himba hut

hartmann valley
north east namibia, nov 2004

we visted this himba village when we were staying at serra cafema wilderness lodge (5 suites).
only the guest of serra cafema visit the village - the agreement between the lodge managers and the village's chief: guest are welcome and as a compensation the lodge provides a kind of boat transfer for the villagers to/from angolan side of the river because some of the relatives live in angola. furthermore the lodge delivers fresh water so that the villagers can safe travelling back and forth to the only source of water: the kunene river.
close to serra cafema the kunene river builds the natural border between namibia and angola.

    Ah ha Irma, so you are lacto-ova-vegetarians??
    As I expected, the last time I was in this area, there was a great deal of wonderful lush green vegetation!!!
    Now that all the vegetarians have visited here, they killed and ate all the vegetation. How sad???
    Ha ha ha.
    Now not even snakes can hide there!!!
    I am going to have to keep an eye on you folk, if you visit Australia again!!!
    Thank you wonderful folk, and thanks for your kind comments on medusa.
    Outback John.

    sher schön; die hütte sieht fast aus wie ein kleiner felsen. ob zu mittig oder ich; schwer zu sagen, müßte man mal einen vergleich sehen. ganz toll auf jeden fall die erdigen farben.

    aja, so siehts also bei den himbas aus (bei den massai sieht d hütte wieder a bisserl anders aus ... andere länder, andere sitten ;-)
    schöne warme farben - i denk, bei dem photo wirds a ganz schön "warm" gewesen sein, oder irre ich?
