The Mundari cattle camps are established in areas near the banks of the Nile River. The life of the Mundari takes place among their livestock. Their Ankole-Watusi cows are sacred, characterized by their enormous antlers, representing their social position and dowry for marriage. Every morning they are released to go graze, that is when the children and young people clean the camp, gather the manure and light the bonfires. At dusk, the cows return to the camp through the fog, dust and smoke from the bonfires where the manure is burned. They take care of them with ash massages to protect them from insect bites, they mold their horns to give them different shapes, they feed on their milk and blood, they wash themselves with their urine and they get the orange tone of their hair. The scarification on the forehead of the Mundari is performed during the initiation ritual. Using knives, five successive V-shaped marks are made, as a reference to the horns of the cows.
