Those painted Himba ladies…

The landscape has changed. Green hills are all around! Driving on the gravel we reached today Kamanjob township in the northern Namibia.
In the afternoon we visited with a local guide the village of Himba tribe. The Himba woman do not use water to wash themselves. They use smoke… and everyday they paint their bodies. They wear little clothing, but the women are famous for covering themselves with otjize, a mixture of butter fat and ochre, possibly to protect themselves from the sun and insects…
Interesting culture! Their huts made of mud are similar to those in the equatorial Africa. They live from the herds of cows.
I took a lot of pictures of woman and kids. Tropical storm forced us to come back to the guesthouse…
