Get Together - The Last Primitive Tribe Of Namibia Editorial Image

The friendly Himba people of Namibia are renowned for their sculptural beauty, their intricately decorated hair styles and the women’s red ochre daubed skins. They live a life of almost extreme isolation in Namibia’s Kaokoland.nThe Himba people originally shared ethnicity with the Herero group, dating back to when they lived within the main group on the border between Botswana and Namibia. The Himba people headed west looking for more available land – they found the Kunene region formerly Kaokoland – an area which is very arid and mountainous with little vegetation but it’s here that they settled with their cattle in the more remote far flung areas. Today there are around 50,000 Himba people living in northern Namibia
