Leaving Etosha, you begin your journey north-west via the small town of Opuwo to Epupa Falls area in Kaokoland. This is one of the last remaining wilderness areas in Southern Africa. Although it is harsh and offers little respite at midday, the rugged landscape is especially attractive during the early morning and late afternoon when it is transformed into softly glowing pastel shades.
The Himba people inhabit Kaokoland, they are an ancient tribe of semi-nomadic pastorals, many of whom still live and dress according to ancient traditions and live in scattered settlements throughout Kaokoland. They are a slender and statuesque people. The women especially are noted for their unusual sculptural beauty, enhanced by intricate hairstyles and traditional adornments.

T he proud Himba women spend many hours on beauty care and grooming every day.
They cream their whole body with a mixture of rancid butterfat and ochre, scented with the aromatic resin of the Omuzumba shrub. The cream lends the body an intense reddish glow, which reflects the Himba ideal of beauty. After a wonderful full day of visiting the Himba people, we return back at the lodge to relax for the remaining day and view the beautiful valleys and mountains with breath-taking sunsets.
