I’ve fallen in love with a woman from the Himba Tribe in Namibia and I plan on staying here and becoming part of the tribe. Just Kidding! We did however visit the Himba Tribe which was quite an experience. To the right you can see me with a 21 year old Himba woman in front of her family’s hut. As you can see the women do not wear much clothing and they cover their bodies with “Otjize”, which is a mixture of butter fat and ochre to give them a redish tint. The Himba people generally are goat and cattle farmers. They were very nice people and it was a lot of fun to interact with them and learn about their culture. They did not speak english, but we did have a translator that was able to tell us what they were saying.
