Arrival at Hosea Kutako International airport. Meet and greet by our representative at Hosea Kutako Windhoek International Airport. We will drive into Windhoek which is often described as a city with a “continental” atmosphere. This can be ascribed to its architecture- historical buildings dating to German colonial rule as well to its cuisine, culture, dress codes and educational institutions. Windhoek has the colour, sounds and pace of a modern African city. Dinner is on own account.

Today takes us to Opuwo, home of the Himba People. The Otjiherero-speaking Ovahimba, commonly referred to as the Himba, are one of Africa’s last remaining ethnic groups who chose to maintain their traditional life-style by retreating into Namibia’s most remote and un spoilt wilderness area. Slowly the industrialized nations are reawakening to the importance of that balance for the future of our planet. The Ovahimba with their ancient knowledge and traditions can not only serve as sources of inspiration and encouragement but they also deserve recognition and support as the carriers of an invaluable cultural heritage who are trying to survive on the brinks of a modern African society. Your tour guide will prepare dinner which you will enjoy with your host family.

The day will be spent learning and partaking in the daily life of the Ovahimba.
