In the morning, you will drive through the vast terrain of Kaokoland to visit the semi-nomadic Himba people. The Himba is one of the last semi-nomadic tribes on Earth, and they continue to maintain their traditional and ancient way of life, as they did for hundreds of years. They are a community of nomadic pastoralists who inhabit the Kaokoland area of Namibia. The Himba have clung to their traditions, and the beautiful Himba women are noted for their intricate hairstyles and traditional jewelry.
Himba jewelry is made from iron or shell, and due to its intricate designs, it has become very popular among Western tourists. A visit to the Himba village creates a superb opportunity for spectacular ethnic photography! One of the world’s best and award-winning ethnic photos was taken at Himba villages in Namibia.
