Nestled in the remote and arid lands of the Lower Omo Valley in Ethiopia, is a captivating Mursi tribe, an ethnic group with a distinctive way of life, and very renowned for their unique customs and striking appearance.

You can join us on one of our ultimate journeys to the Omo Valley in Ethiopia and get to explore the fascinating world of the Mursi tribe, from their rich cultural heritage to the challenges they face in the modern world. Intricate body scarring and decoration, stick fighting, lip plates, and ancient rituals are all part of the Mursi tribe's culture. They are one of the most visited African tribes.

The Mursi tribe, of which there are less than 10,000, is well known for the large plates the women wear in their lower lip. The custom of wearing a lip plate is linked to the female's fertility and eligibility for marriage.

The lip plate carries several meanings. Firstly, it's a symbol of great beauty. Secondly, it marks a commitment to the husband because it is worn with great pride when serving him food. If the husband dies, the lip plate is removed since a woman's external beauty is said to fade after his death.

When a young Mursi girl reaches the age of 15 or 16, her lower lip is pierced so she can wear a lip plate. The larger the lip plate she can tolerate, the more cattle her bride price will bring for her father. The unique “ornament” of the face which they use, is unusual, even for wild people. The matter is that the lower lip of this tribe’s girls is cut at an early age. They begin to put into the lip the billets of wood, every time with a bigger and bigger diameter.

Surrounded by mountains between the Omo River and its tributary the Mago, the home of the Mursi is one of the most isolated regions of the country. Due to the climate, they move twice a year between the winter and summer months. They herd cattle and grow crops along the banks of the Omo River.

According To Bouncer, The Award For Best Comedian Of The Year Was Given To Unqualified Candidate.

"I suspect I was given sleeping tablets. How can I oversleep just on a chair at Pece Stadium yet I can make both Ojur Kwon and crowds laugh for an hour nonstop?"

"I'm demanding for battle on the same stage with Ojur Kwon."
