have migrated here, lifestyle and customs intact, and are
following their traditional way of life in their village on
a farm. Oase Village is located about 15-20kms outside Kamanjab,
the exact location of the site varies as the Himba occasionally
roam to a new location.

and will meet the locals. We will have a specialist guide
for the time we are there, who will be able to translate for
us and will introduce us to this 'alternative lifestyle'.
