The Himba of Namibia

Namibia’s Himba people have long captivated travelers with their distinctive tribal appearance and customs. They are easily recognizable as the ‘red’ people, with their exposed upper bodies adorned with a mixture of animal fat and ochre powder. As one of the last remaining tribes that diligently preserve their traditional way of life, despite the allure of modern influences, the Himba stand as remarkable individuals in their unique practices.
