Welcome to the captivating realm of the OMO VALLEY, a destination that is full of culture and stunning landscapes in Southwestern Ethiopia. The prehistoric valley is known to be the birthplace of humanity (literally where the first humans originated from), and today, it remains a place where 8 indigenous communities are thriving.
I came back to the Omo Valley (for the first time in 6 years) and I am telling you the amazing story of these extreme tribes, who have some of the most painful rituals known to man such as lip piercing and bull jumping!
What do you think about the Omo Valley? Would you ever come here?

We're so appreciative of you grinding out these spectacular videos as well! This kind of video reminds me of fearless and far channel. We're you inspired by him? Any plans on doing more videos on remote places like this?
Thank You Drew for all your work. It is so informative and fun to watch your videos. GOD bless you and your loved ones, and everyone who sees this comment and their loved ones.
you spent $1200 but only 1.2k view sorry bro
1200 views in 20 minutes is pretty crazy
This is some of the best content being produced today. You are an inspiration to many of us that would love to travel the world and do the same!
I'm ethiopian and i love the way you treated the people in my home country!! I have seen alot of youtubers go to ethiopia and they just record the movie but you at least give soemthing back to them!! Way to to go!!
The more we see how different others live their life, the more we appreciate ours ...I love when you mentioned your gratitude for the life Drew
This is accurate getting to experience other parts of the world it always makes me realize how much I miss my home after it’s all said I’m done. It wasn’t always this way and I know my home has issues of course but for me it is the way I like to live
We all love the way we live, someone will see LGBTQZW.. and Pedophiles fighting for rights and they would run for their lives and be grateful for what they have. We're all happy in our zones.
You think yiu are happier? This is the thinking of white who think himself better. When the electricity will be of, you will be happy to leave with them. 😅
really I was thinking about leaving my stuff and begging them to let me join 😂. It seems like these people are free to be themselves and express themselves fully . What a beautiful rich culture ❤
That's sounds a bit negative. All them ppl looked and seems happy. If anything thise ppl are free. And us in the west are slaves to the system. I would love to be able to live like this. This is the real meaning of being free.
That little toddler at 12:15 WAS SOOOO CUTE! He had such giant adorable eyes and a cute lil smile. omfg hes just precious
Africa is a continent that has a lot to offer, from amazing safaris to awesome landscapes, the worst things are the rulers and how many people live in poverty… Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽 Drew
This is true - thanks for the comment
@@ElatenlWhen France has a 60% in all this francophone countries in Africa’s constitution, so it’s safe to say their rulers are from France or we can say Macron rules all this 29 francophone countries in Africa..
👉🏽🐢🐢🐢
@@drewbinskySo from when diana start to join you from doing the trip to africa she was more reserve but now i can see shes more into than before so i like it so keep it up cause it will make the video more fun ❤❤
This is the image you tend to have when all you get to see about Africa is such content, you never get to see the modern side of Africa in Drew's videos, that's something he needs to improve on, he has gained quite a reputation for presenting Africa in such light.
It's deeper than you think ! You don't know how many billion are spent by white to keep Africa in poverty . If you try to do the right thing as s politiacian you risk death and many have been murdered. It's deeper than you think !
Very well filmed and respectful yet interactive. Bravo to the enthusiastic Deeana
It’s so crazy to think how the world has so many different cultures. I’m really happy to be able to watch so many cool things because of channels like yours, Drew. Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷💜
i agree! Obrigado!
@@drewbinsky De nada 💜
Nothing is left intact the tribes are becoming a tourist attraction shame on you the tribes that didn't kick you out will regret it one day and cry
A lot to offer for who? This is literally humiliat.😣some ppl who leave these comments are so delusional
You really think it’s “so cool” for those Afric.women to have to go through these horrible bodily tort and being sold?? WTH
This was a fascinating video. You are so lucky to be able to have these experiences first-hand. And, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to enjoy the experiences I would otherwise never see or, even know existed. Good job!
The Omo Valley people are SO BEAUTIFUL in every way. Thank you for sharing your experience Drew, these videos are invaluable to remind us that we are all the same humans with stunning diversity ♥️
Stop lying! They are hideous!
Bro I love how you respect other people and cultures.with that we can all be happy together in this beautiful world
Drew you are THE MAN. Travel is the best expansion of the mind. I will keep you in my prayers.stay safe.
I just want you tell you Drew, I grew up reading National Geographic in the 90s and I had hundreds of them. Watching you takes me back and helps ease that crazy wanderlust that I’ve always had. THANK YOU!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️🖤🖤
Wow Drew!
Amazing! I love watching the different places you visit with such a variety of people and their culture. These people are amazing.
wow Ethiopia Thank you for documenting this and sharing it.
Thank you for highlighting ethical tourism and making sure youre not taking advantage of these people and giving them something to live off of! ❤ thats the right way to explore the world, and as a public health scientist whos seen our kind mess this up SO many times - im grateful you exist!❤
Wow! You were very generous with the tipping. And the amount you paid for things!
Such beautiful people. Your wife is such lovely, genuine person, and wonderful travel companion. Great job, you two!!! Stupendous work and perspective showing us a small glipse at the Omo Valley Culture, People and Landscape...What amazing People they are Cant wait to see it with my own eyes one day! Much love from Northcoast Cali to you Drew and your Team!!! More wonderful videos like this, please!!! ❤
appreciate the content u bring man helps a lot of people understand some parts of the world
Be careful with the tour guide in this video. He harrassed a female traveller and hit her. Avoid this tour guide
Time stamp I didn't see it
ruclips.net/video/WH7L2NNzd-s/видео.htmlsi=JLQ-fexs9fd4EO3V
Are you sure😊
How could you and all the people who liked this comment know that?
Women should never travel alone in these regions. Kinda dumb of her 😮
Every video you add a new place to go on my bucket list. Thanks.
Hi Drew! From the Philippines here. I really love the contents you make. Ever since 2019 I have supported and watched all your videos from Europe to Africa to Latin America to Asia. Keep up the good work!
I worked as a road project engineer in Omo Valley for about 4 years. I have lived with Mursi and Bodi Tribe. Even though we are citizens of the same country, I am fascinated by the landscape and the way of life of the people.
at 9:10 the ancient Egyptians used those as pillows/ headrests for sleeping. Thousands of years later Africans are still using it. That was amazing to see in 2023
I love the way you embrace all the cultures and traditions. Keep it up🎉 Make for us a documentary about the Khoisan in Africa
Thanks for your your outstanding work to bring this up on the platform.🙏🏽
12:14 That little kid saying hi to the camera is so adorable 😭😭
Thank you for going to these places so I don't have to. You always bring interesting content from around the world that most of us wouldn't even know existed.
Drew! Omgsh! I just discovered ur channel yesterday. I am in awe of ur courage, ur talent and ur passion to do this work of tapping into our worldly brothers and sisters. Thank u for being u. Truly inspiring.
As someone who grew up with a strong interest in body modification from around the world, thank you for showcasing these people and their traditions. I love Mursi culture and hope to visit their tribe one day.
THanks for your comment!
What's the purpose?
Omo valley awesome place. I am also from Ethiopia thanks for showing the culture, people and places of Ethiopia.
You’re killing it with the African content!!
Keep it up 🥲🫶🏾
Thank you!!
@@drewbinsky the property is due for the rape of Africa Europe
I love watchn how tribes live
This is not Ethiopia
Humanity is as diverse as it gets when it comes to Cultures & Lifestyles. The World is full of this Diversity, and that's what makes Humanity beautiful. Despite Life being hard, mysterious, and even confusing at times for all of us, we all find a way to get together, work together, support one another, and build a beautiful Economy, Culture, and Lifestyle.
This is the beauty of Humanity and the Diversity Worldwide. I can only imagine how many Cultures have been lost and forgotten about to the sands of time.
These type of cultures are not about humanity it's all about pleasing men it's a tradition for them to not hide their breasts and that was what their ancestors wanted and they harm the womens by cutting their lips and whips them in the name of "culture" im not disrespecting them but this is the trurh
I have seen some tribes i don't remember the video name but it was on RUclips young children were gathered in a hut and the chief and the other men would make the kids suck out their sp3!rm in order to become a man and that's a mirror to how their ancestors behaved and had a pleasure for these type of stuff
wow, I really love how you can show us this kind of incredible place and people, thanks for that
My Pleasure! Thanks for supporting😀
Thank you for being there and showing this rich culture 🙏.
Another new Drew video! Love your content! It’s always great watching these!
Thanks for watching!!
I have born and grew up in village and start going around Africa continenta so when I watch these videos no surprise at all I love Africa there's so much to learn out about different cultures keep on doing great job
Thank you for your consistency! I'm a stay at home Mom now after working my whole life, so now I live through watching your videos!
Thank you for your refreshing honesty describing the good and the bad. It is somewhat distressing to see that it doesn’t matter where you are in the world there’s always addictions
Just found your channel! Love it! Thanks for showing us fascinating people and places most of us will never get a chance to experience. From Alabama. Roll Tide!
Thanks Drew for your videos I really learn a lot about the different cultures
We appreciate Drew for dedication and commitment. He deserves all the recognition.
thank you!
@@drewbinsky hope his ass don't bring his European diseases to the remote tribe
You're the man Drew 🔥 I'm not sure how you set yourself up to travel and do what you do, but either way its inspiring, educating, and entertaining to watch your content.
i'm extremely grateful for the content you produce. It's absolutely beautiful and makes me realize even more how blessed we are. ALSO, you and wifey are just the cutest
You did a great job filming this!
those poor girls forced to do that at 15....I get it's their culture but it is honestly kinda messed up to force a 15 year old girl to mutilate her own body because "it is tradition."
Karen 🤓
@@Yoteddy47 commenting “Karen 🤓” is one of the most Karen moves I’ve ever seen
Yeah it's messed up
That isn’t culture lol
@@Yoteddy47trameka
Thank you Drew and Team for showing us the uniqueness and treasures of the world!! It's truly so valuable what you're doing, please keep it up 🙌
Let’s be real the stretching of the lip is child abuse at its best you should not sugarcoat it. The little girls father is incentivized to torture his poor little helpless daughter as much as possible to get more cattle which is their $. Terrible my heart goes out for these poor little girls.
.
Thank you. So many people just see the outside and think it looks cool. They don't think about how painful this is.
💯😢
Right? I'm sick of these practices being forgiven in the name of so-called 'culture'. This practice seems inhumane, they're indoctrinating these women into thinking they need to do this to get a husband.
Bruh, no.@@sarah92-m7h
Hi Drew! It has been a band new video with a brand new story to share. Thank you so much for making this for us viewers. I totally enjoyed it. Looking for more videos to come. Be safe always with your wife.
thanks!
From the USA, Africa is a beautiful continent , So many tribes, I love the culture, Africa is the origin of man kind 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks for you For giving away such a wonderful video! 🇧🇩🇧🇩
I just love seeing how other cultures live...Thank you for sharing,,,sending love to all beautiful souls
love the clips you've captured here! they seem like such wonderful people and we're glad you managed to document this.
Your videos are so cool to show the world how people live and the cultures the live in
💛💛💛 Thank you Drew! I loved visiting the beautiful people of Ethiopia through your lens! May they never loose their culture, rituals and land to live on. They are precious and lovely!
appreciat eyou!
This video is not Ethiopia
@@theassassin9326technically its at southeast ethiopia
It's so great to see you visiting the Mursi tribe! We visited them in 2016 and had very limited access, accompanied by our guide and AK-47 equipped security man. We were only able to take a few photos because they were charging 5 Birr for each one - looks like their prices have gone up :-) 'm happy you had such unfettered access and a much bigger budget! Keep the amazing content coming. The Omo Valley tribes are incredible! The lip plate one of the Mursi women gave us is one of our favorite souvenirs!
It takes a lot of time and effort to produce this video and I a grateful that u sharing your experiences with us .
Thank you.
Lots of love from The Gambia, West Africa.
I’m an African from South Africa, it’s a marvel to learn about other African countries and their cultures. I noticed there are similarities here and there in cultures though! Thank you for the great insight
I'm from Swaziland and think this is just so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽
I watch almost all your videos, but this one tops the list! Wow! Great content, absolutely love seeing the progress and the extremes you go to, to deliver content to us! Inspiring!
Thank you so much!
Amazing Drew never disappoints♥️♥️Love uu greeting from Arizona
I am Ethiopian and i love your content and i want to say welcome to Ethiopia bro🎉and did i mentioned I'm long term subscriber😊❤
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
God bless you and protect everyone
What an incredible story. Thank you for documenting this and sharing it. The first step in world peace is an understanding of each other.
You're in Ethiopia🇪🇹 you can't go back without a feel of Coffee ☕️
Love from Ghana 🇬🇭
Fascinating! Thank you Drew & Crew! 🍊🍊🍊
I appreciate you!
Fascinating how women’s faces have to undergo all this tort.and being sold as one out of many wives?🥴this is real life not a fascinating movie
Thank you. I love your videos. They are filled with great passion and love for all cultures! The child at the end has blue eyes. I have never seen blue eyes that color.
They look like my people (Kalenjin and the Nilotes of Kenya), except for the mouth piercing. Seeing them when I am far from home really makes me homesick. Thank you for this
This one was intense!! Very cool that you got right in the middle of the bull jumping ceremony. It’s always so awesome to be pulled into someone else’s lifestyle for 20 minutes.
My beautiful Ethiopia. One thing that makes me more proud is the diversity of people, culture and history😍😍😍😍
That is NOT beautiful 🤦♂️
@@TheSandBox336beauty is in the eye of the beholder May not be beautiful to you, but it is to her & to me
@@TheSandBox336 fr man its fkng weird
being Ethiopian is blessed dear. we are blessed thanks to GOD
This is how most African Americans would be living if it weren't for African tribal war lords conquering and selling them to Europeans.
After the colonial era. The fact a European man can be accepted so widely and treated with respect and love is testament to my peoples beautiful souls. When we go to their land sadly the feeling is not mutual. Shouldn’t we be the ones with hate in hearts? Given the robbery of our land and children’s future. The thing is we don’t know how to.. Love is all we know. The majority of Africa’s 1.5 billion population is filled with kind and humble souls. Having the little we do and being happier then 80% of the western world.
Love your videos so much Drew!!! You're an amazing human
Thanks!
Always a great day when Drew uploads 😁
Thank you! I am so grateful for you!
Only just started watching but it doesn't matter who or where you are in the world today but music, singing and dancing are the same. It lifts people's spirits and moods, brings smiles and love for each other of course it can also create sad feelings amongst each other.
yep!
This video is amazing! These people seem so happy, welcoming and non-judgmental! If they came to visit here I wonder if they would get the same welcoming, happy, positive non-judgmental energy? (What I am asking myself in the mirror)
No, they would be insulted and laughed at for not having white/Christian culture, unfortunately.
oh my God...Fantastic work @drew Binsky...Thank you soo much for this wonderful video
Short, sweet and informative. You’re far better than discovery or Nat Geo! Love you Drew! ❤️
i wouldnt say sweet lmao
Read your opening comment. Thank you for you and your team to even be able to document your travels. What stunned me the most was that they use tires to make shoes. Can you imagine all the discarded tires here in the USA? How many shoes that could be made for all cultures in the world? These tribes that you visit are so resourceful. I love that. That was amazing video. Thanks again.
🍊🍊🍊Thank you Drew for allowing to visit the world 🌍 with you
Amazing place thanks for sharing us, greeting from Cambodia 🇰🇭
@Drew where is your warning about the tour guide???. I saw you promised to post a warning about him undervthe harrasssed female traveler video as a comment.
Wow!!! Drew this is breathtaking. That boy saying Hello Hello Hello really got me. Well done 😍😍
Great video Drew. Nuff luv from 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
GO AWAY YOU AINT AFRICAN WHEN JAMAICANS DONT EVEN LIKE AFRICANS GO AWAY!!!
I come home from school and watch your video's all the time! they are just so interesting and cool. Keep up the good work Drew!!
Greetings from Australia!!!
That is such a beautiful way to live. Just love for your country. Their culture just beautiful
Lovely tribe! I like how all the traditions are without modern tools and technology.
Love these videos. It shows how these different cultures live, but no thank you. Glad I wasn't born into these tribes. Thanks Drew.
I just left Omo Valley and experienced the tribes. I also got to witness the bull jumping ceremony. Love these parts of the world 🇪🇹 I also had the same local guide at the market, small world. I spent a lot of money tipping locals.
@ilovejewelyn... I am glad you had a great time. I am SURE though you did NOT spend that much money 😒 🙄 money " tipping locals, " for the EMOTIONAL PRICE you GAINED from exploring these beautiful ancient places and getting the Tribal people to spend TIME and love ❤with you and introduce you to their culture ❤️.
● Let's NOT be Westernize by even mentioning " I spent a lot of money tipping the locals. " ... This goes for the VIDEO 📹 and YOU TUBER TOO... please STOP... YOU MAKE MILLIONS $$$ of dollars 💸 💵 💲 🤑 💰 on you tube FROM intruding/ visiting OTHER poor people 's culture .
● I have been to Ethiopia FIVE TIMES... and NEVER TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH I TIPPED THE LOCALS ...
■ Very EUROCENTRIX ideology of self righteousness... ONE BIRR... us NOT even the equivalent of 25 US. CENT .
■ The experiences these locals provide to tourists... CANNOT be BOUGHT OR SOLD...
* It Is ONLY so " Authentic " in Ethiopia 🇪🇹 because they have NEVER BEEN COLONIZED.... and fought colonialism... because of this SAME ●NEGATIVE MENTALITY ● thinking 🤔 🙄
Fantastic !
So cool for you and your film crew!
Thanks, you two!
What an incredible story. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Lot’s of love from Switzerland ❤❤❤❤
I'm African myself (Kenyan) but some of those so-called cultural practices are downright archaic and barbaric like that lip-stretching or whatever it is.
There is nothing worse barbaric than the Rwanda, Darfur, Ethiopia genocide and many other parts of Africa that happened millions of innocent civilians killed.
i feel really bad for the girls, well the ones that do not wish to participate in that
@@nai1729Was a poll taken to determine which & how many girls didn't want to participate?
I understand your concerns about their cultural norms in the 21st century. We have those same concerns here in the "great & mighty USA".🙄 Here, instead of whips, they outlawed that practice after the period of forced & free labor known as "slavery", now the former slave owners have resorted to guns, to shoot & kill at will. The "practices" are still the same: control and/or kill.🙄
@@sash4540 is bro stupid?
WOW - im truly lost for words. Really appreciate you bringing this fascinating culture to my eyes !! 💜👏🏽
The Omo Valley looks beautiful! Those tribes are amazing and it's cool that they have kept their traditions for so long, it's just a shame that mutilation is involved. We (all of your viewers) are very grateful for you, your wife and your crew! Thank you so much for showing us cultures that we would never know about if it weren't for you.
Thank you so much!
I’m proud 🥲 to be from South Sudan 🇸🇸 thank you 🙏🏿 for showing us Africans culture
Drew said, It's really cool that they keep the lip plate tradition, I'm sorry to say this but it's not appealing that they keep the lip plate, as it looks unattractive and unhygienic.
Except they’re not wearing it for people outside of their tribe, it’s THEIR culture why would they care if you don’t like it
OMG i have been waiting for a new video, i am so excited
Crazy❤❤ Thanks Drew!! Loving the content
this is honestly really interesting to watch especially for someone who isnt that much educated on the topics of african tribes, nice video!
Great African culture experience. As an African myself am deeply touch to see you all the way to those remote places to give us the contents that we only once heard of. Good Job
Dude stop, if you were actually from a country in Africa you wouldn’t have called yourself African, what country are you from?
I love the singing. It must be amazing to be there.
hi mr.drew u wrote 4 weeks ago to turkish vlogger Ben ve Dünya about to BIG THIEF ur guide KALI.
You said you would write a message on his page and warn people about Kali. You haven't done that yet?
