Inside Africa's Largest Floating Village! (GANVIE)

- Inside Africa's Largest Floating Village! (GANVIE) is a video about me exploring Ganvie which is a lake village in the Benin Republic, Africa, lying in Lake Nokoué, near Cotonou. I take a trip to this village and explore how people here live. With a population of around 45,000 people, it is probably the largest lake village in Africa and is very popular with tourists. I definitely recommend this place if you are looking for things to do in Benin republic. Do like, watch and enjoy.

#ForAGreaterAfrica✊🏽
Thank you 🙏🏾
@@TayoAinaFilms Good job this fire
Thank you for bringing this to us, there’s a similar village in Ghana 🇬🇭 called Nzulezu
There are many similar cultures in Africa. This tells us Africans are indeed one ☝🏽 people 🖤🤝
I said am not going to watch RUclips today because I don't have enough data. But immediately Tayo notifications showed up. I can't resist. Let me grab my Pop corn
Take mine 🍿
Another beautiful piece from this great son of Africa.asante
I have been to Ganvie and it is a sight to see! There is so much to see in Benin - a beautiful country. Didn’t know that it is bigger than Makoko village in Lagos. Well done Taiyo. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
What took you there?
You are simply in your Own League as we discover Africa through Your Lense! Wow! What a loaded educational and informational video.
I am extremely blown by this information.
You're the BEST in African excellence in content creating. The experience you are giving us through lense is in a whole other level. Just wow!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks for watching. Appreciate you always 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I swearr
This was so fascinating.. everything is done on water. Incredible!
The same water is used for toilet, for drink, for shower, for garbage, etc...
@@rivartnorton6030But still they are alive and their population is growing...
The village has a lot to offer with friendly people.
I really like how original this video is. It's not too serious. I love it
Thanks for watching 🙏🏾
I can feel the peace in this place. 😇
This is a beautiful site. The people are beautiful, lovely, and friendly.
These videos makes our days better
It brings me back to 90s when I first visited the island what a nostalgia thank you for the video Tayo for good work and your passion for Africa.
A bro I gotta let you know man you guys are doing something fantastic
thank you 🙏
Thanks Tayo for sharing this VALUABLE and INFORMATIVE content of GANVIE lake village in Benin Republic with the global AFRICAN community! We are collectively CHANGING the NARRATIVES of every village, town, city, and nations across our beautiful Motherland one day at a time! 😊😊😊😊✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Our Yoruba family lol, it's fascinating mixing yoruba with french like when you pronounced the price in English and she had to say it in french.
😂😂😂 I was struggling to understand the French
@@TayoAinaFilms 😂
Your so open-minded nice point u picked up
They actually have their native language.the youbas are actually a tribe there and their dialect is quite different from the Nigeria yoruba.I speak one of the languages which is Ogu alada
But I was born in Nigeria,Badagry so lol yeh
Also not all them can speak French fluently just like some Nigerians can’t speak fluent English.so they speak pidgin french
Telling our stories by ourselves!😍Taiyo Aina much love.Africa to the world.
Thanks for watching! 🙏🏾
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Well done Tayo. I learned something new today 😁🇺🇲 Thx👍🏾
I just have to applaud Tayo for this world class documentary. Quality sound, quality pictures
If only I could subscribe more than ones...👍nice one!
This place is so amazing, clean and neat, thanks for showing the positive side of Africa to the world
Sorry, This is not clean man!
It can't be clean
Where do they get water for cooking?
This is a Photographer's dream ... 😍 all i see is a collection of beautiful pictures of people just living their daily lives in Ganvie .
For real.
If they know their stuff, they will blow the world with images from this place for days.
I love the love Mr Aina is having for my Country!
Thanks for visiting.
Your country is Beautiful bro!!!
Beninese would never promote Nigeria
@@AfriPrincess411 Nooo Pls....don't speak this way! We have a cordial relationship.
@@Nicholas-kn6hl not only relationship same traditions but many nigerians don't understand. Kudos to tayo aina for enlighten.
@@Nicholas-kn6hl they need to let my boy Sunday out though :cries:
And Nzulezu in Ghana, 🇬🇭 Ganvie in Benin 🇧🇯 and makoko in Nigeria 🇳🇬
Yessss
Tayo when next you go to Ghana kindly cover Nzulezu. Would love to learn about their history of their existence and what life is like of people in that community from You. Do us the honor in future 🙏🏾
Three books were written in the 1800s "The Tshi speaking peoples ", "The Ewe speaking peoples", and "The Yoruba speaking peoples". They give you a a comparative history of these three groups along the western coast
@@seismicvertigo345 Where can one get them. Please share. Will appreciate
Some in South Africa and Angola , guinea
I was just reading about Ganvie last night Tayo and here you've dropped a video about it. Thanks. I didn't realize it was soo big. And it's great that you added the history of the town as well. I love the ingenuity of their floating hotel and their carvings
Ikr. A floating hotel, how cool!
So nice to be introduced to another historical part of Africa. 🙏🏽🙏🏽. Venice in Africa 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Cleaner than Makoko, nice video.
Wow.. Similar to Nzulezu in Ghana 🇬🇭.. Bigups Tayo
This video is giving me vibe. I'm definitely going back to visit Benin and will visit here. Thanks for all Tayo♠️
It's heavenly...I love West Africa
It is black art and culture. Other parts of Africa are cool too :)
Thanks so much Mr. Aina watching all the videos you did in Benin Republic 🇧🇯 really brought a lot of joy to me honestly, because my mum is from there and all her family lived over there, she has no one here in Nigeria except my dad and us (her children) . She visits Benin once in 2 years or more, and we the children barely visit. Seeing this video, men i just want to explore all of benin and get more closure to my families over there too. Thanks So much sir.
Wow, beautiful. This should be my next travel destination. 😲
Tayo my brother.. Ur on another level now. Ur content and video..👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 Top notch..❤️🇿🇦
@tayoaina have been waiting please drop more videos of Benin
Tayo dude your content, research and filmmaking has grown immensely and you are a credit to Africa. Keep up the great work bro.
Thanks for showing the world this amazing floating village. You work is encouraging people to venture to these amazing places due to your content.
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Appreciate you taking the time to comment!
You sure are!
Thank you Tayo 😊 this is so good to know. And thanks for exchanging Yoruba with that banana lady 🖤
😁😁😁
Loved it! The fusion of French, Yoruba and English. The ambience, the people. I'll love to visit it one day. Oh and it's "Oui" for "Yes" not "Wi". You're doing an amazing job! Thank you Tayo. Merci beaucoup.
@@NG-fq5lf why not be technical ignorance is not a solution. Learning will not hurt you.
Ooh how I wish I can travel and explore the whole of Africa .one day is one day
O my! Tayo, this wad Amazing to watch.
I think you should submit it to the CAN festival competition under documentary section. 👌🏾👌🏾
The Makoko or Nzulezu of Benin not Venice of Africa 😂
Wode maya, they are the same people living Makoko 95 % are benin republic
@@edigeorge548 He meant we don't have to be using European city as a yardstick in this regard. Wode Maya is a pan Africanist!
I believe he said this- to give Americans a frame of reference - but now i have to go search The Makoko or Nzulezu of Benin 🏃🏿♀️🏃🏿♀️🏃🏿♀️
True!
What? Nzulezu is not in Benin I beg
Thank you for bringing me memory from my country. Now that i am in the United States, this brings me joy.
There's a place in Asia that's pretty much like this, the name escapes me right now, but they attract millions of tourists annually. I'm not saying this place should become a tourist trap, but it's sure got a lot of potential.
Another cool thing about African countries that I love is how the average person speaks 3-4 languages.
Thanks for another incredible video bro. Now I want to go visit Ganvie.
Yes, I know exactly what you’re talking about and that’s the first place I thought about when I saw this video.
The country I believe is Thailand and Damnoen Saduak is the most famous water market.
Tourists especially from Europe and America's bring alot of bad habits to local villages . . If the villagers are happy and comfortable let them stay that way
Nice one
A local woman can speak three languages. That's inspiring
Very! I was marveled too.
Don't forget her own local language making 4! A lot of Africans are multi-lingual for instance in parts of Benin and Togo people will speak various combinations of French, English, Ga, Ewe, Egun, Fon and Yoruba.
@@johnjackissorryinfrench7777 Yes it was 4
@@johnjackissorryinfrench7777 yeah.. that's crazy
A average south African from Gauteng province speak 3-6 languages .we Africans are amazing
A very honest presentation. Well done Tayo and keep it up.
I watch Tayo Aina vlogs every time and always learn something about vlogging.🙌🏿🙌🏿
Welcome to Benin Republic bro , you are doing well
Benin🔥. I saw this village in the Netflix documentary High on the Hog and I thought of you
Oh really. I need to watch the movie I guess 🙌🏽
@@TayoAinaFilms Yes you should. It traces how African American food is connected to its African food roots
We check it out.
But I'm happy this under Tayo's belt!!!!!!
I'm still waiting for the Porto Novo tour ( project sunghai) .
Another beautiful video, Thank you Tayo 🎉
Cool! The banana lady speaks many languages
She is probably Yoruba from Benin Republic.
Tayo, Omo Aina, how far youngman ? ? You're doing an exemplary job ! ! Keep 'em comin' ! ! Blessings & Prosperity 👉🏾👌🏾✌🏾👍🏾🙏🏾💪🏾
Another great video bro. Thank you for sharing 🙌🏼
look like I found another place to put on my places to travel bucket list, thanks for another amazing video tayo.
I have been following you for a while now and I must say, I'm inspired and humbled by your work. The sheer dedication and diligence that goes into all your videos is just amazing. Thank you for doing what you do 💪
Amazing Tayo ! I enjoyed every bit of the video.
Cheers!
Waoh so beautiful
Thank you for showing this quality video with the right historical narration and nice insight from my country. Bravo continuez comme ça !
It feels like something out of a book. Thanks a lot for making these videos, Tayo. I can’t wait to see more of what you do! ❣️
Another great video. Another beautiful an unique place in Africa that goes on my bucket list. Thank you Tayo. Keep it up.
If I’m counting well, the banana 🍌 seller is speaking 3 languages already 😅🔥
That is mind blowing. And her fluidity or change was just like, woooo . So beautiful to have experienced through his lense. Genuine organic interaction.
I will definitely visit someday
Again...thanks for this authentic content.!!
Thanks for watching 🙏🏾
Lovely content! Thank you you do to showcase African counties in good light and expose us to some great tourism opportunity in the continent.
I really enjoyed watching this video. Africa is a gem. My people. Wow, can't wait to travel
Do travel :)
It's so nice that Yoruba is spoken in other African countries Amazing!
This is Benin. They have Yorubas in that country who are indegenous
They have indigenous Yoruba population in Benin Republic.
Because you guys are talking about colonizers borders, get real
Fantastic you just keep raising the bar. I also enjoyed your vlog on the salt city. Cheers
Loved this and loved the people. Gentile ...particularly the market lady in the boat. True testament to resilience of Africans.
Another amazing one, bravo *great T* I enjoy your work. You make exploration easy fir people who like to explore. Bravo
Thanks for sharing this. Very informative.
Another nice glimpse into a fascinating culture!
Tayo, I love all of your videos about Africa. I'm binge-watching all of them! I can't wait to visit Africa next year! Great work!
This is unique and outstanding content! 😎 What a joy to hear of African people who evaded capture as slaves because of their strength and ingenuity. 👏🏼 It warms my heart to see the people of Ganvie maintaining so much of their original culture. Thank you for this enlightening video, great work! ☺️ Greetings from Southern California, USA. 🇺🇸👋🏼
There are many sites of refuge in Africa where people evaded capture into slavery. Mountainous areas were common places of escape. The Akoko region of South Western Nigeria had many settlements in the surrounding hills as the region was constantly raided by different armies for slaves. The Atakora hills in Ghana also served as refuge from slave raids.
This was beautiful. Very interesting.
Tayo for president! 🙌 Your film making skills are amazing. Good job on this one.
This is actually part of world history. I salute this heroic people, they are the pride of Africa!!!
Thank you Tayo, this is another educating piece.
Those who disliked this wonderful docu…ain’t in a place of peace. Heal haters! 😂
😂😂😂😂
I want to say THANK YOU so much for this incredible video. It has shown me how it looks like in different parts of this world.
You keep documenting cool & good stuff Tayo. I'm addicted to your story telling & film making skills ... I wanna be like you when I grow up ... 😃😃😃
thanks alot Tayo Aina I had tears of joy thanks Sir peace!!!
Such a Great video, loved hearing about the history of this village 👌🏾
I am from Pennsylvania and my African wife (Benin) took me there and I loved the place.
Amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Nice one Tayo, interesting ND different. Love yr contents ND yr pasona keep doing yr thing u will grow bigger ND obtain yr rightful place.
When I thought have seen it all here comes another thing to make me sounds like an ambulance wow wow
Great to see you are doing the water tour even though you are starting out in Benin republic. These are delightful episodes.
There's a place like this in the boundary between ondo and edo state in Nigeria...I think the name is arogbo...
Amazing documentary Tayo. Rich culture here. Thanks for sharing this
Well done.
This is my best channel on RUclips. Well done Tayo. May you do greater things
That was really lovely and I see the intelligence of it all. Africa is blessed.
Thanks for your video. It is hard to find information on Ganvie, I appreciate having something to see!
Very insigtful video indeed. Thanks!!
Very informative video. I'm learning so much about Africa that I don't get in the US. The perseverance and creativity of the African people is a testament to despite the circumstances we have the capacity, fortitude to survive.
Tayo!!! You are INCREDIBLE!!! Documentary about Africa?🙈
Tayo its the same people at Makoko Lagos lagoon. Same people at Nzulezu Benin republic, some tribe in Benin Cotonou are Yoruba speaking, we were separated by maps.you can paddle your canoe from Lagos to Cotonou within ours.
TRUE 💯👍
But how did they get to Nzulezu which I understand is in Ghana. That one is confusing me
Nice video, man. Thanks for the exposure. May God continue to bless you richly in Jesus name.
It looks like a place i can visit it looks like an adventure and relatively clean.
yay another video!!!
Visited Ganvie back in 2019. It is an incredible place and certainly worth a visit.
