Himba Photography – Village Life in Northern Namibia
Portraits, daily life, and cultural traditions in the Kunene region
The Himba people of northern Namibia are known for their striking appearance, intricate hairstyles, and deep-rooted traditions. This photo gallery is a visual collection of moments captured during our time in Himba villages near Puros and Opuwo, in the Kunene Region.
From daily life inside traditional mud huts to the application of otjize and the quiet rhythm of village routines, these images offer a glimpse into one of Namibia’s most culturally distinctive communities.
