racial profiling that is rampant in US n EU borders?
Wasted my time really, especially the low IQ type of narration!
That chip must be heavy.
U talk too much
Sorry. I hope you still enjoyed the video.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders oh sorry I didn't intend to hurt you
