- In today's video we meet the camera-shy Caitlin, one of the people living in Bomanoma situated over 8000km from Vienna, in Narok, Kenya, only 40km from Maasai Mara. She is an American who moved to Kenya and will bring us inside her pimped up mud home which everyone in the homestead fondly refers to as the Bougie Manyatta. Caitlin will give us a glimpse into her life inside this cool Maasai Homestead.
Bomanoma, is a home that's unexpectedly exemplifying the modern way of life of the Maasai community that's led by a young Maasai woman, Selina, and her young American Husband Brian.

I LEFT AMERICA & BUILT A MUD HOME IN RURAL KENYA | Off Grid Living 2022 | Narok | Urlaub in Afrika
#offgridliving #maasai #african #kenya #ASMR
In this Limited series which we are calling Urlaub in Africa, we bring you content from Kenya, my homeland, voted the best city in Africa by expatriates in 2021, and one of Africa's fastest growing economies. I hope this sparks in you an interest in the Continent.
Welcome to Africa, Karibu Kenya, Nairobi, Hakuna Matata.

In 'Living in Vienna' we spotlight life as it happens in Vienna. We mainly share what's going on in Vienna during our insightful walks and/or in arranged or impromptu interviews with Viennese people. All the times, we keep our ears on the ground and our eyes in the air to bring you to the front seat of life as it is in Vienna. If it's happening in Vienna, we are catching it and sharing the moments in time with you.
I am glad she’s living life simply, there’s so much more to life than material things
what on earth could be more desireable than living in your own space accompanied by your dog, surrounded by humans you like 🍀
When westerners live in a mud Hse it's eco friendly it's posh, when we live in a mud Hse it's poverty, just my view.
There's no lies in you're views. It's a social profiling problem. But, any low profiling shouldn't bother us if we know who we are. Check out my new series ruclips.net/video/HuODFrvd49c/видео.html
There is a new method of building using mad/soil its called rammed earth construction its more friendly and lasts longer than these concrete construction houses,
But truth be told most Africans who are well up don't live in mud houses.
We got the idea of building with mud from Africa. My adobe is not posh but it is comfortable and simple and i love it
Lucky Americans they can just move to Africa and live comfortably and accepted by community in Africa. However its different case for Africans we cant do that
Do You know how many imigrants from Africa live in Europe, USA, Canada, even Australia?
@@konrad9240 I know but it's hard and it's not that easy
@rubylane9867 Africa can be hard too but if one chooses to live a simple life away from competition u can live a good peaceful life
Hard with a victim mentality
@@konrad9240 Je crois que tu n'as pas compris la totalité de sa pensée. C'est une chose de changer de continent pour s'installer sur unr nouvelle terre. Et c'est une autre chose que d'être accepté par la communauté du pays où tu débarques. Dans tous les pays occidentaux il ya aujourd'hui les partis politiques racistes et xénophobes dont le programme politique est de détester les étrangers et les chasser du pays . Cela n'existe dans aucun pays africain. Fais des recherches, si tu trouves un seul dis-le ! L'Australie par exemple est le pays qui a des lois très dures sur l'immigration. Or tous ces faux australiens sont eux-mêmes venus d'ailleurs. Ce sont des descendants de bagnards qui ont fait des aborigènes,les vrais australiens,des étrangers sur leurs propres terres.
As kenyan who works in dubai i totally understand her . Yes, i make a decent living but i barely have time to live. This right here is the end goal built a nice ranch house away from the city and chill out.
We usually redo the wall surface regularly and even mix waterproof cement with the soil to reduce surface erosion and increase the compactness.
The use of solar and WiFi in that manyatta is awesome.
Great to see Kaitlyn and Boma Noma family living an offgrid permaculture lifestyle in Narok, Kenya.
Hey Thiong'o, it was really nice to meet you and learn so much from you. I'm following your journey and I am looking forward to sharing your knowledge on permaculture in an upcoming video
I grew up in Toco, Trinidad living the life you are living in Africa. It was a healthy and refreshing happy lifestyle. Great video.
My grandmothers house in the village in Nigeria was made out of mud! People asking why the roofs were built lower, I think it just never occurred to our people make the roof higher . I don't think there was any reason. I like how she has applied some western building standards to upgrade a traditional building method . My grandmother eventually coated the outside of her house with cement to prevent damage from the rains !
So true
Do you watch Jim Nduruchi Thank you
Nice !
🇰🇪🇰🇪
The more simple life is, the more wholesome it is. Some people figure this, some don't. Those who figure, some take long, some figure quickly.
Africans wants to go to USA and Europe but trust me no better place than Africa I am planning to go back to Africa soon
Come back soon, Mama Africa awaits
Your home is just adorable thank you for sharing your home with us 🖐️👀😇🕯️🤍🩵✨🎶
I love it ! I wouldn't take space for myself in Africa . I would rather see my African brothers and sisters thrive on their own land . Although , my family is West African I am also European and Asian . I live in America and have my family here . Were situated here, but I would love to visit .
There is so much abudance of space and resources in Africa that we are happy to share with nice people like you if you like. Don't believe the media lies that people are poor here... people are very wealthy and are happy to share
I love it!!! They just need more watertanks because the heavy rains will full those quickly.
You mentioned the roofs are traditionally lower, maybe it helps to keep the room cooler? I was thinking there must be a logical explanation for the lower roofs. When people have little to no resources, they must get creative and innovative.
Great video!
You are right, people always have valid reasons for the way they do things. As new comers, we eventually find out why, when our new ways eventually fail. Thanks for your perspective and for watching 🌼
Could it be because manyattas were traditionally built by women? Women are shorter and may find it harder to go up to build high roofs.🤷just a thought, I could be wrong
Pauline, that's a very likely reason
It's was all about the height of the person building it
@@naisianoitenik254 you are so right. I thought a lot about why the houses were so low, and I had such a suspicion. Thank you for clarifying
The place look so beautiful & peaceful👌
Am so happy for u girl I love your place when I watched your video I said to myself that's the life I would want to have I love the plants around your house u have done a good job with your place 👍
Thanks 🥰
Thanks for your video. Very interesting. I would still need a sort of bathroom with a sink even if I have to use bucket water. Not to keen on sharing bathrooms. That is one of my necessities. That would be important. Even if I had to share the toilet area and kitchen, I could handle that. It is good to have outsiders share their opinions, that is how we grow. My biggest problem in the tropics is the lizards. I am terrified of them and they seem to be everywhere..
😆😂🤣there are those lizards with blue head and always seem to be nodding. Listen, I'm terrified to death by those😆😂🤣
OMG am loving this, am coming to kenya Dec/Jan hopefully I will get to visit.
I associate Vienna with classical music coz of the movie SOUND OF MUSIC
am glad the first thing I heard when I have watched this video is classical music 🥰
I also just found this video by accident 😂and enjoyed the tour ,i love 💕 tiny house living
You're most welcome 😍🥰, glad you enjoyed it
Hi Caitlin, i just found this by accident and it's great to see you and your house! Greetings to you, Brian, Selena and Zuri. See you soon, Karen
P.s. That plant, the green stick-like tree is the Ololei😁
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉good video 👍✅ sending you love 💕 and prayers from Kampala city, Uganda, Africa 🌍 i like the creativity, solar usage , water collection, i wanted to see the kitchen. Its simple .
Thanks. The kitchen is in the second video in this playlist
That's a cute little house
That’s kind of sometimes we used to fence ever green like type kayamba most of the time our parents used to fence our houses. Yes we use to do also us glue it sticks
Wow! wow! wow! It is beautiful
It really is! Thanks dear
This project is owned by th massai lady renting out. It is an off grid permaculture farm
The parmaculture video is coming up. Thanks for watching 🌼🌺
I love the video,I simple and cool livelyhood amazing, about the mud house outside getting damaged by rain,use chicken wire and cement plaster walls outside, passion fruits plant more wire them. Buy clay pots and store boiled water for cold drinking water. I am happy for choosing simplicity life over city life. Blessed and respect 🙏👍
Thank you Charles
She needs to start a RUclips channel
Being from Sudan & lived my whole life in mud houses, i think the roof are kind of low as a matter of cost effectiveness. The taller you go the more expensive it would be, just my guess... As for the outside also we used mud & animal dry dunk, mix it & blaster the whole house from outside. In dryer areas it might last up to 7-8 years..
Very beautiful & peaceful
Thanks alot for sharing your knowledge of the mud house technique
This is so informative and so.. very beautiful..
but I lost it when she said
* oh !!! Like in cribs * 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂🥰
Am so happy to see this ,, am going to copy them to,, haha ♡♡
Ndanu, you and me both. Copying is life🤭
The Muzungu Manyatta. It's a whole vibe😊
how is this house different from ab adobe? i love it.
I am very impressed with your space. I would like to know have you considered getting your own little composting toilet and having your own toilet area behind a screen or curtain and small hand washing machine to make your job a little easier?
Hey Dianne, you are so kind🥰
I believe that she’s a guest living here so she can’t just build whatever she want & the lady that runs the place says that she has the blueprint of how she would like the place to look. As for the laundry machine it uses a lot of power considering they use solar energy ( it’s quite common for people to use their hands for laundry so she pretty much got used to it )
I like her accomplishments 😍
Hi it nice for you to howing as house for that lady she has done good job
Heh hawa wazungu never cease to amaze me
We abandoned the healthy living for comfort and disease...and they know what we had is superior to the mediocre techniques that is modern houses
This interesting i enjoyed Bougie manyata
Thanks Sharon😍😍😍
Hi Pietro, no one should get anyone to do anything. It's a free country and Maasai people are independent to do whatever they want. Insinuating that a people's way of life is indecent demonstrates ignorance and arrogance.
I dig your vids. But, since you're using one mic towards your interviewee, try to speak up more, because I have a hard time hearing you.
Thank you 🥰. And thanks for the feedback. Since in the upcoming episodes I still have one mic, I'll add subtitles for the parts that are inaudible. Glad you are enjoying the vids
@@asilingamani Much respect Dada, keep it up. The subtitles is a very good fix. Beautiful experiences. I will check out more areas like these when I return to Baby-Colonial Kenya. I intend to return to blogging again very soon, and your vids have further inspired me.
Most welcome Kaka🌼🥂
It's a beautiful house.
Beautiful 💕✌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
Great tour , I was wondering the dimensions of her mud house and porch.
I'll ask her on your behalf and come back to you with the answer
AWESOME HOW DO YOU WORK OVER THERE?
I WANT TO MAKE A LITTLE HOUSE LIKE THAT WHEN I MOVE TO SALTON SEA CALI.
Look out for upcoming video for an update on Caitlin
Kindly plaster the house using cement otherwise when it rains.. the walls might be damaged by the rain water.
This vid lets me miss home. I use to wash rinse and pin my clothes on the line back in jamaica not everyone has washing machine. But it was fun especially washing white clothes
Yes, you knew exactly where or whether there was a spot or stain and accordingly, each piece of clothing got individual, undivided attention. Not just impersonally swished around with all the other pieces in a washing machine. To this day, I can never wash/put my underpants in the washing machine. I must separately, lovingly tend my gentler pieces of clothing.
JenniB totally 💯
I'm an American woman planning on moving to Kenya or Uganda soon. Would you be willing to correspond with me? Thank you.
Wow, welcome to East Africa. Please contact Bomanoma www.bomanoma.com to correspond with her🥰
To keep the house clean, you need to paint it with some cement..
clean from nature? cement is very toxic to our bodies
Penso que a moça americana deveria adotar a vida do povo da aldeia. Essas alterações no padrão construtivo acaba por descaracterizar uma tecnoligia utilizada com sucesso a séculos. Devemos respeitar a cultura de um povo. E muito importante!
do u have the square footage of her space?
I don't know what a square footage is. Maybe you can explain what you mean?
@@asilingamani size of her home
I don't have, but contact @bomanoma on Instagram and they will give you the specifics.
She has beautiful plans
Very beautiful community
💯
So beautiful watching these videos makes me wish I was there instead of Ohios hustle and bustle world I live in .
Looks lovely... Always wanted to move to Africa in particular moreso to Kenya coz I've seen so much of stuff.. wondering how it is feasible to get a peice of land and be there.. Africa I felt my motherland though I travel labelled ' Indian '
There are many Kenyans of Indian origin, so may be you have some African, you never know.
@@asilingamani I love to be in the motherland .. we've always been told that we are mixture of Iberian Ethiopian living in India..but as it went I've known from my maternal and paternal grand parent that they were much likely to be of African descent ..I have some innate inherent love affection for.the land Africa .
Hey Team Toon l can connect to aprime land l are or 2 according to your need next to Nairobi national park with Amenites like water and electricity available. The original documents available and all translations are over board done before a government approved attorney.
@@ramtoonI have a large piece of land.. I can sell it to you..
Weldone girl,u are amazing
Yes
I wonder about how you make that red paint. I really would like to know!!! Anyone????
It is Red oxide paint for floor. It is a hard-wearing red-oxide coloured gloss finish specially designed for interior use on floors constructed of concrete, stone, brick. Thanks for watching
I could live here! Like for real and have a manyatta, am so over the Urban life!
I totally agree with you 🌺🌿
I've lived in both 1st ,2nd and 3 world, but always in the cuties and in my forties now want to have an in between ,aome hour away from the city life but cosy enough and chill life .deciding between kilifi not too far from the beach and somewhere upcountry where I can see hills and also plant my food and only buy the necessities.
Beautiful
What about city life because people say usa need cities
What a lovely homestead! I would love to live in such. Are Selena and Brian (?) looking to expand their community of homesteaders?
How did you get citizenship pls?
I love this.
Amazing!
Nice one
Thanks 🔥 maryjohn
Simply life good
Absolutely 🥰
How do you survive without air conditioning?
The air is in its best condition, it doesn't need any artificial conditioning
Why not Europe? You could have moved in rural areas ther
Why not Kenya?
❤❤I THINK 🤔 KENYA 🇰🇪 IS MORE SAFER THAN NIGERIA 🇳🇬 SECURITY WISE IS VERY GOOD I SUPPOSE
Nigeria is safe, so is Kenya. Don't let the mainstream media fool or lie to you. Visit and live in both countries and you'll know🥰🥰🥰
Love it❤
amazing
Very gd. U live in a eco house. Gd for the climate too
like in cribs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤭
Love your place. Do you get mail there and how long does it take.
Hi Delana, the mailing system that you may be referring to is an alien/western concept here in Africa. There are a few westernized neighbourhoods especially in Nairobi suburbs where getting mail sent to your doorstep is a posible. Otherwise the rest of us go to the post office that is usually located at the trading center or city center, to check out post box. But it is very rare that anyone is sending mail in Africa like you do in US or Europe
What a dream , what area is this?
This is Narok
Did I miss the bathroom?
It's outdoors. Check out the videos in this playlist
Cinnect me euth that lady mzungu.i love her story
Feel free to reach out to them via www.bomanoma.com I'm sure they will be happy to connect
Juakali( local industry) shud come up with a washmachine its only back and forth anyway.
Many people feel hand-washing has more benefits than machine washing, even though hand-washing is time consuming
@@asilingamani which benefits?
@@mwendapoleee Saves water, saves energy, saves the planet, good for body and muscle toning, can help relieve mental stress, slow living, cleans clothes better, good for delicate fabrics, etc. watch out for an upcoming video where I share the benefits.
@@asilingamani i also wash my delicate garments per hand but the rest and a machine uses less water and soap and its tedious rather do something else.
@@mwendapoleee me too🤭. The benefits of handwashing don't make it easier. Many times the easier, the faster and more effective a method the more detrimental it is to our wellbeing and our planet.
Is the lady merred please
Hell NO. Would not leave the US (I am a European living in the US for many years.) To the Hell to the NO, Absolutely not.
hehe, Anna I only visited several cities in US, so I can't say I know much about America. Which part of US are you living?
Living in Europe is just like in Africa with a rural life.
She moved from the US for work ended up loving this life in Africa
Live and let live. She love it here. You love it there
