GUYANA | The Rupununi Savannah | Episode 5 | Dylan Efron

An hour flight from Guyana’s capital city, Georgetown, we arrive in Lethem and are head deep into the remote and majestic South Rupununi. This sprawling savannah is a wildlife sanctuary and home to beautiful mountain backdrops and ancient landscapes. We take a 4 hour drive through red dirt roads and get ready for a cattle run with Wapishana Vaqueros.
Season finally next week 🤟🏼🎉

In Guyana, we call that black cake. It’s made pretty similarly to rum cake. It’s common to have it around the Christmas holidays.

[@dylanefron]

it wasn’t bad… just not chocolate. was so ready for chocolate

I’ve been looking forward to every other episode of Guyana blog, looks like a great time. Most Guyanese have not experienced what you guys experienced so thank you for showcasing our beautiful country. ❤️🇬🇾

[@dylanefron]

❤️🇬🇾

[@antoniogtrodney6680]

You're absolutely correct, we Guyanese need to go explore our country more and by doing so we will be helping our indigenous brothers and sisters. One Guyana!

[@jayrockstedy9890]

It's called a fruit cake it's made with dried raisins somtimes nuts, cherries and wine can be added. I like the outdoors I'll do this one day I'm in the city

[@gavinthomas3454]

No fruit cake is different, made of the similar fruits but close to sponge cake texture .But black cake is made of infused fruits, clored (burn sugar) and drenched in rum ie. Brandy like the individual tasted

[@elisabethbenjamin2203]

Nothing like fruit cake.

[@anuradharamnauth9856]

2:56 I'm guessing it's Guyanese black cake!

[@alicasingh4968]

Yep... most likely. Lol.

That 'Chocolate cake' was most definitely black cake. Best way to describe it is a rum-infused fruit cake.

[@yuvizkieerenuff4967]

And I hope something award this guy for making these soooooo damn good videos. Dylan, is practically showing us off for free.

[@wichabairanch4844]

[@br3y118]

Guyana my Home 🇬🇾I love you so much ❤️

[@djkarliscious8793]

It's called "black-caake"'. Put white icing on it & it becomes traditional Guyanese wedding cake base. Each whole cake traditionally gets soaked/immersed in rum before the process proceeds .

[@jls4eva09]

That view at the end was amazing reminded me of the film lion King I love chocolate too is the next week the last episode if it is I can't believe its finished already I really hope you do more like this again I really enjoyed getting to see a new part of the world you make it look so interesting would definitely watch this on TV channel your so good keep you the good work Dylan can't wait to see what you do next so excited x

You went through the same exact motions as I did as a kid lol; the excitement for chocolate and then the let down… it’s black cake…. it’s an acquired taste and most definitely not the most deliciously dense chocolate cake you ever saw. There’s a few other foods that might do that to ya lol and I so hope you can capture /experience them for us to see 😆.

Black cake is so my favourite. At anytime, better than chocolate. Your experience remind me of someone in UK asking me if I would like a mince pie ( in Guyana-savoury stuff pastry) turned out to be a hot stuffed sweet pastry. I'm still traumatised. 🤣. I buy black cake in UK £40 for 1/2 cake. Very difficult to make. Love your videos and putting Guyana in a positive way. Many would like to visit so we are all living vicariously. Next time, if you're into climbing, go to where Arthur Conan Doyle inspired ' the lost world' site, Roraima mountain. BBC led team discovered 200 new species a few yrs back.

[@tedroynaraine435]

[@itsjoy2295]

❤️❤️❤️

[@JetSetterAdventour]

Thats black cake.....a famous must have for any Guyanese Christmas....The area is indeed old as its part of the rocks that make up the Guiana shield formed millions of years ago.

[@2usafguy]

Like the videos... looking at this makes you realize that many Guyanese are typically not touring the country (i.e., being tourists) to this level as folks from different countries. A bit sad. Hopefully this will change in the future. Will have to visit these places when I go back. Overall, this is a positive thing. Keep the videos coming.
