The northern Kunene Region is home to the Himba people, a nomadic tribe of Herero origin that still lives and dresses according to ancient customs and traditions.
Difference in clothing - the traditional way or just in jeans !! (A herero women)
I took this picture at a petrol station - on our way to Etosha Park. The people in Namibia are friendly - Namibia was a great experience.

HORSCHECK Sun Feb 17, 2008 10:47 UTC Luc, brilliant photos here. I especially like the intro pic. Swakopmund is of course well known here in Germany. Have a lovely Sunday.	VeronicaG Fri Nov 30, 2007 17:15 UTC Unusual architecture featured in your first tip. The sandstorm in your opening pic looked pretty daunting--hope it didn't follow you very far in your travels!
sachara Fri Apr 27, 2007 22:02 UTC Luc, the picture of the sandstorm looks spectacular. It was an odd experience to find this German architecture and atmosphere in this corner of the world.	acemj Sun Jan 21, 2007 16:28 UTC Wow, that's quite a sandstorm. A little bit of Germany in Southern Africa is funny to see. Great pics of the people.
