Africa's Hidden History: Sailing From Kenya to Zanzibar | Timeline
The battered dhow carves its passage though the tourmaline waters of the South Indian Ocean. Its patched lateen sail fat with monsoon wind, the salt air fragrant with cloves. Barely heard at first, the faint cry of a muezzin crackles through the dawn’s early light. Heads turn to the horizon. The turbaned helmsman eases off the sailrope &…

Met some guys restoring a beached ship on the Irriwaddy near Pagan, Burma. Probably 90 feet, made entirely of teak. They lived on it, and tbh didn't seem to be in much of a hurry. Lol…

What a wonderful episode thanks for taking us with you
My fovorite episode keep on watching this again and again.❤
lovely film , reminds me of allen villiers sons of sinbad
Outstanding!
17:05 “150 years ago these people could have been slaves or victims” why do you white people use this language? Africa existed before the 150 years and if there’s a need to mention years, then why not talk about what they could have been before or after slave trade? White people are weird people even when you think someone like David Adams has a bit of sense if since education if off the table.
When was the last time you danced for joy with your workmates?!! Not a bad life these Dow sailors have. May they be well wherever they be.
that voodoo village reveals to me why i went to so many raves. i thought it was healing too.
brilliant. what a great adventure and learning experience. i gotta brighten up my own life!
I love the docs of David Adams. Him, the fantastic footage, I thank you.
Oh my God this is so interesting, amazing history. The people you will meet in your life are pictured here 😂. Kerpini not depini as we know of it. 😅 Is this the face of the British crown King Edward,second in line for the british throne ?
idk bout you…but a crazy screaming black man wearing sheep wool and mixing his blood and water as a medicine to cure woman of doing a fake demonic dance isnt uhhhhh….isnt gonna work.
You're the best
He paid $32 for the dhow trip. Thats so sad. He should have paid $3,200.
The documentary is great.
Barclyas

This is on another level. David Adams is an African by nature.
I love Zeanzibar
True brotherhood love this
Great show mate
ramsey clone
''Lateen sails'', was a technology adopted by the Swahili and Arabs from the Byzantines that operated in the area. These sails were revolutionary in that it allowed the ships to gain propulsion even when sailing upwind. Go Byzantines.
Very nice documentary
My new favorite show ! These docos are awesome!
Wow I'm so captivated by David Adams documentaries. Feel like I was on the journey too. Makes me want to pack my bags and go on a lifetime of adventures
Who else feels this story about Kenya is told differently? No biasness of speaking of corruption, violence as if Kenya is unique for corruption and violence…forgetting we there is shooting each day in the western world… Let alone homelessness
40:20 It's not a voodoo island. It's deeply offensive to the peoples of East Africa. Get a better research team. Otherwise, first-class documentary.
I grew up a good part here. All the places are so familiar to me and I speak Swahili.
I own a house but have been trapped on the UK due to illness which h rules out travel.
Should be good to proceed in two years.
Voodoo? That's a Haitian word. Sihiri, mganga or uchawi are Swahili.
