- The second part of our visit to the local village of the Nambya minority ethnic group in the Hwange National Park area of Zimbabwe. We got together in a large open thatched hut where we met our hosts and learned about their way of life. Some amazing revelations, like how they bury their dead in termite mounds wrapped in a reed mats, that they use the sun to tell time, why they walk men first when they go to the fields in the morning, but women first when they return, and how spiritual healers use snuff to predict the future and perform rituals to correct wrongs. What a total privilege to be allowed in their genuine Nambya homestead and learn first-hand about their life which may be changing with the new generations.
Hello Nancy, I love your travel videos. But i have noticed a few things that maybe you don't realize are wrong and maybe the people are scared to let you know. I have been watching your video and there's a lot i can mention but I will mention just this one because i believe it is very important for you and your friends to know. WHEN OFFERED FOOD, IT IS VERY RUDE TO REJECT. This is the African way. Even if you feel like the food looks unusual to you, just have one bite. The preparation is made with nothing but love and welcoming warm hands. I love your videos, a lot
Hi Nyasha, I think when one has food allergies it's always gd to say no. And if one is working on their diet, which is sometimes from doctors orders, it's always gd to say no. My opinion
Thank you very much Nyasha! I think I know what you are referring to. Not an excuse, but an explanation... Most travelers are of advanced age with medical conditions. Some were experiencing pretty bad stomach problems and even one taste was scary. But we could have declined more gently with more of an explanation. For us here though, it's not rude to say No, thank you.
I appreciate your input! Thank you 🤗
Yu should allow those ppl to pronounce those poles as nhungos and mbariros
I wish to visit this place too and meet this family 🥰🥰🥰😍😍
It was really a wonderful visit. I hope one day you make it there! Very glad you enjoyed the video 🤗
Why do these visitors want to know about the rural people of Zimbabwe? Just asking.
That's the whole point of traveling 😉 learning about different cultures is a huge highlight. It helps us better understand our world, opens our minds, and hopefully help us become better people. Especially now that our planet is becoming so homogenized, learning about unique lifestyles is both valuable and very interesting! 🤗
Thank you but I still feel it can only be fair if visitors like you can try and film urban life in African countries to show the world that Africa is civilized and to change the perception and the narrative about Africa in general because those from first world countries don't know that there are other places that are developed and up to do black people. I do not mean to offend you but that's my opinion.
Amazing 👏👏🙏🙏 really enjoyed. Ty
Thank you so much! I'm very glad you enjoyed it 😊
I have watched a few videos of Zimbabwe/Rhodesia. The only conclusion anyone can come to is that the people would rather sing and dance than apply themselves to development. Maybe there is a better way of life than having a commitment to working and improving the lot of the population. Maybe the population is not interested in improvement. Most so called third world countries, suffering from famine/poverty etc are to be found in tropical and subtropical climate. Does tropical climate lead to letargy
As you can see from the video, even simple tasks we take for granted, like running water, are much harder and time consuming for these communities. They walk everywhere and actually work much harder in their lives than most people in developed countries with all the comforts we have. It's to their credit that they have the spirit and energy to sing and dance!
You do show that you are not familiar with the current situation of people in Zimbabwe. that is why you call yourself ' the mad farmer'. Zimbabweans aresome of the most industrial people around this world.
Depends what you call development. It would be terrible if they were to end up like westerners.
What a beautiful and educational part two.
Thank you again Jongwe! Yes, it was a very interesting and pleasant visit. Thank you for watching 🤗
@@NancyIoannidis Will you have any more videos on your experience in Zimbabwe?
