The Scariest Tribes You DON'T WANT To Meet

The world is still dotted with some of the most dangerous tribes that are far away from all the modern developments. Some of these uncontacted people are believed to be cannibals whereas some are considered peaceful. Some are even contacted successfully by the governments of respective countries. But, crossing path with these isolated tribes may get you killed among other fatalities. So, even if you are eager to explore the jungles of Amazon or other deep forests, here are the tribes that you should stay away from.



1. Yaifo Tribe - The dangerous one


Yaifo Tribe in Papua New Guinea first came into contact with the modern world in 1988. Benedict Allen, the British writer who contacted the tribe, recounts the interesting tales of their terrifying dance that welcomed him. Yaifos usually maintain no contact with the outside world, and if you cross paths with them, you are likely to be greeted by arrows and bows.


2. Korowai Tribe - Cannibals in the past


Korowai is the tribe that used to practice cannibalism as a means of justice in the jungles of southeastern West Papua. Animal sacrifices are common amongst the Korowai and their life revolves around magic and spirits. Though they have welcomed the modern world contact in the last couple of decades, they are still one of the fierce tribes in the world.


3. Suri People - The warriors


Agonising rituals, dangerous stick fighting ceremonies, and painful lip plugs define the Suri tribe. Located in southwestern Ethiopia, Suri or Surama people still follow the ancient ways of life relentlessly. Though this tribe has allowed outsiders to steal a glimpse of their life, you will be sorry to meet them.
