The Magic of Stone Town Zanzibar 🇹🇿 | 197 Countries, 3 Kids

[@BayouBarbie504]

I'm so grateful that at least one of my ancestors was brave enough to endure the hardships of not just making it across an ocean in atrocious conditions, but to survive through the cruelty of being enslaved. That tour really moved me. I plan on bringing my kids to Tanzania. I've been watching different videos with people bringing kids and you guys look like you had a good time! Thanks for sharing your time.

[@fbreton11]

Chantal, you guys are doing such an incredible job traveling around the world with the girls!!! I totally felt in love with Zanzibar through your eyes! Great video, I will share it for sure.

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Thanks so much! We're glad you enjoyed the video!

That part of the slaves was so exciting watching. Brazil was the country that most imported Africans as slaves in the world (brought by the Portuguese). And almost always here we read in the history books this historical fact being told by white people who did not suffer like slaves, so the story is always told lightly. Being there and entering the place where the slaves were staying with a cultured man like this tour guide (who seems to have emotion in his voice) is a learning package that no school could teach. What an amazing experience for the girls and the family. It is unbelievable that there was such a past, treating humans in this way. It is common to find in Brazil grandparents who have been enslaved, and who today value water, food and the bed. Thank you for this video. Very beautiful the place with many features. Someone needs to invest and progress the country.

[@tonynes3577]

Quite an adventure! Beautiful. Great videos! Your videos make me think about culture and travelling. I'm multicultural; my father was Italian, my mother Greek (been to both countries) and I was born and raised in French Canada, Montreal. I live and work in California USA now. But, nothing beats experiencing the world!

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Thanks for the comment! That's awesome that you were able to visit both home countries to your parents. Canada is so multicultural as I'm sure California is too. I hope you enjoy all our other videos.

[@mohamediddi5126]

Good. And you're warmly welcomed to Zanzibar island.

[@gingerz169]

The story from the elderly tour guide about the slave's living quarters is heart-wrenching.

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

I know right. Not to be forgotten.

@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders :) I'm sorry to write my comment twice. There was a racist person who commented on my first comment, so I reported him to google/youtube and deleted my comment and rewrote the comment so that there was no negative things on your channel, underneath my comment. So I'm not trying to spam comment you. I just had to delete the first comment that I wrote and rewrite it. Thank you for posting cool videos. I love your channel!

[@mikereed6274]

Loved it, I was there in 1957 and it made me very nostalgic. Thank you again xx

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Really?!? Was it similar to what you remember seeing? Were you there on a holiday?

[@mikereed6274]

My father was a health inspector in Dar Es Salaam in the 1950's and we travelled by Union Castle ships around Africa on leave. One of the trips took us to Zanzibar when Tanganyika was still called that. Zanzibar was very Arabic then and there was a great conflict and many Arab people were killed before it became Tanzania so it's been a victim of political change. It looks much the same, fewer Dhows now.

Aah you captured our house in your video @ 2:16. I lived in Zanzibar in the 60S. The tall white house behind the orange tarpoline on the right hand side was our house. It was in great shape then but it is now dilapitated like most houses in Zanzibar after the revolution in 1964. I live in Mississauga, Canada now and your video brought back some beautiful memories. Thank you. Your video was done very professionaly. I really enjoyed it. Thanks again.

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Wow that’s amazing! I’m so glad we filmed it and that you found our video. What a unique place Zanzibar is!! I’ve been through Mississauga many times. I grew up just north of Kingston. 😉

About the Canadian hats and other products that you found out, I think they're used clothes from "Canadian charities" to African countries. The charities do send them to Africa but they somehow end up being sold in the market. Zanzibar is my second home by the way, welcome to our island again. Karibuni Unguja!

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Oh yeah, that’s possible. Thanks for the insight. You have a beautiful second home!

[@chasingadeline]

Nice video!!! I’m not sure that I could have spend that so much time In Africa, but Africa is on our bucket list!!! Those turtle was huge!! We saw some in Auckland Zoo, New Zealand 🇳🇿 few months ago!!

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Thanks guys! The turtles were definitely amazing and the fact that we could feed them and walk freely around them was an amazing experience.

The hats will be sold from a second hand shipment sent from Canada, they are to be resold in Africa, this happens all Africa. Recycling at its best! WOW didn't know tortoise could live so long!!! Just found your channel now watching going to watch the lot!!

Hello. I am new to your channel and I absolutely love the videos. I first came across you with the Cuenca video, since I am thinking about moving there...This video (Africa) is my favorite because it has more video and it felt like I was there with you. I went to Tanzania many years ago and we couldn't get to Zanzibar because all the flights were booked because of Ramadan. I am watching from Maryland and my name is Anna. Buen viaje...

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Ah that's great Anna! Welcome to our channel!!! I hope you'll enjoy all the new ones that we'll be sharing on the different places we've discovered here in Africa. It's a fascinating place which I'm sure you saw when you were there.

Your negative comment about the exporting and the importing of goods which happen all over the world, but when we do what you do everyday. You refer to those people as being "fishy." You love to search for something to call people thieves or crooks in your way...when the truth is...we know who the real crooks are...stand in the mirror. STAY FROM OVER THERE IF THAT'S HOW YOU FEEL. YOU LOVE THE LAND AND WHAT YOU CAN GLEAN BUT HATE THE PEOPLE...LEAVE!!!
