 Good morning, from The Wilderness Wow Best nights ever since I came to Malawi If someone ever tell me that I've woken up in the wilderness in Malawi I'll definitely tell you that Thats a dream But that dream became... A reality Best days of my life man  printers కిలిాలిహింరకిఆకి కింటాల౾ా కిలటికికిూటికింట్చినచింటిఆన్చిలౣకికిక్టికికి. If people tell you that Africans live in the wilderness, tell them its true. If people ever tell that Africans live with animals, tell them its true. because I am a living testimony. I'm actually staying in a large built in a game reserve so I'm sleeping in the middle of a national park with a raver ride in front of me I decided not to close my door and sleep I mean look at that this is how I slept last night because I want to have the full experience of this place it's rather unfortunate that I spent the night alone in the wilderness without my wife that's the only mistake that I've done because this resort is more like a combination of romance and luxury the meaning of luxury to me is not the material things that you see in the lodge but to me the meaning of luxury is waking up in nature imagine yourself in nature I'm just here alone this place is so huge like very spacious I don't know if you guys can see me I'm just walking from end to end and I have this whole place to myself everything in here is built with local material and it's local to the standard even the owner of this lodge is Malawi Africa is the best place to be Africa is the most exciting continent in the whole world Africa is the best place of humanity I think I'm married to Africa because the more I travel in Africa the more I get wet to describe this continent because I don't think I will ever be who I am if I did not believe and embrace Africa and this is why I'm on this journey to tell each and everyone of you to start embracing the motherland what does Africa means to you can I know that in the comment section what does Africa means to you to me it means so much to me that I've invested my hope and my future into it how about you I mean look at this like this look at this look at this like this is why I spent a night right in front of me is the Boa River and you could see the sunrise right in front of me keep quiet we are in nature I just close my eyes just to listen to the sounds of the chirping birds it's so therapeutic it's so peaceful out here my goodness if you ever live here you definitely gonna live long it's about time Africans embrace this continent explore it live in it invest in it I've no words I've definitely have no words because people might think I keep repeating the same words it's not it's not my fault because it feels the same way in every part of Africa that you go what does Africa means to you I really wanna know I wanna tell you come explore Malawi whenever you come to Malawi come and live in nature come and immerse yourself in wilderness and whenever you're looking for the best place to live in the wilderness make sure you choose it's my first night in here and I'm loving it it's my first day in here and I don't know what to tell you my god wow I think I need to show you guys around man for you to know what I'm talking about oh my goodness the birds the birds the birds that's a crocodile oh my god that's a crocodile walking in the wilderness immersing myself in nature I really love the exclusivity of this lodge because there are only four cottages in here and that's it I mean you don't have to build so many cottages by destroying the environment you keep the environment the way it is so at a time only four people are welcome in here I mean if you come with your family you're gonna be in one room so yeah let's take it at eight people allowed in here there's one cottage that takes family so if you wanna come with your friends and family that cottage is for you but it feels good knowing that I'm just alone in nature I'm just alone experiencing nature it's so unique and this is what I'm telling you guys man if an African listen to me stop going to other part of the world and start looking for what is within Africa and explore it I mean you can be from Ghana and fly to Malawi and come and stay in here come all the way from Nigeria it's exciting to see Africans traveling within Africa yes I know that our leaders are still sleeping I can testify that because it's about time to open borders it's about time to I mean give visa free for every African to explore there are various African countries because see if you visit Africa you find out that you are not a foreigner in any African country because you gonna see similarities of the things that you do in your various countries the food that you eat, the culture everything is so similar and I will be so happy to see more Africans traveling within Africa you see imagine I'm a Ghanaian and I'm in Malawi and I'm enjoying Malawi I don't feel like a foreigner in here after coming to Malawi I will tell you that Malawians are the friendliest kindness and happy people in Africa no doubt about that so they won't even make you feel like you are a foreigner in here they treat you as their own you know we go to so many countries we spend our money in different countries and at the end of the day we get disrespected no one is gonna disrespect you whenever you embrace what is in Africa and that's what I'm telling you it's about time our leaders wake up open the borders to allow Africans to come and experience what is in Africa you know it's sad when you go to places like this and you don't see your own and you see people from other part of the world experiencing what is meant for people on the land for somebody coming all the way from America to Europe it's so easy to enter diverse African countries than even ourselves as Africans your honeymoon can be here your wedding anniversary can be here your 10 days holidays can be here I mean when you take vacations from work it can be here let's normalize Africans travelling within Africa to experience what we have in Africa I think I need to convince you more so I won't stop here I'm gonna show you more what I see maybe you will come here tomorrow this lodge is all about exclusivity whenever you come in here your food will be prepared from scratch most of the crops or most of the vegetables that are used in here are grown within the enclave so whenever you come here you know that you're gonna be hungry in the next 30 minutes make sure you order your food in the next one hour to get it so one hour ahead use 30 minutes to prepare your food and you'll eat fresh food from the garden of Eden and believe me I have been here and none of the food goes wrong man I know you all will be inspired after seeing this video and you might want to come leave an experience such a beautiful place in Africa yes this is Africa this is Malawi but we are not in the capital of Malawi so wherever you fly from your various countries just land in the capital but if you really want to get here faster there is an air strip within the game reserve but if you love nature and you want to drive along the coast I mean I'm saying the coast because Lake Malawi is here so if you want to drive along Lake Malawi you drive in and you go to this place is called Nikota and Kota Game Reserve as soon as you get here all you need to do is to drive 18 kilometers from the game reserve gate to this place listen I thought I was scared but when I got here last night I felt like that was the best thing I've ever done in my whole life so yeah I just want you to come along with me whenever you come with a car this is your car park you're gonna park right over here and walk to the reception if you walk to the reception you're gonna meet you with juices I did that yesterday that's why I couldn't show you right now but let me take you to the reception man come along with me should I tell you that the breeze in here feels different or should I tell you that the birds in here chefs differently or should I tell you that the sounds of the hippos in here is so different what else do I tell you even the crocs in here are so big I don't even know what I'm saying but you can follow with that I'm just I'm just super excited whenever I find myself in nature but don't worry if you're a big fan of wifi when you come in here you got wifi at the reception but in your room no internet it's just you your soul your body in mess in nature Africa is a paradise once again God took His time to create Africa for Africans and it's about time each and every African enjoy and experience what God gave to them anytime I talk about Africa I become so emotional because I feel like Africa got everything and I want to ask you a question we got everything but what else don't we have leave that in the comment section so welcome to Tom Gaule Wilderness Lodge and whenever you come here you meet this gentleman who is what's the name by the way you'll be Thompson you'll be Thompson the manager of this restaurant I'm the manager of this place yes that's amazing it's good to see you thank you I had an awesome night and I'm telling them to come and spend a night in here too but maybe they won't believe me so I want to ask you what is so unique about the lodge well as you rightly said we are right in the forest reserve of Inquata Gota wildlife reserve that's the best thing and when you're done with the hectic life out there you come here you just detoxify yourself so this is the best place that you can relax it's a spoiled place it's disconnected from the rest of the world so it's just you and nature just you and nature but I love the design of the reception mind blowing right take some brains to come up with this creativity yes at its best it's like woods it's our world just to blend with the nature that we are in so this is why it's called an eco lodge and we've been operating without disturbing the environment itself and that's the reason behind this structure this is beautiful and one of the best thing that I've heard about this resort is the fact that the owner of this resort is a woman and she built this in honor of his younger brother who died at the age of sixteen in London where he saw new rest in Perth for Tuonga kalanga kalua and the sales and marketing person for Dongolewood and its retreat so Dongolewood was built in memory of my late brother his name was B2B Ko kalanga so we used to stay in the United Kingdom and then he was he died in a car accident on the 31st of January 2007 when he was coming from a football training he was a really good footballer so he was signed at a certain football club that he was supposed to go play so every time my dad used to drop him every Wednesday but this Wednesday he told my dad that I'm going to go with my friends for the football training and unfortunately he never came back home that's where the accident happened so by the time that he was having the accident he had a girlfriend they had only dated for one month and the name of the girl was Hannah so Hannah V2 introduced us to the family my brother's name was V2B Ko so V2 introduced us to the girlfriend's family and we just clicked so when he died we came back home and he got buried here and Hannah's family wanted to come and visit see where he was buried so that's how they got to see Malawi and as we were travelling about Hannah's dad and my dad Hannah's dad David and my dad became really close and they agreed that what is it that we can do in memory of him so that's where the Tongoli dream started and they built Tongoli in memory of him in memory of V2 what is the motive behind it so my brother wanted to be a doctor he died when he was 16 he was still in high school so he just had started his air levels lower air levels so he wanted to be a doctor so we wanted to keep that dream alive to help the community around Tongoli those that are not able to have finances to support their children for school so that's how the dream of Tongoli foundation started so what happens is we find some guests that come to Tongoli we get them to meet the community so sometimes they help the community they say we want to help so we thought that it would be a good idea to have a school close by because many kids around the community used to travel long distance to go and study so that's where the idea came to build a school close by so that kids walk for long distances also we find kids and we link them with sponsors in the UK so people from the UK if they can come and they will decide we want to sponsor this kid so that's how we help the community so what we do we also go around communities and there are schools that we know that they are lacking we demolish old buildings and then build new schools for example Changkoku school we had to demolish some buildings and rebuild the school because the buildings were completely run down so we built and we found another sponsor who provided the solar system so we put solar there and then also provided the school with tablets that the kids should learn through tablets so we usually get volunteers from the UK that come and help us so they will pay for the lodge at the same time they will also pay something towards the foundation and they come themselves to paint the schools and to provide the materials for the schools like pencils not pads and everything else that the kids need and they also find other kids that they sponsor this is beautiful man like everything here is wood with the exception of this I think inside here it's going to be clay because clay goes to it exactly that you just got it right hi what did you say? Bewo hello oh hello please greet me in an African language Chichewa Chichewa how do you say hello in Chichewa? Takulandilani Takulandilani Takulandilani welcome to Malawi last night there was bonfire right there but I love your decks man yeah they're very good they're just a strategy they're placed for observation so sometimes if you're kind of this guy who don't like moving around you just sit there watch bad life you watch the animals coming in drink and go you got everything just a package in here this is what I'm telling you Africa is a paradise and it's about time Africans come and experience it what is the name of the lodge? once again it's called Tangole Wilderness Retreat okay it's a retreat it is I have to take you to my room where I go for retreat whenever I spend a night in here so I'm just gonna do a room review so that I will convince you to come and stay here about this equal lodge celebrate three things about Africa African excellence because it's owned by an African African's beauty because we are surrounded by natural beauty and finally African culture this is the African way of living and it feels so good that it got a bit touch of modernity to what we used to live in those days living in a touch house I mean I can't live in a touch house with the queens but unfortunately I'm here without a queen that is the only thing that I'm not celebrating about Africa today but anyway let me take you to where I spend the night one thing that I really love the fact that it's so spacious you got the entire building to yourself wow this is indeed a palace and in the palace I love the fact that everything you see is wood and this wood can be found in this wilderness so basically you are living in the wilderness surrounded by everything within the wilderness oh my goodness the bed is extremely soft but I felt like it was easy to make babies in here but anyway the best way to enjoy without making babies is use your pillow I'm saying all this just because in the room every octopus in here demonstrates that you're not supposed to be here alone you got the king right here and the queen at the other side and in case you want to make babies in here you got baby ride in the middle now you know what I'm saying clap for me in the comment section I'm super genius man but hey do me a favor like this video now thank you subscribe and help us reach 2 million subscribers by the end of this one we can do it all it takes for you to do is to click on the share button so that all this can have a piece of this video so it's so spacious you can just sit in here I was working last night just right here just doing my thing and that I'm done if you want to charge your stuff you can charge it in here and if you want to make yourself some tea because it's extremely cold out here so make sure you drink hot tea no cold water this is my favorite part of the room this is a jacuzzi made out of clay soil from the land in here so basically if I was not alone if I had a loved one in here I would have just been in here together with and then we just enjoy the view from outside so out here you can still see the river in here if you don't want the river view all you need to do is to close this but believe me the best view is when this is open wow it gives you more like a a leaf I don't know if you can see it that's the shape of a leaf do I make sense I don't know but let me know in the comment section this is designed with wood everything in here is wood this is also wood and you got your hot water and cold water so don't worry and if in case you don't want to use the jacuzzi you got a proper shower and when I showered last night it was extremely hot and I felt so good but you see this this is more like a partition so this is my towel I did this I've closed it now I've got an open and take you guys to the room sorry go to the room to the toilet in the toilet this is the only ceramic thing you can find in here this one but yet this one is still wood and clay combined together the tiro that's creativity I did the best wood this one wood wood where you hang your towel this wood everything in here is wood where you put your dead clothes is wood where you hang your clothes is wood where you put your phone in case you want to just put your phone out here love chasing waterfalls and when I came to Tongola and they told me that there is a waterfall around which is five kilometers I'm like you know what I'm gonna hike just to go see because I'm just doing a collective of different waterfalls across Africa and probably this is gonna be the fifth one I've seen a waterfall in a different country let's go this is more like a spring I don't know how to call it this is beautiful the water pass is here yeah this is it the whole place is good for yeah this is beautiful man it's an elephant poop yeah so it means elephants are around here nah they can come as far as here oh really yeah see elephant poop does this waterfall has a name yes it's called motor motor waterfall motor falls motor falls yeah okay so let's go see how beautiful motor looks like it's really exciting to see a new waterfall that I've never seen across my travels and it looks so incredible behind me this is what proves to me that God exists
