Homestay with the Batwa Pygmies – Lonely Planet Travel Video
Posted on February 20th, 2010 by admin
In Burundi in East Africa a small village of Batwa Pygmies opens its first eco-tourism venture. We were the first guests to experience their hospitality – and we highly recommend it! If you would like to try it too, details appear in the end credits of the clip.

are they true pygmy …
are they true pygmy? i hate that word it is the equivalent of calling a black person nigger,collored negro, and even black in that matter..we don’t know our history in it’s full extent and black is a color not a nation…i think there is a bigger story behind this.. a cover up or something….in the congo they are enslaving them for the british to grow palm trees for some oil used to make perfume..we true people of afrika are fading away from this planet fast…..and we are clueless

HeruKing…….. …
HeruKing……..Which white supremacist system do you mean exactly? I live under a benign black government right now but I have lived under a black supremacist system in the past, and do you know what? It was, and still is one of the most corrupt and murderous regimes ever to rule in any African country. Unless you have lived in Africa, you can have no opinion worthy of consideration. You epitomise the worst of black blood – jealous, bitter , old and twisted, and lost in historical hatred!

chellepower thank …
chellepower thank you. I was just testing HeruKing to see if had any human blood in him, but it seems I was wasting my time – I should have known he was a fleabrained skunk all along! ….he he he

whoa, shut up guys. …
whoa, shut up guys. you both sound like idiots arguing on a youtube video. Oh yeah ironic that throbule calls HeruKing uneducated, but has the some of the best grammar I’ve ever seen on Youtube Comments ever. Lol.
February 20th, 2010 at 9:27 am
And there I was …
And there I was thinking that you were just a bigot! I now realise that you an unbelievably stupid bigot. You are a disgrace to the human race , black or white for being so utterly uneducated. You really do need to stop smoking dope, get out more and get an education. As a blackman with the opinions you have you will stay in your insular ghetto and remain the laughing stock of intelligent people everywhere.
February 20th, 2010 at 9:27 am
HeuKing…….You …
HeuKing…….You are just an unthinking bigot man! First of all I am not white nor am I Christian (not any other religion). Apart from anything else, I believe there is only one race – THE HUMAN RACE! The nature of mankind is changing all the time but there is nothing worse than a black crakkka – You need to read more, stop smoking dope, get out more and have some fun, and try to be a little less stupid than you can help…….

HeruKing……Grow …
HeruKing……Grow up you stupid, racist boy! These people are not colonialist from 200m years ago – they are bringing much needed money into Africa that helps people eat and feed their kids. You are a perfect example that ‘White idiots’ are no different to ‘Black idiots’ – There is no place for your ridiculous opinion in the 21 st century!!!!

Ouch, tough luck …
Ouch, tough luck there dude… That’s a First Nations proverb, not an African one.
You know… those people who were almost completely wiped out and driven off their land and converted to christianity? Not the people who still live on their land, own each other as slaves, and still chop off each other’s legs so witch doctors can brew up sex drugs for them?
Epic fail, dude… Epic fail.

I’m amazed by their …
I’m amazed by their hospitality. Its so touching that they stayed up all night to watch the foreigners. We usually greet foreigners with suspicion and hostility. The pygmies treated their foreigners like kings, without knowing what their intentions were for staying there. I’m in love with their selflessness and culture. I would like to visit this place one day. Thanks for sharing this video, and teaching me something new!

but were can you go if you want to stay with the really small ones then?
February 20th, 2010 at 9:27 am

all people should be forced to live like the pygmies,for their entire lives!
February 20th, 2010 at 9:27 am
Unfortunately these …
Unfortunately these african ppl are naturally loving & trusting to all foreign enemy that show up in their village.
February 20th, 2010 at 9:27 am
yup. how many …
yup. how many people do you think know how to kill, skin, and process their own food. how many people know how to grow their own. if you were ill or injured do you know what plants to collect to make you better? not everyone. we are all dependent on the system.
February 20th, 2010 at 9:27 am
You are right on …
You are right on point. I feel sorry for the children of now and tomorrow. They’ll be nothing but slaves to debt and bills.
Why are men and women bringing more slaves into this world, anyway? I don’t understand what’s wrong with mothers and fathers. Weird.

the nwo dont want …
the nwo dont want them. what they want is to displace all hunter/gatherer societies that can exist without modern comforts and “necessities”.
they want everyone dependent on them and their economy. they want all knowledge of how to survive in the wild erased.
February 20th, 2010 at 9:27 am
Those natives …
Those natives should quit dancing and singing stupid songs! Those westerners are there to recrute them for the NEW WORLD ORDER! Those eco-tourism ventures should end right there.

Oh yah, you can post your comment on my page (instead of on here) if you want.
