Yes, I like the way they seem to pick and choose wisely. Some of them sported a nice pair of jeans, and they decided cargo shorts were a handy idea, and the multicolored Okabashi sandals are definitely a must have. Mine have lasted six years, so I agree. But still, they are doing their thing the way they know is best.

The honeyguide symbiosis is unreal! Something straight out of myths and legends. Such a cool aspect of a people I've never heard of until now. Thanks Simon and team!

I went there to go with them when hunting back in 2022, very valuable and special memory, I ended up eating monkey liver. I can speak Swahili so I could communicate with some of them truly fascinating, very nice and sharing people who are just as interested to speak with you as you are to speak with them. Very nice people and I can’t wait to return

Glad to see this portrayed and that there weren't any comments on Black Israelite. African cultures are beautiful and don't need to be reinvented

This has been my favorite episode of Places to date

I have no doubt their lives are much harder than my soft one. But it does make you wonder how satisfying theirs is in it’s fundamental simplicity and lack of social constructs. There’s something to be learnt from just not caring about what is actually not important for the day to day. Just as their is the growth of society, culture and history - oral or written.

Yeah, I really hope these people can continue to thrive. I think just because they're willing to interact with foreigners, doesn't mean that should be an open invitation for tourists to just flood them just because they can. Too much human activity in an area can upset a natural balance- there can be plenty of things like noise or light pollution, that even with a slight increase could disrupt the animals these people depend on, for one example. And to have anybody try to come in and say "oh, we want our head(s) of state to vacation in their entire land as a personal safari playground" just seems rude IMO.

these are among the few humans that could survive a major event that would wipe the bulk of us out. People like this need to be protected at all cost, otherwise i fear the future of mankind will end much sooner. we don't have myths and legends about advanced people that were wiped out for no reason, yet here we still are. humans follow a pattern, move to where the action is, big cities, along the coasts. The cities on the bottom of the ocean should send a chill down everyone spine.

I spent a few hours hunting with them and shooting their bows at camp. eating and chilling.... surreal experience.

Why do some people want to settle nomadic tribes, let them live however they want to, they live more harmoniously with nature then we do, they presence is actually beneficial to the ecosystem in which they live, those honey eating birds love these people and vica versa.

Good to see a video on Simon's heritage

They seem chill as hell

These folks sound really cool. They are fully aware of the world around them, they just couldn't care less about adapting to it. I think it's particularly interesting that they made themselves scarce during the height of European colonization. It shows clearly that they are as in tune with the intentions of other humans as they are with the movements and changes in their homeland over the course of the seasons.

The Hadza: Last of the First.

This was really interesting

This was a super interesting episode, really enjoyed lesrning about these people. Seriously mind boggling stuff when you really think about it... raising awareness is good, hopefully the modern world can protect them like India has done for the north sentenialese

americans "we are the most free people ever" meanwhile the hadza:

you should keep up the good work, its enjoyable

I've been to several of those places on the "journey", but I didn't take the train to Arusha -- I took a six-seater plane. It's considered the Gateway to the Serengeti. We went Toronto-London-Nairobi-Dar Es Salaam-Mwanza by plane. Then by car to Geita. That trip took nearly three days with all the layovers, etc. and I didn't sleep a wink. We were in Geita for a few weeks before taking the plane to Arusha to take a week-long safari. It was an exhausting trip, but if you ever get the chance, TAKE IT. The Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater are incredible!

That certainly isn't the last place where hunter gatherers still remain, far from it actually

Good, i thought we had no longer *Places* Episodes...

these i find interesting people not because of what they do. but because of how they interact with others. To be hunter gather and see and be aware of all that goes outside your culture. Yet not be hostile to it, dismissive, or keep distance, all well staying as hunter gathers and keeping that that system. Is very interesting, I wonder why they keep to this system? Is it a general comfort to that life style.

Language and oral traditions outlast time capsules?

Im confused. Is Tanzania supposed to be pronounced like that, or is it supposed to be "tan-zan-eeha"? Or am i thinking of somewhere else entirely? EDIT: There have now been multiple people in the responses all defending three different pronunciations and all claiming to either be natives or citizens of the country in question. All leading me to the conclusion that language is weird and, depending on regional accents and what a person's native language is, neither pronunciation is incorrect. I didn't intend to spark a comment war 😂 I was just curious if I had been saying wrong all my life.

Well, he did say they don't reject society, they just choose to ignore the bits that don't matter to them. I also noticed they prefer Okabashi sandals...in cute multi colors for the kids...which kind of showed good sense. All of them wore cargo shorts, too. Like they come across a good idea, go with it, and keep their own culture where their own culture is the better way. I had a friend who was also from a hunter gatherer society in Peru. He's an electrical engineer now. But he goes home often, and he said his village did the same thing. The whole group decided what was good for them and would organize how to get it, right down to who needed to go find work in society, so they could go buy it. But what they saw as problems in the society around them, they left that be.

They sound a lot like Native Americans. And the same thing will probably happen as people want their land.

Another channel? Simon, what subscription service do you use for Ritalin? Asking for a friend.

Isn't the country pronounced Tan-zuh-NEE-uh? Not Tan-ZANE-ee-uh like Simon kept saying it.

Am I the only one bothered by how he’s pronouncing Tanzania? I googled and can’t find a single dialect that says “tan-zany-uh”. It’s “tan-zuh-knee-uh”.
