The Himba are a indigenous tribe semi-nomad that inhabits Namibia, Africa. They speak the Otjiherero language and still preserve their ancestral customs intact today. They are divided into tribes led by a single chief, who in turn is the spiritual leader of the group. Polygamy is allowed, although a man is not allowed to spend more than two nights with the same woman. The appearance of the Himba woman stands out, covering his body with a reddish mixture made from ocher, butter and herbs to protect himself from the intense sun.
