The Himba people are descendants of Herero herders and are semi-nomadic people who opt for traditional ways of life.
The village is based on a farmers property and is predominantly women and children as the men work away and by the volume of children they tend to visit home fairly frequently.
Himba women never shower, however I didn't notice them smelling. They apply an ochre mixture on their skin. The Himba people were welcoming and the children were happy and by excited to see us arrive. They were ecstatic when our tour guide became the human helicopter service.
