The story

Traditionally, the indigenous people of Namibia; the San, the Ovatjimba, Ovatue and Ovahimba have been in Namibia for some 2,000 years, making them the habitants that have been there the longest. Up until today, regardless of the new innovations that come with new findings, new knowledge, new technology, and advanced developments; to mention a few, many of the indigenous people of Namibia remain hunters and gatherers, solely dependent of what nature offers them.

Women dress in skirt-like clothing made from calfskins and sheep skin and the upper part remain topless year in and year out. They smear their bodies with a homemade paste made from butterfat and ochre pigment to cleanse their skin and protect the skin from hot and cold weathers, and also from insect bites.
