  • 🎁 Thanks to Temu for sponsoring this video, download the Temu app temu.to/k/b07da857 and search the game code “off9377” (US only) to win free gifts! Anyway, I recently spent a month secretly learning the rare Maasai language and then visited a rural Maasai village in the extremely remote southwest corner of Kenya. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience to surprise these hardcore Maasai warriors by becoming one of the only foreigners ever to speak their language. Thanks to @SeaboltSpeaks for tagging along and helping film. It was quite expensive to make this video so thanks so much to Temu for helping out by sponsoring it, and I’ll be donating much of the proceeds after costs to Amref Health Africa which is headquartered in Kenya and supports the health of rural communities like the Maasai which are facing a very difficult drought in East Africa. Consider donating if you can! And thanks so much to www.incrediblekenyaadventures... for helping organize this entire trip, if you want to go to Kenya Francis is your man!!

They showed their houses (even gave him a place to sleep for the night) and their farm and how they prepare their food, they also sat down and ate dinner with them which is huge for bonding and showing respect for both parties involved, and most of all, finally, he spoke in their native language which shows that he has enough respect for them that he put forth the effort to learn the language. That's the difference I noticed between past visitors and Ari. There was a greater sense of respect altogether.

One would think having access to clean water for drinking, bathing and cooking would be prioritized, especially to avoid getting infected with dangerous bacteria. You hear about organizations like the Peace Corps drilling wells for clean water in African villages all the time, but I digress. How do they even charge their smartphones then? Is there a field of solar panels nearby that they plug into? And if drinking raw goat blood and eating raw goat kidneys wasn't an invitation to get sick with worms and parasites, I don't know what is! I'm all for embracing other cultures to a point, because there's some lines I just won't cross for the sake of my health. Even Ari drew a line in the sand over the blood and kidneys thing too, so I know I'm not alone in this.

I didn't see you complain or do one thing that anyone would think is distasteful. You were respectful and you honored their wishes to show their beautiful culture, and I hope you never change that. What a beautiful group of people. One of my favorite episodes so far. ❤
