Otjikandero Himba Village in Outjo/Etosha, Namibia

Nestled in Namibia’s Kunene Region, Otjikandero Himba Village offers visitors a rare opportunity to step into the world of the Himba people. Established as both a cultural sanctuary and a social project, the village supports orphaned children while preserving the traditions of one of Namibia’s last semi-nomadic tribes.

Some of what we offer includes:

• Guided tours that introduce Himba customs, rituals, and daily life.
• Opportunities to engage with Himba women and purchase handmade crafts.
• Educational programs supporting orphaned children in the community.
• Immersive experiences around the sacred holy fire and ancestral traditions.
• A respectful, authentic environment designed for cultural exchange.
