Namibia



There is about 16.000 himba people in Kaokoland area. The Himba people is the most distinctive traditional group of people in Namibia. Himba or Ovahimba means "Those Who Ask for Things". The women are dressed in goat-leather miniskirts, the "erembe" headresses, "ondengwa" necklace and the "ohumba" shell. A lot of the Himba men don't wear the traditional cloth.
