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.
❤
@@kingcosworth2643 he is talking about a couple of European invaders and murderers who were there around 40yrs ago
@snuscaboose1942 Mr born in 1942, please grow up. Any day now would be good. No one wanted to live in Rhodesia except white people. Thanks.
I think his driver just scammed him out of $125. LOL
I was thinking the official inside wanted $25 for permit, and $50 to write it up. So driver smiles and says ok and relays the $125 total to the rich Americans.
Everyone happy. 😁
@@A-Milkdromeda-Laniakea-Hominid My thoughts exactly. These people are just doing what they need to do, on behalf of their families. In the U.S., $125 might feed a single person for maybe 2-3 days (if you're frugal). However, in places like Zimbabwe, a local could potentially feed their family for at least a week. As westerners, who come from wealthy countries, we often take for granted how much of a privilege it is to be able to afford to travel, in the first place.
@@MattipedersenDid you literally just say $125 might feed a person for a few days? Are you insane? $125 could last 14 days easy
@@syeddaahmed7460 14 days on a buck and a quarter would be mighty bland eating. Let's say a week so we can have milk and meat. But their overall point stands- we're very lucky to live in the west where we get a fully prepared chicken for $6 usd (chock full of pesticides and hormones but hey, we didn't even have to catch it.) Or a beef steak for $15 and we don't have to use the whole animal before it rots. Every kind of fruit under the sun just sitting there in piles in the produce section.
Food security is a wonderful thing.
😂 yeah & the way the guy said it whispering like he was lying 😂
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.
Does he also have blue fur and a tail?
@@YujiUedaFan He's yellow with 2 tails
@@Tequliah So not Nightcrawler?
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.
Normal people have five toes on each foot. Normal people do not comply with demands or twist reality for snowflakes feelings.
@@FirstLast-ye8nf I like being abbynormal then. I also like the idea of being a snowflake as each is unique in their own way. They may look at first as if they are just a white flake from the sky. But on further inspection, much closer, so amazingly beautiful gifts from the sky. So thank you for your comment. I take it as a compliment.
You are right!
No lol
Thank you for this comment, because I was thinking the very same thing, regardless of what some of the commenters here may believe. I also think it’s important to be conscious of making such statements as: *”I was starving after a 6 hour drive”,* when there are very likely people in the region who are *actually* starving.
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.
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
Gotta respect the hustle.
Look at the receipt when Drew holds it up, it says $110 total lmao
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.
@@DarkCypher3301 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.
She said, "In Africa, before we eat, we clap our hands." I'm sorry, but Africa is diverse and vast. It's not just your local village. There are numerous peoples, religions, tribes, and ethnicities, and they don't all follow the same customs before eating.
Are you African?
Are you African?
We need to be grateful for the life we live. There's people out there who have it a lot tougher than us.
you should never buy out ALL the supplies from one store to give to one community, the other small community ends up with nothing.
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!

Drew's genuine respect for the Vadoma tribe in Zimbabwe is truly heartwarming.🙌
I'm Tanzanian, I follow very closely all events in Africa, I've never heard of a conflict between Zambia and Zimbabwe
True. Zambians and Zimbabweans are the same people and share a lot of history.
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.❤
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 🇹🇹🇿🇼

Thank you for sharing your travelling experiences with us.
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
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.
I was introduced to this tribe on Fearless & Far’s channel! So nice seeing them again over here. Keep doing a great job Drew!! ☺️☺️
We almost went there at the same time , randomly! His video is great!
Yeah, Drew and Mike both adventurous youtuber. Drew can surely join the fighter boys adventure in the philippines nextime. 😅
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!
What a beautiful group of people. They deserve our love and care and from those nearest to them also.
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
So you agreeing that they lie rip you off? Strange values you have
@@lalarebelse5985some people allow a little hustle as they see the bigger picture. And they also know how to let go and enjoy life
What a beautiful tribe and a beautiful video. Thank you for bringing awareness and highlighting to the Vadoma people.
So glad you bought the bike! Great video. Love from Australia. ❤
Awesome content as always.
Another Awesome Adventure Thank You Drew🙂❤👍Watching from NB Canada🙂
Great video Drew. I’ve been to Zambia and Zimbabwe and I have to say the places, and the people can never be forgotten. Good job sharing.
Love your videos man!
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
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
Thank you for brining them a dose of happiness.
So happy he got the bike ❤😊
Drew I she’s been watching you forever man your videos are always crazy stay safe man ❤
Obviously, they have small genetic pool. All being related to the first member with the genetic mutation.

Crazy video, Drew! Thanks for keeping me updated of places everywhere!
Of course !
@@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
Drew my brother you never cease to amaze me ❤. 😉🤟
I’m sitting here with tears plopping down. Drew has the ability to greet people without the slightest condescension. Okay, now the bike….my heart is uplifted!
Amazing job to project their voice to the world through your platform, well done
❤❤❤❤much love brother drew have blessed weekend the 🐐
I applaud the author of this content, and I hope that African leaders will take it to heart and change their corrupt ways and start caring about their people.
I love your videos Drew! Me and my son who also wants to visit every country like you will be at your LA book signing! Your stories are always so inspiring and in depth and you always find the most interesting things to talk about. ❤

Great adventure! Thanks for sharing!
Just found your channel… I love learning about different cultures and really enjoyed this video
I love all your videos, Drew.
Can’t believe you got your lady tagging along now - you guys be safe!
Never let a guide go in alone. He took majority of that $125 🤦🏾♀️
100%
that is a clever, simple solution.
Look at the receipt, he only kept $15 🤣
I was wondering the same thing...
3:55 now that you bought the shop out the people that walked several hrs one way did it for nothing and then they dont have what they need
I'm glad I'm not the only person who thought about that situation!
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.
You two are so awesome together. Very happy for you Drew. You found a gem in your wife. Wish you and your family the best!
There has never been a conflict between Zambia and Zim, theres nothing to fight over, and everything shared
so weird, where did you get that info
It seems to be the line that his driver used to get the $125 from him.
“How is life with two toes?” My guy never knew life with 5 🤦🏾♀️
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
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!!!...
thank you for showing the beauties of Africa!
Wow! So beautiful! They're all so intelligent
This is a birth defect. Not a beauty that should be celebrated
That wasn’t a leopard tortoise. That was a Hingeback tortoise
Thanks for clarifying
Drew we love you so much for making these amazing videos around beautiful people of different cultures. Your parents raised you well and must be so proud of you as we're as well. We wish you and your family the best. Much love from Seattle Washington 💚
Drew thanks for excellent content, I live in South Africa and have never heard of the Vadoma people.
Love ur videos I’m a huge fan
thanks!
There has never been a conflict between Zambia and Zimbabwe. We have always been besties.
Hi five bro 👊 legendary vlog and perfect kindness ❤ x respect x JP
Awesome .. thank you for reaching this places and sharing this stories and experiences.
Hi Drew, I enjoy a lot of your stuff. I am just wondering if your I “I found” an “I discovered” kind of story? These people are not a “secret tribe”. They are Zimbabweans, just like me. Every human being has secrets. If they’re a secret tribe as you claim, how and why did you publicize them?
Zimbabwe has the best wildlife in africa. Its amazing you visited it
amazing video Drew ❤
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.
SCAMMED $125 FOR A $10 Dollar PERMIT 😂
That’s what I also thought about cause he told him to stay in the car instead of going in with him 🤷♂️

Nice work and video. I'm glad you kept your promise about the bike. That act of kindness will never be forgotten by him and the tribe.
Permit cost $10... "Give me $125!" lol
But, the guide will take care of his cash cow.

3 minutes in, I see this with the 125$ and I'm "this guy got played so hard" I'm 95% sure it's a scam, and if not, then this is 100% corruption, and you filmed it!

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.

Zimbabwe needs a president who cares about all the people, especially the tribe in this video and other tribes. Robert Mugabe didn't seem to care about them, and neither did the guy who succeeded him.
And neither did the Rhodesians
Good observation. African leaders only want to line their pockets.
They stand on business with 4 toes 😎
