Added: 2026-05-12

[00:00:00]This is Wakar and he's about as far out of his comfort zone as possible because he's about to be the first Pakistani to ever enter this real Masai home. But how do we get here? Quick 30 second recap.

[00:00:10]One week earlier, Stefan metwakar, who's currently working as a Karim driver in Dubai and has never been anywhere else besides Pakistan or the UAE, but has always dreamed of seeing lions. So, we decided to make that happen. We booked him a flight straight to Kenya and despite having everything working against us at the border, >> run away.

[00:00:25]>> They think I am running away from my country.

[00:00:28]>> Stan got him through. After a flight, a rest, another smaller flight, and a drive, we ended up in the Masai in one of the most beautiful resorts to go on safari. And the next day, Wakar's dream came true.

[00:00:38]>> We made it. How far we are?

[00:00:44]>> But as we were in the Masai Mara, we met a local Masai named Patrick who works as a walking tour guide. And after having dinner with him and hearing about his life, for the first time ever, he offered to have us join him to his home that he and his family still live in. So the next morning, we decided to surprise Wakar with the news that we'd be visiting a real Masai home.

[00:01:01]>> Patrick, >> yes.

[00:01:02]>> We asked you a question and you said yes.

[00:01:05]>> But uh we haven't told Vakar actually.

[00:01:07]>> Tommy, do you want to tell Vakar what's what's happening now?

[00:01:09]>> What's going to happen right now?

[00:01:11]>> We're just going for a walking safari.

[00:01:13]>> That's what you think. But on top of that, Patrick has graciously invited us to see the Masai where he lives, where his parents are. Get an in-depth look into how they live.

[00:01:22]>> Yeah, we should go. Maybe try >> we should go >> maybe try some some food.

[00:01:28]>> I like Pakistani food but I try.

[00:01:32]>> Actually we don't have the Pakistan food. What we have >> what?

[00:01:37]>> So I think we just go and visit without eating anything.

[00:01:42]>> Let's go.

[00:01:43]>> Friendly walk.

[00:01:44]>> It's a friendly walk with a big gun.

[00:01:45]>> Yeah, it's a friendly walk unless lions come a little too close in which case we send my car out, you know, as a distraction. If client come in front of us, I will go in front of her.

[00:01:55]>> Oh, you said that?

[00:01:56]>> Yeah.

[00:01:56]>> Oh, perfect.

[00:01:57]>> That's so kind >> hero. We don't deserve what we need.

[00:02:00]Exactly.

[00:02:02]>> Beautiful flowers we have. It's called black eye susan. Sometime you found people chewing.

[00:02:08]>> Why do they chew it?

[00:02:08]>> They chew just fleshia.

[00:02:11]>> Do I get the kick of it?

[00:02:13]>> You want to test?

[00:02:14]>> Do I get a kick? No, >> don't test.

[00:02:18]>> Just ignore him. A plant like this one is very much special. The massage people use as natural deodorant and then they rub their bodies using.

[00:02:27]>> So you like take this off.

[00:02:29]>> Yeah.

[00:02:30]>> Wow.

[00:02:31]>> It's going.

[00:02:32]>> So they have that for lipstick and doing it as well.

[00:02:35]>> Yes.

[00:02:37]>> Oh, look at that Pakistani cutie.

[00:02:39]>> Which animal is this?

[00:02:41]>> Antelope.

[00:02:42]>> This not antelope. This is the zebra.

[00:02:43]You get it back.

[00:02:45]>> Did you got it?

[00:02:46]>> Yeah. Hey, >> Zeva track going that way.

[00:02:52]>> 2 hours old >> hour and a half like that.

[00:03:01]>> Three species here. Dick dick, the smallest antelope we have around. This a buffalo and we have hyena.

[00:03:07]>> How long time ago do you think these animals were here?

[00:03:10]>> It's today maybe at six or almost seven because they're still fresh.

[00:03:17]Maybe at 6 7 a.m. they were here taking my wife.

[00:03:24]>> I got to do that joke so many time.

[00:03:35]>> Oh no.

[00:03:38]>> Oh wow. We're standing next to this is the first time we're doing that.

[00:03:42]>> He's looking right at us. I think I think he's smelled Swedish meatballs >> and for the zebras is a common zebras.

[00:03:53]They're quite friendly. 2 years ago there was a group of lion just chip in to the property and actually they kill more than 14 zebras.

[00:04:01]>> Nice. So the nervous laughter over here.

[00:04:07]>> What's the worst that could happen?

[00:04:10]Yeah.

[00:04:24]Suddenly, you know where the security guy used to.

[00:04:26]>> All right. So, here we are very much lucky. There is a special bat called Narina Trogan. It's not rarely to be seen. It's the most beautiful bat we have around here.

[00:04:37]>> Oh, I got a bit nervous. I thought it was chicken.

[00:04:40]>> I think there's a line or like something like this.

[00:04:42]>> We just got like a horse. I'll show you the >> I will try to mimic the butt to come.

[00:04:48]Yeah, it's just a bird.

[00:04:53]You could have been stopped at I see coming up to Patrick's family's cows here. There's quite a lot of them. The cow means a lot.

[00:05:13]>> It means a lot actually. Special gift from God. We love it. It's something that every Messiah must have a cow.

[00:05:19]>> Mhm. Without cows no life that's how we we we put it >> cow is highest up in the >> yeah all the masai in Kenya they use cows in form of dowry whenever you you get married first of all you need to look for the cows that you send to where your wife is coming from like mine I take 10 cows to my father-in-law >> 10 10 cows yeah >> 10 cows >> you must have been happy then >> yeah very much happy actually that's why we have cows just to solve dispute whenever we got coral with Mhm. The elders come and sit down and say, "Patrick, you did wrong to Saiti. Um, the only thing Sai can do to forgive you is to give Saiti a cow. So, I can just give a small haver like this one." And now become my great friend.

[00:06:03]>> Yeah.

[00:06:03]>> If I give him a ha like this one, I call him Entu.

[00:06:06]>> Mhm.

[00:06:07]>> Entu is a very special name given to someone. You give him a cow.

[00:06:11]>> It's amazing that you guys are so close like that.

[00:06:14]>> Like it feels really genuine, pure.

[00:06:16]>> I was thinking about my high school bullies. We get inside the cows as we go home. So, let's start from there. Then we walk this way.

[00:06:26]>> Take the sound.

[00:06:33]>> So cute. Yeah, the small ones. So cute.

[00:06:36]All the cows so friendly here.

[00:06:38]>> Can like speak to them, whistle with them.

[00:06:40]The whistling sound is a special sound that every time I'm at home, I whisper that way and they recognize I'm the owner of these girls.

[00:06:55]the best on the ship.

[00:06:58]>> Yeah.

[00:07:05]>> Free man.

[00:07:13]>> We leave you alone for one minute and you just come back.

[00:07:17]So actually me allowing you to come up to my cows or my home is something special because we don't do that >> for because you are my agement. The first thing I ask you how old are you?

[00:07:29]>> Someone say 33 like me. So you're just my agement >> and our in my community agement means something. We pray for God to give us cows, give us children and for God to protect our age group.

[00:07:45]>> That's wonderful. So in that sense, everyone is included because everyone is praying >> for because we pray for the entire world. Beautiful.

[00:07:51]>> Yeah.

[00:07:51]>> Beautiful energy. Beautiful philosophy.

[00:07:53]>> Yeah.

[00:07:54]>> Let's go, baby. Let's go.

[00:07:56]>> You got us in here.

[00:07:58]>> Honestly, so so nice energy. Like it's >> for you every day.

[00:08:02]>> Yeah.

[00:08:03]>> He needs it. He needs it.

[00:08:04]>> What?

[00:08:06]>> Maybe it was so cute when you were carrying that sheep.

[00:08:09]>> I love the baby's sheep. You know, >> the small one. It's so cute. if if they allow me, I will like go again and pick us, you know.

[00:08:19]>> Yeah, that was very natural like we we were mid conversation.

[00:08:22]>> Okay, so before we get to Patrick's home and house and meet his family, a true traditional Masai family, we would like to thank the one that's making it possible for us to adventure deep in Kenya. Better help.

[00:08:33]>> As we traveled around the Masai Mara, I couldn't help but feel touched by the closeness as a community that the Masai were. And honestly, it reminded me a lot of the closeness that I feel for my family in my life. I'm actually filming this in my aunt's home, who I'm visiting right now. But for me, there was one key difference. You see, even though I have loving friends and family, one of the most irrational fears that I held on to for 15 years was that I would eventually end up alone in life. It was always a fear in the back of my mind, and it was something that was nagging at me, even when I was around those that I loved.

[00:09:00]So, I started seeing a therapist about it. And after a few sessions of actually voicing it out and expressing how this was feeling, she pointed out all the flaws in my logic to the point that I couldn't justify this fear anymore. And suddenly for me, it completely disappeared. Just voicing out this insecurity to a trained professional who's heard it before and knows how to deal with it got rid of this cloud that was hanging over my head for most of my life. Which is why BetterHelp's mission of making therapy readily available to everyone. Already serving 6 million people worldwide is great. It's entirely online.

[00:09:53]>> All right, we're rolling up to the village here.

[00:09:56]>> Come over here.

[00:09:57]>> Yeah.

[00:09:57]>> You excited?

[00:09:58]>> Yes.
