5 Nomadic Tribes That Still Exist || Travel Video

5 Nomadic Tribes That Still Exist. 1. Tuareg. If you think of the worst place to live on Earth, it would probably be Sahara's desert. And yet, this is where the tribe of Tuaregs lives. Wandering around the biggest desert in the world since the 4th century AD, the Tuaregs know a thing or two about moving. They started to hustle their lives thousands of years ago, and the main source of their livelihood was trade, bringing goods from the southern part of the desert to the northern cities near the Mediterranean Sea. 2. Nenets. Nenets, also called Samoyeds, are the largest Russian nomad community, reliable on their main source of livelihood, reindeers. No matter how cute those four-legged animals would be, they are not only their loyal carriers and transport but also a supply for shelter, food, and clothing. Hanging out mostly in the northern Arctic part of Russia, Nenets do travel around. They spend their winters in the southern taiga and their summers in the north. 3. Kochi. Kochi people of Afghanistan also depend on animals. Though, these Middle Eastern nomads got sheep and goats to build up their life from. They raise animals and trade their meat, wool, and dairy for other important foods. Kochi people migrate from Afghanistan to Pakistan and are allowed to cross the border despite their political situation. 4. Bedouin. The Bedouin are the wanderers of the Middle Eastern deserts who happen to travel among several countries, such as Israel, Jordan, Israel, Iraq, Syria, and even North Africa. In the rainy winter season, they move to the desert, while in the summer, they come back to the cultivated land. The Arab-speaking nomads also herd their local animals that are mostly camels and goats. The urbanization in the region has a huge impact on nomads, a part of them has started their life in towns. Though, there are still lots of desert wanderers out there. You can even meet them and try out their style of living while in Jordan. 5. Sami people. The Sami people live in four of today's countries – Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. Their settlement now mostly is in the northern part of Scandinavia and Russia's Kola Peninsula. That includes Lapland in Finland, so if you're planning to visit Santa anytime soon, odds are you're going to meet the indigenous people, too. Like. Comment. Share and subscribe to my channel.
