    I really enjoyed this video. My first trip outside of Canada was to Uganda (I was crazy) and I saw tons of things that really... changed my worldview and my life in many ways. The people were also just simply the best, so friendly and welcoming, inviting me into their homes. Lots of memories I'll never forget, like holding an AK-47 while our guide forded us across a muddy river filled with crocs (first time I've held a firearm!), being told life jackets only drag out your inevitable death on a boat since the crocs or hippos will kill you, best take your chances trying to swim to shore or drown quickly... and I could go on.
    Uganda is always in my heart, and even seeing this video like a 13 years after I was there it's changed so much.

      I found the same in Malawi, though also there's the element that they see you as a white guy as also having money = maybe they can get something. But yes, Africans are friendly. Bit different in South Africa, where there is a lot of anger and hatred, also a lot of using people and selfishness, but I find people generally get along until the government and media stoke up flames.

    Mzungu in the context of Ugandans especially in Bantu ethnic communities of East Africa or parts of Southern Africa means Wonderer as some have mentioned. However, it is not meant to be racist but a term for foreigners with lighter skin. It was adopted especially when Europeans arrived at the coast of East Africa and fearing the locals, they would try to get their way into the interior without proper guides. They would walk in circles and find themselves back to the point where they started their journey having lost track. Another belief is that because of the language barrier the European explorers or Missionaries couldn't communicate their intentions of visiting native communities and the natives decided to call them wonderers aka Mzungu (singular) or Bazungu (Plural) as people who are just wondering around without a proper plan. For centuries the MZUNGU term has been adopted for a foreigner with lighter skin colour than the locals are used to.

    Bald is still the best, there’s no one like him. Tbh I’m surprised a TV network haven’t snapped him up; unless of course they have tried and it’s not Benjamins gig. Fantastic video as always.👊🏻😎
