Dear Mr. Aina, My name is Volker and I live in Germany. I am very happy to have found your channel. I think we (especially in Germany) need a lot more information of this kind. Africa has so many wonderful, talented people and great landscapes. Thanks for all your work
I am a British born American living in Texas; I have visited Gondar three times; the people are wonderful, the scenery spectacular, the food very healthy, the culture fascinating. I have travelled all over the world but feel more alive there than anywhere else and can’t wait to return.
To be honest borders, immigration surveillance, passport, people's economy status are barricades and barrier to deprive us from exploring the world,you don't have to be a native to be part of any geographical location we are all native of this world we should be able to explore any parts of the world doesn't have to be solely for economical reasons.
Great video Tayo. It is sooo good to see West Africans traveling and staying in East Africa especially in the Horn of Africa. Ethiopians practice the oldest form of Christianity in Africa and how they worship and see the religion is how it was done in ancient times. Very different from modern forms of Christianity even amongst other Africans who're Christians. As a Muslim, I have far more in common with their form of worship than I do with Westerners who practice Christianity. Ethiopia was the first African nation to accept, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam by choice and not via some form of conquest or violence. This is what makes Ethiopia such a special place.
To be honest, the way we practice Christianity is not that ancient. Its about 200 to 300 years old when the derivative deacons books came which basically formed a tree branch off of the bible and expanded it to 44 saints which all have their own churches and followings.
@@Stonbreas bro, you must be from a protestant background or you don't have the slightest idea about Christians and what they believe because you are so ignorant of The Church's history. FIRST, the term "44 tabot" comes from the fact at some point there were 44 churches in Gondar. So when people swear they used to say "by the 44 tabots" and now it is a thing. It doesn't imply that we only honor 44 saints and archangels. SECOND, honoring saints have nothing to do with altering the bible and it was a very ancient practice by our fathers. You can see ancient monasteries like Axum and also refer to the 7th ecumenical council. (actually, you should refer to all 7 councils as you really seem like you need it). THIRD, FOR the love of GOD, can you tell me where you heard about this "deacons deriving something from the bible 200 to 300 years ago and expanded it to 44 saints" ? What does it even mean??
@@mercym1733 Well, don't you think it is somehow absurd to argue that an incident that happened after the bible is not mentioned in the bible? And what makes you think that ትውፊት, the oral transmission of the Christian teaching passed from the apostles, is less legit than the written bible? Who do you think compiled the 66 books you believe in?. How did you even make sure there are only 66 books while there is nowhere in the bible that talks about how many books there are. From where do you think you find the fact on how the apostles became a martyr when there is no mention in the bible? Can you show me one place on the bible that refers to GOD as "trinity"? Where in the bible do you find that Sunday is the sabbath day? How do you even interpret the bible or know the context of each word? The CHURCH gathered the books, filtered out the righteous ones based on her ትውፊት, and compiled the Bible around the 4th century. We know about all the things mentioned above that are not clearly written on the bible because we have ትውፊት. We know how to interpret the Bible because we have ትውፊት, not just some random man that interprets the bible by himself and we follow. (this is the reason why we have around 45,000 protestant domination in the world today) Don't you think that you have to read the history of the bible if you really believe in it? Or just wonder sometimes where did it come from? I didn't write all this just for the case or arguing, I am just hoping there is some curiosity in you.
Hey Dadisi. JESUS loves you and HE died for you so you can have eternal life! 😊 GOD is too holy so no one gets to Heaven by doing good deeds. My parents used to be Muslims and some of my family members still are. I hope one day you see JESUS CHRIST for WHO HE truly is. Not just some prophet. But GOD WHO came in form of flesh to sacrifice HIS life for us. ❤...
Whenever I run into Ethiopians in Toronto, they usually stop to say hello and ask me in one of their local languages if I am Ethiopian. I tell them I am their cousin. They are beautiful people. Thanks for sharing these awesome adventures with us Tayo.

It is not necessary to go all the way to Debark then trek into the Simien Mountains to see Gelada baboons. A short car ride north of Gondar will take you to Kosoye . It is a small village but ask for a guide who will take you walking (not too difficult) for an hour or so to a place where you will be very close to a very large number of them. Also you will see THE MOST STAGGERINGLY BEAUTIFUL SCENERY IN THE WHOLE WORLD without having to pay the large fees they charge in Debark. It is an experience you will never forget!
Tayo, This is so interesting. Africa is the destination for tourist, my concern it's what you said about the airport officials; Tayo thanks for bringing Africa to the world. From Bayelsa State Nigeria 🇳🇬.
Tayo, greetings from California, USA 🇺🇸. I am so impressed with the quality of your videos and the beneficial nature of your content. You are a magnificent creator and spokesperson for Africa because of the beauty of your heart and your genuine love and appreciation of people. God bless you in all your endeavors!
Wow, this captured the essence of the country on several levels; i.e., food; religion; geography... I thought it was quite poignant when the tour guide stated, "Ethiopia is an Indigenous Christian country and was not Christianized by modern missionaries."-- Facts. Thanks for the great video!
I can bet if the Ethiopians hadn't fought off colonialists, those castles wouldn't be standing today. The same way they tore down the Walls of Benin City, the largest man made structure ever built and taught us to live their way of lives. Thanks Tayo for this Alkebulan exposure 👌🏽
@@rediettadesse2828 That's actually false. It has Portuguese and Indian influences, but it also has a very strong Axumite influence, especially the structural aspect. If you're Ethiopian, you should know your history better. Saying this isn't Ethiopian is like saying the Taj Mahal isn't Indian because of its Persian and Arabian influence.

Just so you all get the right info, aside from Aksumite style windows, Gondar has nothing to do with outdated Aksumite architecture. The locals absorped foreign techniques especially the use of Lime in their building. It is called Gondarine architecture and it's really unique.
@@martinschinedu3173 no, quite the opposite, Ethiopians are very friendly and welcoming. But the security check at the airport is a bit ridiculous even for Ethiopian, it’s because AA is becoming hub for drug smugglers and that’s why they were very serious.

@@martinschinedu3173 Ethiopia is going through a tough time, so security in many cities, not just Addis, is really tight. Like the guy said, it happens to Ethiopians as well. But, know that we have nothing but love and respect for our fellow black brothers and sisters; it's something we take pride in, along with our sense of hospitality. Hopefully, things will be less tense soon, perhaps the security will ease then.

I am so happy you visited Ethiopia. The land of ManaleK I. They are Orthodox Christians and are some of the first converts to Christianity. Thank you for this video.
My beautiful Ethiopia. Thanks Tayo for coming and visiting this beautifull country. I hope you will visit the rest of Ethiopia....So much to explore here.
Fabulous country. Beautiful-beautiful-beautiful🥰, delicious food, BEST coffee, fascinating history, incense varied. Athletes running everywhere when I first visited in 2001. If I had the opportunity, I’d relocate to Ethiopia immediately.
I think Addis Ababa has a lot of sites to be visited now a days, the Friendship square, the Unity park, Entoto, the National museum, Merkato, Piassa and so forth..overall a great video
We need to create our own African version of Netflix we have talented Continental Africans and African Diasporans whose Entrepreneurial skills and expertise in media and technology can be used to birth an Afrocentric Media Empire.

I see Tayo is getting more comfortable, it’s like you’ve found your rythm. I’m happy for you. Forget about competition, we all have our individual journey. Just follow your own path and have fun doing it. Wish you more success. Emmanuel
The communal eating thing is something i love about them. I remember my first time there i was invited to come eat with them while i was waiting for my hotel pick up.
I'm even angry for you based on the hospitality but I respect you more because you were able to put that aside and still make such a great video promoting the country and it's tourism destinations. Educational too, learning about the christianity in Ethiopia is cool. Great video boss 🙌
You know as I am Ethiopian I feel blessed, because people like you showed us Appreciation for natures and we don’t even visit those place when we there thank and love guys
Thanks for sharing Tayo. Really loved the show of culture and the details on the religion. Lol he said they’re in 2013, wow… indeed it’s a tourism hotspot. Nice landscape. Travel vloggers are indeed doing a l’ont
I did a presentation on Ethiopia for an Aiesec Global village presentation and it opened my eyes to how beautiful Africa is. I will travel the world soon #speakingintoexistence
I am EThiopian but never been in Gondor Fasil and Lalibela are One of my top places to visit when I am back to Ethiopia. What a beautiful places. So amazing abs can’t wait to visit. Thank You for showing!🙏🏾
You need to visit Gondar because it's beautiful the weather is beautiful the food and the people once you get there you feel completely home you do not want to go nowhere😇
I cannot wait to visit and learn about the history. I heard that a lot of Jamaicans 🇯🇲 are living in Ethiopia. I also heard that there is a big Rastafarian 🇯🇲 community somewhere in Ethiopia.

I'm so in love with Tayo's workspace, love the setup! And yes! Tayo's use of music in this video is superb🔥 ... I can't be the only one who noticed how he used music to build anticipation and Convey various emotions based on the scenery. Damn! Honestly, I felt like I was watching a top notch documentary on Natgeo.👏
I am still hunted by the story of your airport experience in Addis Ababa, otherwise, I love Ethiopia, the people, the food, the drinks, I love injera, honey wine, coffee, friendly people, hope to visit someday.
work in airlines it's international level company they might step few ppl aside and question them Dont think is big deal Just respect the authorities and follow through their commands If ur good they let you go Just want they work
I am assuming, since Ethiopian airlines is the biggest airline and destination toots every year they busted many drug traffickers right now there are over hundreds Nigerian and South America in prisons in Ethiopia so always the airport officials focus on more Nigerians and Brazilians .we don’t blame them Cos those roots are hot . There for this guy got same treatment I believe.
KK. Tayo Aina thank you for visiting Ethiopia. Most of Africans we have similar culture's. I'm Ethiopian I didn't visit this place. Keep up visiting other African countries too. Again thanks to you and your companion.
Seeing these beautiful landscapes in Africa, makes me angry that the living conditions in the towns are so terrible. Hot house, and litter everywhere. Please help them improve.
So ironic that you're Nigerian visiting one Africa's most ancient towns and wearing a T-shirt that says 'Los Angeles - California' 🙂 I would love to visit Gondar one day. Just before the pandemic I went to Lalibela and visited all 12 of the amazing churches. The architecture completely blew me away as did the breath-taking landscape. I stayed at Mountain View hotel which had amazingly beautiful views of the mountains from my room. The traditional music and dance is spectacular and the people, both men and women are so naturally graceful and elegant. Addis is cool. The National Museum is incredible and houses the oldest skeleton on earth - Lucy. Also the Ethio-jazz clubs are amazing (which you'll massively enjoy if you like musicians like Astatke Mulatu 🤩) and it's also very interesting to see the headquarters of the African Union, which makes Addis thee Afropolitan centre in Africa. I would really love the chance to go back and work there. I know a young Nigerian guy who worked for the UN in Addis for 3 years and he absolutely loved it.

I just wish we the younger generations need to start exploring what we have. Great exposure.
Ethiopia is a wonderful country, very chill !
I am glad you have a lot of happiness brother !
I am so happy you visited Ethiopia. The land of ManaleK I. They are Orthodox Christians and are some of the first converts to Christianity. Thank you for this video.
Yes, Tikur Sew aka Black Man I dedicated Teddy Afro song Tikur see if you are fond of Minlike the king.. you will be blown away by the performance
Did you just say the land of Manalek?
The slave entrepreneur?
He is the last one should be mentioned as a black man.
Random videos, the same one. Slavery is with us today.

Sold his own people nothing to be proud off.
@@buckshot226 So did most of our ancestors. He made wars to take slaves. Now people jump into dingy boats for a so called better life elsewhere.
My beautiful Ethiopia. Thanks Tayo for coming and visiting this beautifull country. I hope you will visit the rest of Ethiopia....So much to explore here.
Ethiopia we are coming. 😍
perfect place... give me likes from Kenya
Fabulous country. Beautiful-beautiful-beautiful🥰, delicious food, BEST coffee, fascinating history, incense varied.
Athletes running everywhere when I first visited in 2001. If I had the opportunity, I’d relocate to Ethiopia immediately.
I think Addis Ababa has a lot of sites to be visited now a days, the Friendship square, the Unity park, Entoto, the National museum, Merkato, Piassa and so forth..overall a great video
Our Babe❤️❤️❤️
Indeed
😂😂😂
Busted lol
Every time…every single time. 😂
Really?😵
Wow this video was eye opening about Ethiopia..such rich history & culture
Netflix should hire you or maybe you should sell some of your documentaries to Netflix. You are good at what you do.
We need to create our own African version of Netflix we have talented Continental Africans and African Diasporans whose Entrepreneurial skills and expertise in media and technology can be used to birth an Afrocentric Media Empire. This will be a step forward towards FREEDOM and breaking the chains of COLONIAL DEPENDENCY SYNDROME! 🙂🙂🙂
HAha, Thank you
@@EstherAivinhenyi I am creating that ✊🏿
@@josephcoatofmanycolors oh really? please let's know when you are done with it👏🏾 can't wait to pay and download our afro flix🔥😊

The view from the top🥰🥰🥰. The hotel is really beautiful
I am from Ethiopia. I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you for showcasing my country. We Ethiopians believe Ethiopia is the mother country for all Africans and all black people in the world. Please welcome home.
All human beings my friend. Some white people love Ethiopia too. Jah bless.
I've said this video now because this country and Zanzibar is now in my bucket list
Thanks Tayo, Ethiopia is a place that i love so much. i felt like I went on the journey with you
Ethiopia has some beautiful melanin people & the country is beautiful
I see Tayo is getting more comfortable, it’s like you’ve found your rythm. I’m happy for you. Forget about competition, we all have our individual journey. Just follow your own path and have fun doing it. Wish you more success.

Like is narration is smoother. I'm so happy for him
The communal eating thing is something i love about them. I remember my first time there i was invited to come eat with them while i was waiting for my hotel pick up.
I'm even angry for you based on the hospitality but I respect you more because you were able to put that aside and still make such a great video promoting the country and it's tourism destinations. Educational too, learning about the christianity in Ethiopia is cool. Great video boss 🙌
Thank you, i was also very angry at him.
I knew I would never visit Ethiopia after watching this video, but all the other parts of Africa people were very friendly.
I have not even finished watching and Im excited to visit. The View though.... gosh!
Thank you and God bless you for showing the beauty of my beloved country, Ethiopia. 💚💛❤
You know as I am Ethiopian I feel blessed, because people like you showed us Appreciation for natures and we don’t even visit those place when we there thank and love guys
Thanks Tayo for allowing us to live our lives vicariously through your lens.

I would love to visit Ethiopia! It's the home of all mankind and full of great food and beautiful people! Greetings from Finland!
I am EThiopian but never been in Gondor Fasil and Lalibela are One of my top places to visit when I am back to Ethiopia. What a beautiful places. So amazing abs can’t wait to visit. Thank You for showing!🙏🏾
You need to visit Gondar because it's beautiful the weather is beautiful the food and the people once you get there you feel completely home you do not want to go nowhere😇
Wow. First look at this, it’s beautiful and that sound track ? What?! Great job. Here for the rest.
Tayo the editing is A1! Ethiopia is on my bucket list thanks for sharing!
I cannot wait to visit and learn about the history. I heard that a lot of Jamaicans 🇯🇲 are living in Ethiopia. I also heard that there is a big Rastafarian 🇯🇲 community somewhere in Ethiopia.
yes there is my brother its called shashemene the land is given to only rastafarians by emperor haile silassie
Ras Tafari is Ethiopian king
Good work bro. Africa is looking so attractive to us Africans now.

I'm so in love with Tayo's workspace, love the setup! And yes! Tayo's use of music in this video is superb🔥 ... I can't be the only one who noticed how he used music to build anticipation and Convey various emotions based on the scenery. Damn! Honestly, I felt like I was watching a top notch documentary on Natgeo.👏
Thank you 🙏🏾 ❤️
@@TayoAinaFilms What you just did angered a lot of people bro trust me
@@politics9714 what did I do? 🤔
@@TayoAinaFilms You involved Eritrea with Ethiopia in your video.....and that caused me alot of problems
@@TayoAinaFilms Not on this video
I'm a black man in New York City and I really appreciate watching this beautiful video. Now I plan to visit ETHIOPIA
Beautiful environment with incredible facilities and true authenticity.😍
Whenever I watch your videos, I always learn something new.
This is a full-blown movie, see the beauty that is our continent ❤❤❤
Shes absolutely a babe. & im glad you guys got to see my country. I cried watching this. Thanks 4 the memories.
I am still hunted by the story of your airport experience in Addis Ababa, otherwise, I love Ethiopia, the people, the food, the drinks, I love injera, honey wine, coffee, friendly people, hope to visit someday.
work in airlines it's international level company they might step few ppl aside and question them
Dont think is big deal
Just respect the authorities and follow through their commands
If ur good they let you go
Just want they work
I am assuming, since Ethiopian airlines is the biggest airline and destination toots every year they busted many drug traffickers right now there are over hundreds Nigerian and South America in prisons in Ethiopia so always the airport officials focus on more Nigerians and Brazilians .we don’t blame them Cos those roots are hot . There for this guy got same treatment I believe.
Man, thanks for making this video
Omoooo... Africa is beautiful. And we don't get to see this on mainstream media.
Also... Money is good oooo.
In Ethiopia we don't get the value of marketing yet :(
Thank you for this nice vlog Tayo ,I enjoy it.
KK. Tayo Aina thank you for visiting Ethiopia. Most of Africans we have similar culture's. I'm Ethiopian I didn't visit this place. Keep up visiting other African countries too. Again thanks to you and your companion.
Seeing these beautiful landscapes in Africa, makes me angry that the living conditions in the towns are so terrible. Hot house, and litter everywhere. Please help them improve.
Tayo you made the right decision to visit the cradle of human kind, hope you will keep coming back and explore a lot more...
👏 WOOW..ABSOLUTELY 💯 BEAUTIFUL 😍❤..!!!YOU BOTH HAVE DONE AN AWESOME JOB, SHOWING OUT BEAUTIFUL ETHIOPIA 🇪🇹!!!
Tnx bro because you show my sweet country Ethiopia 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
Dope content, I really enjoy watching. Africa is so interesting to me, I am grateful can I see some of Africa through your lends.
my beloved ethiopia
Ethiopia is one of the most beautiful countries in Africa.
may allah protect our country
Hey TAYO,great vlog as always👏👏👏Ethiopia is beautiful, God really gave us every thing to be happy with in Africa🌍👏👏thanks for sharing👍👍👍
This is the pure picture of a paradise
So ironic that you're Nigerian visiting one Africa's most ancient towns and wearing a T-shirt that says 'Los Angeles - California' 🙂
I would love to visit Gondar one day. Just before the pandemic I went to Lalibela and visited all 12 of the amazing churches. The architecture completely blew me away as did the breath-taking landscape. I stayed at Mountain View hotel which had amazingly beautiful views of the mountains from my room.
The traditional music and dance is spectacular and the people, both men and women are so naturally graceful and elegant.
Addis is cool. The National Museum is incredible and houses the oldest skeleton on earth - Lucy. Also the Ethio-jazz clubs are amazing (which you'll massively enjoy if you like musicians like Astatke Mulatu 🤩) and it's also very interesting to see the headquarters of the African Union, which makes Addis thee Afropolitan centre in Africa. I would really love the chance to go back and work there. I know a young Nigerian guy who worked for the UN in Addis for 3 years and he absolutely loved it.
Thank you brother one love African from Ethiopia 🇪🇹 ❤️
Inspiring and beautiful.
Bro you are headed places with this. You are remarkable with these videos. I'm learning and getting Inspired so much, Thank You
💚💛❤ I am from Ethiopia and proud of Africa 👍👍👍
That your female tour companion is so sweetheart. Please try to visit her again sometimes. Would love to see her again! Her energy is contagious 😍
