96 Hours with The Iraqw Tribe in Tanzania (Overwhelming)

I'm in a town called Karatu which is known as the gateway to northern Tanzania's biggest parks including the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park. Is it any wonder Karatu has earned itself the nickname 'safari junction'?
But this colourful town is so much more than a place to rest before your safari. Within this sprawling town is a tribe rich in culture and tradtions: the Iraqw tribe. The Iraqw tribe make up 80% of Karatu's residents.
In this video I aim to tell you more about Iraqw culture. For the duration of today's story I am basing myself in Foresight Eco-Lodge, a gorgeous lodge with a fantastic charitable programme. The lodge is involved in helping to fund the local primary school as well as helping those most in need in the village.

Really interesting to see the village. It was very sad that the women’s husband ran away and she was left with the kids in a house which was falling down with no bed. Very eye opening

[@EllaMcKendrick]

Thanks for watching! Yes, it was very sad to hear what she had gone through but heartwarming to see how her life has now been turned around for the better ❤️

[@EllaMcKendrick]

The cottage really was lovely. It was peaceful and you could hear the sounds of the birds and animals at night so well. Thanks Manmeet for your amazing support, as always 😄

[@GoTravelOnTheCheap]

Looks like you're having such an amazing time and Tanzania. Do the schoolchildren looks so cute I thought all Europeans knew how to drive a manual transmission. Hahaha

[@EllaMcKendrick]

Haha, I have learnt how to drive a manual but it's been around 10 years since I've owned one so my brain is a bit hazy! Plus these huge Land Cruisers are no joke. They have low-range years and everything which is brand new to me 🤪

[@عبدالرحمنجاسم-ي4ش]

[@allangault9500]

I love your content, makes me want to drop everything and go on safari. If you know of a way to donate to this school could you link it? Maybe I missed what you said and I have googled but you have been there and have experience, I would very much appreciate anything you could offer on the subject.

[@EllaMcKendrick]

Thank you very much for watching! Hopefully you can go on safari soon. Yes, here is a direct link to Foresight's website: foresight-lodge.com/make-a-difference/?noredirect=en-US - they are also in the process of building a new school as well which is due to be ready later this year

In 1883 A.D. , Black Syrians are Known as the Semitic Arameans Source: Herodotus I.-III. (MacMillian) 1883 A.D. “The Syrians here are the "White Syrians” of Strabo, whom the Greek geographer contrasts with the Black Syrians, or Semitic Arameans, east of the Amanus (Strab. pp. 533, 544, 737. See Schol. ad Apoll. Rhod. i. 948). We now know that they were really the Hittites of Carchemish, who did not belong to the Semitic race at all, and had originally descended from the mountainous region of the north.
