Himba woman ready to travel with her belongings in a village near Epupa falls. Himbas are a bantu tribe who migrated into what today is Namibia a few centuries ago. They presumably come from East Africa and especially the women keep very complicated ways of dressing and decorate their bodies. They apply a paste made out of red powder and butter or vaseline over the whole body and hair, leaving the ends lose so they can attach artificial hair. Everything in the woman dress or jewellery has got a meaning from being married to having kids, etc. Although Himbas sustain a very basic existence, they are a proud tribe and live completely adapted to their environment. This doesn't mean that they are not evolving. Nowadays is very common to see a Himba woman with a mobile phone or shopping in one of the small malls in Opuwo, the capital city of the Kunene region. They rely on hitchhiking when they want to travel long distances since most of them do not own a car or motorcycles. When they travel they usually take with them a bundle with everything they need which is not usually much.
