The People You'll Meet The spirit and heartbeat of any place lies in its people. We’ll introduce you to local families, artisans, farmers and cultural specialists to hear their stories, savor their cooking and gain a deeper understanding of life in Africa. Here are just a few friendly faces you can expect to encounter.
Local Tribes
Ancient communities keeping traditions alive Step back in time during your visit to the Himba tribe. Known as the last semi-nomadic people of Namibia, they’ll welcome you into their village to share traditions and customs that have stayed much the same over the centuries. You’ll gain a greater understanding of why the women coat themselves from head to toe in ochre ‘otijze’ paste, how they judge their social status by livestock and what part their ancestral fire plays in daily life.
