Today in the morning, traveling through vast terrain of Kaokoland to visit semi-nomadic Himba people. Himba are one of the last semi-nomadic communities on Earth, who continue to keep their traditional and ancient way of life, as they did for hundreds of years.

Himba are a tribe of nomadic pastoralist 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.

As Himba men and woman wear few clothes apart from a loin cloth or goat skinned mini-skirt, they rub their bodies with red ochre and fat to protect themselves from the sun that gives their appearance a rich red colour. Himba jewelry is made from iron or shell, and due to their intricate designs have become very popular among western tourists.
