The most famous things to see around that area is the “white Lady“. We joined a tour to see the Painting on the rock, which was the communication between the bushmen in Namibia.

The Herero was heavily influenced by Western culture during the colonial period, creating a whole new identity. Although they are ethic group from Africa, they are so different from the the ethic group-Himba. The only thing in common was they both do cattle raising:)

  4. Dearest Tammy,
    When I was doing research about our trip to South Africa (1985) I wanted to know where we went and find out more about the Khoikhoi. http://www.sahistory.org.za/people-south-africa/khoikhoi
    All of a sudden I came to the Herero people from Namibia. But I was shocked for finding out a piece of history that has been hidden for a CENTURY! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-HvcTpiAbw&feature=share&list=PL8E006CE5618C0876&index=1
    Now you too find out where you spent one month of your time.
    Hugs to you,
    Mariette

  5. Wow gorgeous pics my friend !
