The big event of the next day was a visit to a Himba settlement where the people still follow a nomadic life living in the traditional way. For this excursion I was joined by an American lady who had also been in the Damaraland camp. It was possible to hold, via our guide, a conversation with one of the older women and afterwards we bought some souvenirs to show our appreciation. They do keep some cows, goats and donkeys but I do not know what the animals find to live on. The landscape is very barren with only the occasional tiny plant apart from the poisonous euphorbia and sometimes a small lizard to be seen. At one point on the return trip there is a hair-raising descent of a steep sand slope back into the Kunene river valley, where there was at least a red-crested korhaan and some double-banded sandgrouse.<\/span><\/p>\n
