- Inside Africa's Largest Floating Village! (GANVIE) is a video about me exploring Ganvie which is a lake village in the Benin Republic, Africa, lying in Lake Nokoué, near Cotonou. I take a trip to this village and explore how people here live. With a population of around 45,000 people, it is probably the largest lake village in Africa and is very popular with tourists. I definitely recommend this place if you are looking for things to do in Benin republic. Do like, watch and enjoy.

Go find your village go ND live
Thank you for bringing this to us, there’s a similar village in Ghana 🇬🇭 called Nzulezu
There are many similar cultures in Africa. This tells us Africans are indeed one ☝🏽 people 🖤🤝
I have been to Ganvie and it is a sight to see! There is so much to see in Benin - a beautiful country. Didn’t know that it is bigger than Makoko village in Lagos. Well done Taiyo. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
What took you there?
These videos makes our days better
It brings me back to 90s when I first visited the island what a nostalgia thank you for the video Tayo for good work and your passion for Africa.
This was so fascinating.. everything is done on water. Incredible!
The same water is used for toilet, for drink, for shower, for garbage, etc...
@@rivartnorton6030But still they are alive and their population is growing...
Another beautiful piece from this great son of Africa.asante
You are simply in your Own League as we discover Africa through Your Lense! Wow! What a loaded educational and informational video.
I am extremely blown by this information.
You're the BEST in African excellence in content creating. The experience you are giving us through lense is in a whole other level. Just wow!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks for watching. Appreciate you always 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I swearr
I can feel the peace in this place. 😇
The village has a lot to offer with friendly people.
Telling our stories by ourselves!😍Taiyo Aina much love.Africa to the world.
Thanks for watching! 🙏🏾
I really like how original this video is. It's not too serious. I love it
Thanks for watching 🙏🏾
I love the love Mr Aina is having for my Country!
Thanks for visiting.
Your country is Beautiful bro!!!
Beninese would never promote Nigeria
@@AfriPrincess411 Nooo Pls....don't speak this way! We have a cordial relationship.
@@Nicholas-kn6hl not only relationship same traditions but many nigerians don't understand. Kudos to tayo aina for enlighten.
@@Nicholas-kn6hl they need to let my boy Sunday out though :cries:
This is a beautiful site. The people are beautiful, lovely, and friendly.
Our Yoruba family lol, it's fascinating mixing yoruba with french like when you pronounced the price in English and she had to say it in french.
😂😂😂 I was struggling to understand the French
@@TayoAinaFilms 😂
Your so open-minded nice point u picked up
They actually have their native language.the youbas are actually a tribe there and their dialect is quite different from the Nigeria yoruba.I speak one of the languages which is Ogu alada
But I was born in Nigeria,Badagry so lol yeh
Also not all them can speak French fluently just like some Nigerians can’t speak fluent English.so they speak pidgin french
Thanks Tayo for sharing this VALUABLE and INFORMATIVE content of GANVIE lake village in Benin Republic with the global AFRICAN community! We are collectively CHANGING the NARRATIVES of every village, town, city, and nations across our beautiful Motherland one day at a time! 😊😊😊😊✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
If only I could subscribe more than ones...👍nice one!
This is a Photographer's dream ... 😍 all i see is a collection of beautiful pictures of people just living their daily lives in Ganvie .
For real.
If they know their stuff, they will blow the world with images from this place for days.
Nice one
Cleaner than Makoko, nice video.
This place is so amazing, clean and neat, thanks for showing the positive side of Africa to the world
Sorry, This is not clean man!
It can't be clean
Where do they get water for cooking?
A bro I gotta let you know man you guys are doing something fantastic
thank you 🙏
There's a place in Asia that's pretty much like this, the name escapes me right now, but they attract millions of tourists annually. I'm not saying this place should become a tourist trap, but it's sure got a lot of potential.
Another cool thing about African countries that I love is how the average person speaks 3-4 languages.
Thanks for another incredible video bro. Now I want to go visit Ganvie.
Yes, I know exactly what you’re talking about and that’s the first place I thought about when I saw this video.
The country I believe is Thailand and Damnoen Saduak is the most famous water market.
Tourists especially from Europe and America's bring alot of bad habits to local villages . . If the villagers are happy and comfortable let them stay that way
The Makoko or Nzulezu of Benin not Venice of Africa 😂
Wode maya, they are the same people living Makoko 95 % are benin republic
@@edigeorge548 He meant we don't have to be using European city as a yardstick in this regard. Wode Maya is a pan Africanist!
I believe he said this- to give Americans a frame of reference - but now i have to go search The Makoko or Nzulezu of Benin 🏃🏿♀️🏃🏿♀️🏃🏿♀️
True!
What? Nzulezu is not in Benin I beg
And Nzulezu in Ghana, 🇬🇭 Ganvie in Benin 🇧🇯 and makoko in Nigeria 🇳🇬
Yessss
Tayo when next you go to Ghana kindly cover Nzulezu. Would love to learn about their history of their existence and what life is like of people in that community from You. Do us the honor in future 🙏🏾
Three books were written in the 1800s "The Tshi speaking peoples ", "The Ewe speaking peoples", and "The Yoruba speaking peoples". They give you a a comparative history of these three groups along the western coast
@@seismicvertigo345 Where can one get them. Please share. Will appreciate
Some in South Africa and Angola , guinea
I just have to applaud Tayo for this world class documentary. Quality sound, quality pictures
Wow, beautiful. This should be my next travel destination. 😲
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Well done Tayo. I learned something new today 😁🇺🇲 Thx👍🏾
It's heavenly...I love West Africa
It is black art and culture. Other parts of Africa are cool too :)
I was just reading about Ganvie last night Tayo and here you've dropped a video about it. Thanks. I didn't realize it was soo big. And it's great that you added the history of the town as well. I love the ingenuity of their floating hotel and their carvings
Ikr. A floating hotel, how cool!
A local woman can speak three languages. That's inspiring
Very! I was marveled too.
Don't forget her own local language making 4! A lot of Africans are multi-lingual for instance in parts of Benin and Togo people will speak various combinations of French, English, Ga, Ewe, Egun, Fon and Yoruba.
@@johnjackissorryinfrench7777 Yes it was 4
@@johnjackissorryinfrench7777 yeah.. that's crazy
A average south African from Gauteng province speak 3-6 languages .we Africans are amazing
@tayoaina have been waiting please drop more videos of Benin
This is unique and outstanding content! 😎 What a joy to hear of African people who evaded capture as slaves because of their strength and ingenuity. 👏🏼 It warms my heart to see the people of Ganvie maintaining so much of their original culture. Thank you for this enlightening video, great work! ☺️ Greetings from Southern California, USA. 🇺🇸👋🏼
There are many sites of refuge in Africa where people evaded capture into slavery. Mountainous areas were common places of escape. The Akoko region of South Western Nigeria had many settlements in the surrounding hills as the region was constantly raided by different armies for slaves. The Atakora hills in Ghana also served as refuge from slave raids.
So nice to be introduced to another historical part of Africa. 🙏🏽🙏🏽. Venice in Africa 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Tayo my brother.. Ur on another level now. Ur content and video..👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 Top notch..❤️🇿🇦
Cool! The banana lady speaks many languages
She is probably Yoruba from Benin Republic.
Tayo dude your content, research and filmmaking has grown immensely and you are a credit to Africa. Keep up the great work bro.
Thanks for showing the world this amazing floating village. You work is encouraging people to venture to these amazing places due to your content.
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Appreciate you taking the time to comment!
You sure are!
Thank you Tayo 😊 this is so good to know. And thanks for exchanging Yoruba with that banana lady 🖤
😁😁😁
Thanks so much Mr. Aina watching all the videos you did in Benin Republic 🇧🇯 really brought a lot of joy to me honestly, because my mum is from there and all her family lived over there, she has no one here in Nigeria except my dad and us (her children) . She visits Benin once in 2 years or more, and we the children barely visit. Seeing this video, men i just want to explore all of benin and get more closure to my families over there too. Thanks So much sir.
Waoh so beautiful
Ooh how I wish I can travel and explore the whole of Africa .one day is one day
This video is giving me vibe. I'm definitely going back to visit Benin and will visit here. Thanks for all Tayo♠️
Loved it! The fusion of French, Yoruba and English. The ambience, the people. I'll love to visit it one day. Oh and it's "Oui" for "Yes" not "Wi". You're doing an amazing job! Thank you Tayo. Merci beaucoup.
@@NG-fq5lf why not be technical ignorance is not a solution. Learning will not hurt you.
Benin🔥. I saw this village in the Netflix documentary High on the Hog and I thought of you
Oh really. I need to watch the movie I guess 🙌🏽
@@TayoAinaFilms Yes you should. It traces how African American food is connected to its African food roots
We check it out.
But I'm happy this under Tayo's belt!!!!!!
I will definitely visit someday
Thank you for bringing me memory from my country. Now that i am in the United States, this brings me joy.
I watch Tayo Aina vlogs every time and always learn something about vlogging.🙌🏿🙌🏿
If I’m counting well, the banana 🍌 seller is speaking 3 languages already 😅🔥
That is mind blowing. And her fluidity or change was just like, woooo . So beautiful to have experienced through his lense. Genuine organic interaction.
Welcome to Benin Republic bro , you are doing well
O my! Tayo, this wad Amazing to watch.
I think you should submit it to the CAN festival competition under documentary section. 👌🏾👌🏾
Wow.. Similar to Nzulezu in Ghana 🇬🇭.. Bigups Tayo
Those who disliked this wonderful docu…ain’t in a place of peace. Heal haters! 😂
😂😂😂😂
Tayo, Omo Aina, how far youngman ? ? You're doing an exemplary job ! ! Keep 'em comin' ! ! Blessings & Prosperity 👉🏾👌🏾✌🏾👍🏾🙏🏾💪🏾
Le Benin est un beau pays. Peace and love from Senegal
Le Sénégal aussi est un beau pays.
I'm still waiting for the Porto Novo tour ( project sunghai) .
When I thought have seen it all here comes another thing to make me sounds like an ambulance wow wow
Tayo its the same people at Makoko Lagos lagoon. Same people at Nzulezu Benin republic, some tribe in Benin Cotonou are Yoruba speaking, we were separated by maps.you can paddle your canoe from Lagos to Cotonou within ours.
TRUE 💯👍
But how did they get to Nzulezu which I understand is in Ghana. That one is confusing me
A very honest presentation. Well done Tayo and keep it up.
It's so nice that Yoruba is spoken in other African countries Amazing!
This is Benin. They have Yorubas in that country who are indegenous
They have indigenous Yoruba population in Benin Republic.
Because you guys are talking about colonizers borders, get real
So much to see in Africa.
Another beautiful video, Thank you Tayo 🎉
Again...thanks for this authentic content.!!

Thanks brother. Proud of my country 🇧🇯🇧🇯🇧🇯
Quite an interesting place
💤💚 Amazing life 🙏 Thank You
There's a place like this in the boundary between ondo and edo state in Nigeria...I think the name is arogbo...
The way the functions of the boats are divided is funny.
1. One for me to go and catch the fish
2. Second for the women to go and sell the fish 🐠 caught
3. Third for the children to go to school...
Tayo!!! You are INCREDIBLE!!! Documentary about Africa?🙈
It looks like a place i can visit it looks like an adventure and relatively clean.
Amazing Tayo ! I enjoyed every bit of the video.
Cheers!
That was really lovely and I see the intelligence of it all. Africa is blessed.
