Projects: The Himba Tribe, Namibia (scroll down)
The Himba live in the northern district of Kunene region, Kaokoland, Northern Namibia. They predominantly breed cattle and goats and lead a nomadic life. Clothes, hairstyle and jewellery are all of particular significance to the Himba and are part of their tradition and culture. They traditionally cover their bodies from head to foot with butterfat tinted with ochre to protect their skin from the severe sun and desert climate.
