I've visited dozens of indigenous tribes around the world, but no experience has been quite like this one, on the tri-country border of Zambia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. My wife, Deanna, and I spent 2 days driving on long dirt roads to meet the Vadoma tribe, who are the only humans on earth that genetically have 2 toes on each foot.
I came here to find out their story, spread awareness about their struggles and learn what life would be like with this shocking condition. I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments down below - have you ever heard of the Vadoma tribe? What do you think about their feet?

I am Zimbabwean, and there has never been a conflict between Zimbabwe and Zambia. Well in recent history.
"The Path Guided by Gods and Buddhas
O people of the world
To save you, I fear not the red demon’s cruelty
The truth I offer you is your hope
It will help you cough up the pill of delusion you were forced to swallow
Seeing Dafa [Great Law] that guides your return to heaven
And hearing the Creator’s call
For this you descended to the world, enduring bitter sufering
Saving people amid danger is my promise
This is the path guided by Gods and Buddhas
Autumn 2011
***
A Song in My Heart
In the depths of my heart is an ancient song
Its melody flows with a longing
Whenever I’m wounded, in body or heart
Whenever I feel lost in my life
This song I will sing in my heart, silently
To kindness I hold on, and there will be hope
Our home is in heaven
This melody I’ll never forget
Autumn 2011
***
True Words
Formation-stability-degeneration-disintegration is the law
Cosmic bodies will meet with disaster at the end
Seeking Dafa to save beings in heavens
Myriad Gods came down to the world, enduring hardship
Do not miss what you’ve been awaiting for thousands of years
The Creator, the Lord God, has come long ago
Spreading Dafa widely and saving all beings
The red demon spreads lies, churning up dust
Hard to tell truth from falsity-heart is the guide
Don’t you see the heavenly gate is open, after eons
In delusion, you’ve forgotten who you are
The truth of Dafa solves the riddle
Your heavenly family is waiting
Quickly board the Fa boat, shedding your human skin

He's referring to slight disagreements regarding water management but he blew it way out of proportion 😂
Do Zambians see it the same? Putin also said it was not a war, while Ukrainians said it was! Lol
@@eswarjuri No, Zambians don't think they're at war. Like I said in my previous comment, it's minor disagreements over water management. All countries that share a border along a major river both sides rely on will have disputes. It's governmental and as the original comment suggest; the people aren't even aware, that's how minor the dispute is 😂
Thank you for the truthful information about your country
There’s no conflict between Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 and Zambia 🇿🇲. $125 for a permit 😲! You were scammed by both your driver and the officials. I come from that district and the major issue in that area is poaching that’s why there’s a lot of Police activity
😂😂😂...
I think he knows that he pretty much said that
He knew he was scammed but never thought his driver was involved which is very likely.
@@jamesderouensr.149this dude lies a lot he called it a conflict zone jus what conflict is he talking about???
Where does that money go???
Should be in the villagers hands
This is why a diverse gene pool is so important to prevent things like this from happening.
What do you mean?
@@jdos5643 Having a gene pool without diversity leads to deformities like this. Most small communities all around the world struggle with keeping the gene pool diverse and as a result have a much higher rate of defects like this. This is also why royalty (which practice incest/family intermixing) had so many deformities.
@@G33K01345 so in other words you’re trying to say sweet home Alabama?
@@jdos5643 Not necessarily. Most communities that are small and distant from other areas just don't have the travel of persons in and out to encourage more diverse meetings. There's also a lack of sex ed and keeping track of genealogies.
Unintentional incest mostly where red states don't have an excuse.
@@G33K01345 It's sad you had to explain that to someone. When you see common deformities like this it's always these small tribes in the middle of nowhere, where everyone is at least distantly related. Almost everyone has that gene that creates the deformity. You see this problem with small tribes in Tanzania where Albinism is common.
There has never been conflict between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Zambia has always been peace. We supported our Zimbabwean brothers and sisters fight colonialism.
Who is trying to colonise you?
@@kingcosworth2643 He is referring to the Rhodesian War where Chinese backed communists over threw the white dominated democratic Rhodesian government which was backed by some of the tribes. Went from the bread basket of Africa to a corrupt nightmare.
Drew, there's a reason you are famous but dangit I love the respect you show to people. I'd never heard of these Zimbabwean people and had a blast watching this video, learning, and seeing you caringly share. Thanks
Thanks !!!
Surely more than 1 bicycle could have been given - at least 3. Drew has enough sponsors & connects to fund these
@@nouvel0001I agree
Ja e already donated food. Appreciate that. Who buys so much food for people even your own politicians? Be thankful and don't expect too much
@@nouvel0001I agree. Mostly because my concern is that he may get bullied or the bike stolen or someone may pop the tire…something. If I were Drew, I would try to find some sponsors or buy at least 10 for the community to share. No offense Drew, I know it’s a lot when you visit people in need but can’t give everything. But singling one out when others may need this in that community may strain the one who has and definitely the ones that don’t.
Drew your wife is an amazing woman, she's hanging in there with you, without complaining, without looking funny at the lodging for the night, truly an amazing woman. The people there are also amazing. The world is such a big place, we forget that there are people in various parts of the world who don't live like us. Your videos are so revealing about people around the world and that's a beautiful thing.
Why would she complain about lodging in a developing country, is that what you think wives do?
@@TrueWalker88 I think he just meant that she is a good match for Drew because they both have no problem staying in lower quality lodging compared to what they're used to, if it means that they get to travel the world and have unique experiences.
@@DarkCypher-xx7gs It's an odd comment because it's stating that it's amazing she does it, as if it's abnormal, and not stating the same for him. Seems obvious that his partner would be like him in this very basic trait.
@@TrueWalker88
Yes they do.
@@cooliipie Sounds like you're hanging around the wrong people. The women I know aren't like that.
Here in the Caribbean, there was one boy in the village next door, who was born similarly, with 2 toes on each foot,and and 3 fingers on each hand. He grew up doing everything that a normal boy would do, batting and bowling well when playing cricket. His writing hand was exceptional. He was in no way handicapped.
That’s beautiful to hear. I believe this condition happens though as a result of low folic acid during pregnancy. It could be that many women in this tribe are nutrient deficient on top of the defect being hereditary
I believe it's from inbreeding.
The Vadoma tribe was mentioned in the nature textbook when we were young, and we have seen their photos!
I was very surprised at that time. My classmates had imagined that they were the descendants of bird-men and humans!
Now we have learned that they are a very special group, and I hope they can receive the best care!
Thank you for introducing them and once again bringing back the world’s attention and my childhood memories, super great job! 👍🥰👏
The above is a scam, please be careful!
@@user-dk4ys3kg4c 👍😍👌
@user-dk4ys3kg4c 👍😍👌
@@user-dk4ys3kg4c Thank you very much! 👍🤩👌
Wow that’s so cool! Thanks for sharing!
thank you drew, Zimbabwe is truly a beautiful nation, I know many Zimbabwean people from Harare now living in the UK and there among some of the most hospitable, nicest people. Its a nation with a rich, ancient history, diverse ethnicities and languages and some of the most astoundingly preserved natural landscapes and environments in the world. I love Zimbabwe from Trinidad 🇹🇹🇿🇼
@AriannaBredinomds be quiet
@AriannaBredin 🤖 alert! At least it sends you to a nice video tho
Yes it’s amazing!!!!
😂
Rhodesians never die …
The guide paid 25 and kept the rest 😅 but good for him
Two bit crooks are everywhere 😂
So many people have commented that this guy scammed the tourists. What if he did earn an extra hundo? Whatever. It’s a good vid.
yeah, I was thinking the same thing
Drew's genuine respect for the Vadoma tribe in Zimbabwe is truly heartwarming.🙌
Thank you Drew for giving the young man the bike, that was so nice of you! Wishing you many blessings.
We need to be grateful for the life we live. There's people out there who have it a lot tougher than us.
So happy he got the bike ❤😊
Thank you Drew, you gave that kid a smile and he can always remember you.More blessings bro!
Am British Zimbabwean but l have never had of this tribe😢It means a lot Drew to educate us in such a way😊 we love you
It so nice to see a genuine person like you who goes around the world and show us many countries, various cultures and people .I follow you on CZcams for long time and I respect you a lot specially for the way you are helping all those in needs.
Thank you for sharing your travelling experiences with us.
You know that driver went inside and told that man hey let’s charge him $125 and will go half. Lol
That's the problem with Zimbabwens they like money and they don't like to tell the truth
Conflict between Zambia and Zimbabwe: Shows arrows flying😂
It’s hard to show conflict in 2 seconds !
@@drewbinsky Bro, we've NEVER been at war with Zambia. Who is lying to you??
Lies lies lies😮
There's no conflict never has been
@@drewbinskyliar
What a beautiful group of people. They deserve our love and care and from those nearest to them also.
Great video! Love seeing your wife travel with you. Stay safe! ❤ God Bless.
I truly admire Diana for the understanding and participating in the videos of the different cultures.
Thank you for sharing. It is so important for us to see people from all walks of life. You do a great job of telling their stories.❤
I agree!
thank you for supporting this tribe with necessities. This is so important especially now.
it would be so amazing if a fund can be setup for all these individual indigenous communities shown on the channel -- so their way of life can be supported by viewers on youtube
Thank you for brining them a dose of happiness.
Keep up the good work brother, you are inspiring me a lot.
Peace and love to Zimbabwe, showing love from Tanzania 🇹🇿
Thank you Drew. Your reporting is very informative. Thanks for giving them a voice . And thanking you for buying the young boy the bike. You are the Greatest.
I've been watching your videos for several years now and I just wanna say you have matured a lot and have really improved your video making skills since I first started watching you. Keep it up!
Awesome content as always.

Amazing job to project their voice to the world through your platform, well done
There has never been a conflict between Zambia and Zim, theres nothing to fight over, and everything shared

I think his driver just scammed him out of $125. LOL
Im happy seing your wife in your vlogg,shes very cooperative in your work,Mabuhay kayo,from Philippines ❤❤❤
Crazy video, Drew! Thanks for keeping me updated of places everywhere!

@@drewbinsky there was never a conflict between zambia and zimbabwe. That area is remote and most of it is a game park ravaged by poachers
❤❤❤❤much love brother drew have blessed weekend the 🐐
Great video, as always! I'm really surprised how quick and well Diana was communicated with the people of this tribe, including the children! She's truly an amazing person
I love stories like these. I also love random acts of kindness. Hats of to you. May God bless you and keep you all safe.

Absolutely…. it’s a gene defect that is being passed on. ❤
This is amazing.
Awesome .. thank you for reaching this places and sharing this stories and experiences.
Obviously, they have small genetic pool. All being related to the first member with the genetic mutation.
Ur African Tribe Videos are heartwarming and lovely, these People are pure Sunshine💛🫶 very friendly People, open, welcoming, helping each other. I miss this in middle Europe🥲❤
Love your videos Drew, watching your videos made me realize i want to see the world and travel just like you do!
He's lying to you
Wow, what a treat of an amazing story. I had no idea of the existence of this tribe. Such a valuable material! I am less ignorant thanks to this video.
Great guy, wonderful lady and heartwarming storytelling.
Thank you very much!
You're a good person Drew Binsky. I always learn something amazing here too. One of my favorite channels.
yo this is amazing, thanks for the video
Stay safe Drew! Nice video ty 😊
Drew thanks for excellent content, I live in South Africa and have never heard of the Vadoma people.
As I was near the last few seconds of the video, I was thinking about commenting, "can we get that child a bike??" Then, true to form, Mr. Drew came through and didn't let that go unnoticed. Respect. God bless these people, their beautiful tribe that is full of years and generations of strength, uniqueness, and what seems like love.
Thank you for bringing this condition to our attention
Good work Drew, I'm watching from South Africa 🇿🇦
amazing video Drew ❤
Wow a teardrop. This was a brilliant watch

This video had me on the brink of tears. They are such pure people who been trough so much. :-(
Hi five bro 👊 legendary vlog and perfect kindness ❤ x respect x JP
Oh wow, ❤❤❤I'm from Namibia sending love to them.
Syndactyly is a dominant trait, which means that if one parent carries the genetic code for it, their babies are much more likely to be born with it.
That's unfortunate.

Thank you for sharing your story.
I'm so happy you sent money for that boy to get a bicycle! 🚲💙You're so honourable and kind, Drew. You've made his life so much easier. God bless that whole tribe. I hope they can find a way to rise above their trauma and pain from the cruel forced displacement. 💗
Thank you drew.

I'm really hoping for that surprise Gift 🎉😊 😊
This video about this tribe needs to be featured somewhere like National Geographic. What an incredible story, Drew!💯👏🏽
Thank you so much!
Wow always good to see a new upload thanks for sharing with us always I appreciate much, I always learn something new, and yes money gram is great, now can you surprise me 😂😂😂 be blessed man.
Tq for giving back to the society whilst you are filming at their place.
Drew... we live in the same area... I love your videos. Please be safe... And dont stop.
DREW YOU HAVE AWESOME CONTENT👍🏿🤙🏿
I just love Drew’s life. I wish I can do what he does.
Great video bro, really out there.
Great videos, showings this 4nimals in the wild..
everytime i watch something about the african continent it just blows my mind how incredibly diverse this continent is and how much there is to learn😵 great video🔥🇿🇼 (btw the flag of zimbabwe ist the coolest on 🌎)
100% agree!!
From a half-Zimbabwean half South African, thanks!
As someone who was trained to work in physical therapy. It is very important to think about what you are saying. Saying "normal" toes vs theirs with two, when you were repeatedly corrected as it being a "gift" and that they are "special", you should have picked up on that and at least used the term "different" or "special". We were trained to say "new knees" "new hips" ect and didn't shy away from saying "stumps" when talking with patients who had amputations.
I do admire that you visited and brought a bounty to share with the people. Bringing light to this tribe and smiles to their faces. All of us, no matter our differences are fearfully and wonderfully made by our creator. May God bless you and yours on your journeys, sharing other people, cultures and lands with your viewers. I'm always amazed and look forward to your content and experiences.
As a Zimbabwean, I was surprised to learn about this tribe from this documentary. It's important for people to be aware of these lesser-known groups and ensure their history is preserved. Even though I lived in Zimbabwe most of my life, I never heard of them before. This is a great reminder that there's always more to learn about our own cultures. On behalf of Zimbabwe thank you Drew!!!...
That was enlightening
That wasn’t a leopard tortoise. That was a Hingeback tortoise
Thanks for clarifying
Thank you for sharing
No way at 4:50 the kids playing with stones was/is also played in my area of Kashmir in Pakistan and adjacent areas including Indian held Kashmir. We call it Panjgeet. Surprisingly humans find ways to be similar despite having almost no connections for millenia
