Himba People

After over 32 hours of flight and waiting at airports I arrived to Windhoek. I arrived to a moderm city, a modern country I never imagen like this. It was far from what I thought.

People is what I always search in my travels. Knowing them to learn how they life, and try to learn about them to make my life better.

Namibia have different groups, but the ones I knew, thanks to my guide Uanee, where Herero and Himbas. After all I heard and all I saw and felt there I wished to be adopted by them :)

I went with Kananga, a spanish travel agency that have a diferent style and make your travels real good and far away from other organizes tours (www.kananga.com)

Marvelous pictures. Namibia is a spectacular country indeed. It is one of the few African countries I want to visit.

Very interesting tips and nice pictures Eva; desert, quiver trees, canyons, wild animals, fascinating people. . . do you think a 2-3 weeks trek is possible in this country (during Austral winter)?
