himba namibia
The Himba Tribe - Namibia. Visiting the Himba was one of the highlights of our travels, probably as was everyone's who have had a chance to visit them. They are well known for their friendliness, but also the reluctance to get modernised. The Himba is the famous tribe of âred peopleâ in northern Namibia. Women paint themselves twice a day with red clay mixed with butter. They wear short skirts made of goat skins and long red clay covered plaits of hair ending with tassells. At first it can seem that there are only women in the Himba tribe.
