Ever since Namibia’s independence in 1990, a growing stream of visitors have been to the Kunene North region, or Kaokoland, home to the Ovahimba people who live on both sides of the Kunene River that marks the border with Angola.
The savanna landscape and zebra-striped mountains of this semi-arid locality is sensational and the Ovahimba cattle farmers are friendly people with a rich cultural heritage and strong traditions.
