The Himba (singular: OmuHimba, plural: OvaHimba) are an indigenous people with an estimated population of about 50,000,  living in northern Namibia, in the Kunene Region and on the other side of the Kunene River in southern Angola. Culturally distinguishable from the Herero people, the OvaHimba are a semi-nomadic, pastoralist people and speak OtjiHimba, a variety of Herero, which belongs to the Bantu family within Niger–Congo. The OvaHimba are semi-nomadic as they have base homesteads where crops are cultivated, but may have to move within the year depending on rainfall and where there is access to water.

The OvaHimba are considered the last (semi-) nomadic people of Namibia.

Visit an authentic Himba Village by arrangement with a guide from Camp Cornie, who works closely together with the community.
