- - - First of all I'm in Tanzania I've already been a few days here and I've already lived with two tribes first with the bosquiman and later with the datoga tribe you can see the videos in my channel right now we are very close to the border with kenya and we have come to this territory we should have got here yesterday but we had a problem with the car It had something to do with the filter, which was spoiled, The thing is it took us hours and hours and hours to it took us hours and hours and hours to fix it standing in the middle of nowhere so we had to spend the night in arusha the nearest city and this morning we left for these lands we could only sleep for three or four hours because we wanted to see wildlife animals. Specially I was very excited to see giraffes, I wanted to see giraffes, but we haven't found any we saw some gazelles that have also fled away as soon as they saw the car. We're around here with Navar He is, as you can see, a Masai, you can tell by their He is, as you can see, a Masai, you can tell by their clothes, they mostly wear this these red and black looms and it is also very typical for them to walk with the cane. He more or less speaks English so he is going to help us. He is taking us to the buma where he live,s that is like poblado más allá además importante hemos talked to him and tonight we are going to be able to sleep with them, like them have a masai life, for example we could not sleep with the two previous tribes so I It is very exciting that we finally do it with this one, that will be the last by the way. as it told you in the video of the datoga, masai and datoga are eternal enemies but the masai population is bigger and they are good warriors. also the latest conflicts between masai and datoga were beaten by the masai who stayed with the land. In this buma they live five families and as we can see all this part from outside here is the one that men from the village are in charge to make which is basically security for livestock and then the little houses inside are the ones that the women of the populated make. Welcome this is the boma masai. This is were we live, In order to know how many families life in the boma you must count the doors there are 5 doors, so we are 5 families. Masai allow poligamy, you can marry as many times as many cows you have. 10 cows, 1 women. It's our culture, and everyday tasks are developed by men and women. [Music] [Music] [Music] well over here we have what is going to be our house for today notice that the houses are made of mud and branches. let's go inside that there there is very little light here our little house we are now inside of one masai house. we are already with the focus because they are really dark I think it is one of the more interesting tribal houses I've seen because it is quite elaborate with different rooms with nooks to store things even shelves like this that I am going to teach it because really impressed me. We have entered through this door, here is say there is on the left is the entrance Well, as you see, we have expectations because we are quite interestig for them. So this is like the hall let's say the main area here in the middle they cook the roof is made of branches as you can see so smoke can escape between branches. then as you see for example we have shelves around here to store things this seems quite enough interesting. it is quite difficult to show a masai house here because it is very dark. Then from the main area we have here the house let's say the part prepared for men here is going to be where we are going to sleep as you see it is in fact with cow skins and then some blankets on top and This is where the women sleep Navar and I are going to sleep here here we are going to share a home with the well the owner of the house that is this woman So let's see if we can teach what's behind of her then here she is like you are watching and this is where she lives this is your part with your bed and over here upstairs to see if I can record, more shelves where to keep more things as you can see is one super elaborate housing I haven't seen no tribe with such a dwelling made like this. [Música] [Music] as they tell us this is the jeep It is the way for traveling of the masai they use donkeys to bring water from the mountain [Music] [Laughs] [Music] [Music] well this place where they have brought us is some kind of cave they call ordul It is some kind of hospital and it is that masai people migrate to this zones, well, much further in fact towards Gorongo which is in that direction, also there's a place that they call the mountain of god where is her superior strength and it is where they go to pray There are different climates then when come back here they can come with diseases so let's say men come from the boma to here and they are here two months without going down to the boma without showering, only here, they go up with bulls to eat more or less like a bull per week. sometimes they go towards the forest but never towards houses, they stay here around here. they sleep here, a fire to warm up, and this let's say it's like your refrigerator when they kill the bull here they keep in his meet and around here they reserve the fat in those two months they feed only with a base of the meat of the bull or bulls and after some medicinal soups that they do with different plants that are here in the forest and also here you have this symbol of protection is very interesting because it is the shield with which they fight and the colors. Black is pbecause all the Masai are black they are black skin, white is because they say that come from milk, milk is their favorite food, and blue is from the sky because they believe their god to be there their superior force that encourages them They spend here a few weeks living off the bulls and their medicines but well I think it will be for another occasion right now we don't have the time They say they return back to the boma really strong because you can't get down until you notice yourself, let's say, that in your maximum strength that is with your best conditions and when leaving they can a bath in the river, they clean all their clothes and they come down with songs and with music as a celebration towards the houses. Some remains of the last bulls that they killed around here this is a bone of the bull over there we can see more and over here we can see more also, maybe you you are asking how they measure the days how the days count them. They are here and it is with these cuts that they do in the trees, as you can see, they are all full of cuts and it's a cut for a day this is like your calendar as you can see all of the trees of the area are full of cuts and these trunks that we have around here are the ones they use to make the medicine. They put them in the water and they make a soup out of these logs [Música] [Música] OK people, it took a few hours to walk [Risas] takes a few hours from walking from the nearest town, they asked us if we could buy some sweets like candy [Laughs] and we told them that of course we were going to go for some candies and then we have eaten them over there. The first time for coming to town, It was walking because they won't let us get into the car for things like that from the tribes. This time we have come already this time we have come a with the car. This children that are around here, this morning they were with the cattle with the goats with the sheep now they have returned, they have free time and we brought them the candies so they are super happy as always hallucinating with tattoos and that's it because the sun is setting even so as you see it is by end the day soon we will continue [Laughs] it is so difficult to take a frame of a child... as always this usually happens we can't give candy to everyone because they fight for them they stick for them but we need to form a queue - we bring you candy but really no child these areas has hunger, they have food to spare then this is more like a gift because yeah it is true that they never have candies if they will lack food we could help with food but what they really wanted was some sweets [Music] [Music] I have mixed emotions in these moments. I'm grateful for the gesture that as a welcome, they are going to kill a goat to make a barbecue for all, some kind of banquet for the family of the boma, for the bomb families us included, the part that I don't I like it so much, that it's going to hurt me, as i'm the guest I have to choose the goat that they will kill Maybe it's the same as when we go to supermarket and we buy it so many of you will say that it is silly but really have to put you in front of the animal and decide which one will be It's going to be hard and, they have left me here. God, I don't like it but they assigned me this responsibility.
+Good luck They are bringing the goats right now As you can see, there's a masai meeting here. They are seeing which goats..... I do not know hopefully they will choose. They told me that it has to be a male and big because it is for everyone [Music] [Music] it's really shocking how we are here traumatized by what we just saw and they are all here children playing while they are killing the goat helping to catch it even and for them, in the end, this is their day to day they see goats and for them this is food. It is true that now they want to use each part of the goat because, they are going to eat it, to drink their blood, similar to Musi, but that the musi do that without killing the animal. In this case, any time they kill the animal, they drink all its blood for the energy, for the health, for the strength that they seek to have. [Music] OK what just happened now, that I didn't had time to record, it because it must be part of the tradition. They eat it very fast. They cook all the goat except the kidneys, because they eat the kidneys raw, as we have seen, and they drink the blood look [Music] Well as we can see this is not the simple act of killing a goat but it carries a tradition behind with a lot of history and for example now they are telling us that the back from the tail and the stomach we have to offer it to the woman who has invited us to her home as an offering or gift They have also told us that the part of neck is reserved only for old people no one can eat it. Look that this there this that you are seeing is the offering that we have to give to the lady that has welcomed us to her home. It is all part of the tradition and though they are images that are hard to see, I am excited to form part of her Let's go. [Music] ah moments likes these really are beautiful to live. You can really feel like that you are one more here, that you are participating in it and I don't know, I love it. That's how they wash their hands. I asked them how could I wash my hands and they told me with the sand [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] in this pot we have around here where they have left to boil some very concrete goat part. There are also medicines that are stems and roots like we have seen this morning in the mountains and all of it surrounded by children, as you can see, in fact, one of them hasa machete with part is this. It's the liver. I don't care which part of the animal they give me, I'm going to eat it, the same person has killed the goat has given me this seat, he has put this in front of me offering the pieces so I would be unable to refuse to eat this simply because of the context. It's funny that even in this situation, when they are going to give me something they say by the way people we have all of this homemade alcohol eventhough it puts water of kilimanjaro, as you can see, it's not water, I'm going to have a taste. It's similar to the beer from Ethiopia, the beer of the tribes but is a softer alcohol and sweeter one of those things that you don't really know in what conditions has been made manufactured but we are in the tribe obviously it is not necessary to say about this animal that every day of his life he has been jogging and walking through the fields and mountains. So it has an amazing quality. I also love that they always follow the dynamics of a piece for each one. It is being distribued in the same order. These situations of the tribes bring out your wildest side this is another gift for the owner of the house were we are going to host tonight there is sugar and some cookies there's tea - if you can remember this is the bed where we are going to sleep. Well it really makes me happy that everyone is happy, children and even the dogs around here - [LAUGHS] They have just given him the last peace, and you have to take it as a way of respect. Well now it comes the time of the medicinal soup. There are some parts of the goat such as the stomac and medicinal herbes. generally in this tribe there is a very marked hierarchy you can see who's the boss, you can see the categories how they go down and I I just realized that when I am given a bone, in a way of respect, because I am the new to arrive and I I have to eat it until I am full what I leave, the small pieces of meat left on the bone are for kids after, so they can be what I haven't been able to eat. It's not something I decide, If I want to give them before they tell me, nonono, it's not until you are finished that you can give it to him I just follow the orders that they say, but there is a very marked hierarchy and in fact women, I think they have not eaten anything of goat, the only one that has eaten goat, or that will eat goat, is the lady that welcomes us. - - - - - Hello people, the day is going to start in the Masai town, in the boma, after drinking that tea with the cow 's freshly drawn milk. The masais are good warriors also and when they have to fight for something they fight for it. they fight Until the end they also protect until the end their cattle. even for example if a lion kills a cow or takes a cow Many times the Masai chase it and the lion is forced to run, I'll show you a clip In fact in the past, young masai they had to kill a lion with a spear like this to demonstrate their power to to become adults, they went alone with the shield and with the spear The Maasais stopped hunting because they are aware that with their large number they would destroy the wild fauna There are a lot of masai, also with the theme of the lion the government said they had to stop hunting lions even if it was for that tradition because lions were no longer that many and at this rate they were going to become extinct. So they stopped hunting it but not for them but for the good of the own lion. Because of this we will not be able to witness one of those moments although I still imagine it would be complicated if we can find many men in the boma, that in the past killed a lion in order to become an adult. cuentan un poco cómo fue We used this spear to kill the lion and we went in groups. We used spear and machete. The one that could hit the lion with the spear was the hero. When we found the lion we corraled it. If the lion came very close, we defended ourselves with the machete. The one who killed the lion, had to put its tail in the spare. We used this spear to kill the lion and we went in groups. We used spear and machete.

The one who killed the lion, had to put its tail in the spare. As you can see there are some Masai that have circles here on the cheeks and they are some kind of wounds that are made with rings they put on live fire then they create an open wound and so the flies instead of going to the eyes and ccreate diseases they stay in the wound zone. It is truly like cheating them creating a new pair of eyes here and well we say goodbye to the african tribes for this time I'm eternally grateful once more for how they have treated us, for how they let us have por cómo nos han tratado como nos han participated with them in the matters of the day to day even that older woman who has welcomed into her home she has given us each one a bracelet like this one because tradition also says that she says that just like I gave her that part of the goat and those sacks of sugar and tea she has to give me something before I go, as I say we say goodbye to the African tribes but not to tanzania because there's left one of the more demanding adventures probably. I'm going to escalate the kilimanjaro, so well as I say I hope you give a lot of support to these videos that you liked as much as the previous tribes video, I will return with tribes in the future for sure. So well Navar, see you soon
