Намибия: Живой музей племени Химба

Живой музей племени Химба в Намибии, южная Африка

Кочевой народ Химба в Намибии.

#Химба #Намибия #ЮжнаяАфрика Племя Химба - кочевой народ (численностью около 20 000 - 50 000 человек), проживающий в северной Намибии в регионе Кунене. Химба ведут своё происхождение от народа гереро и говорят на языке отжихимба (Otjihimba), диалекте языка гереро. Гереро и Химба понимают друг друга. Химба вместе с гереро мигрировали в Намибию из восточной и центральной Африки несколько сотен лет назад. Около 150 лет назад гереро отделились от химба и переселились дальше на юг, в центральную Намибию (города Виндхук, Окаханья, национальный парк Ватерберг и другие районы). Одежда Для химба прическа, одежда и украшения имеют немаловажное значение в их традиционной культуре. Даже новорожденных младенцев украшают жемчужным ожерельем, а дети постарше носят браслеты из меди, украшенные ракушками. Женщины химба носят юбки из коровьей шкуры, украшенные ракушками и ювелирными изделиями из меди. И мужчины и женщины покрывают своё тело смесью из охры, жира и пепла, чтобы защитить кожу от солнца. Довольно часто в эту пасту (otjize) добавляется ароматическая смола кустарника омузумба. Эта смесь придает их коже красноватый оттенок, который символизирует кровь, которая в свою очередь символизирует жизнь. Женщины заплетают друг другу косы и также покрывают их этой смесью. По прическе женщины можно определить её семейное положение. Прически мужчин также отражают их семейное положение. Например, женатые мужчины носят тюрбаны. Современная одежда у химба практически отсутствует, но если она и появляется, то её получают мужчины. Из современных предметов быта химба используют только пластиковые бутылки и целлофановые пакетики, для хранения вещей, и украшения. В середине 1800-х годов химба были разорены племенем нама и им пришлось заниматься охотой. В связи с этими событиями химба получили название тжимба, происходящее от названия животного трубкозуб. Многие химба переселились в Анголу, где их стали называть химба, что значит «попрошайка». Лидер химба, Вита, также покинул племя. После Первой мировой войны он переселился со своими людьми обратно в Намибию. В 1904 году химба подверглись геноциду со стороны Германии, чьей колонией являлась Намибия, под руководством генерала Лотара фон Трота, которая почти полностью истребила другие племена Намибии, в частности, гереро и нама. В 1980-х годах химба практически прекратили своё существование. Жесточайшая засуха погубила 90% рогатого скота, поэтому многие химба покинули племя и в качестве беженцев отправились в город Опуво, сейчас административном центре региона Кунене. В 1990-х годах химба начали своё возрождение. Правительство Намибии обеспечивает детей химба мобильными школами. © Dronesberg ЮТ канал Dronesberg публикует два видео в неделю: по понедельникам и пятницам.

Namibia: Fort Sesfontein Lodge Rhino Tracking

3 Nights, 4 Days Rhino Tracking Package @ Fort Sesfontein Lodge

Detailed Itinerary

The Kunene Region of Namibia, previously known as the Kaokoland, is one of the last remaining strong-holds of free-roaming black rhino populations in the World.

Fort Sesfontein has partnered with the rhino rangers and the Sesfontein conservancy to offer a 3-night rhino tracking activity into this remote hinterland.

This is a 3-night/4-day itinerary:

Day 1

Arrival and dinner at Fort Sesfontein. This afternoon is at leisure.

Day 2

All meals are included.

Today, Fort Sesfontein will contact the conservancy and the rhino rangers to confirm the arrangements for the activity; including equipment, personnel, additional vehicle requirements and select a suitable area for the rhino tracking activity to take place in. The rhinos can move vast distances and are shy, so the rhino trackers are our best chance to be able to locate these illusive animals.

This will give the clients the opportunity to do a half-day activity with the Lodge, to visit the Himba, or a Sesfontein village visit, or relaxing next to the pool at the Lodge.

Day 3

All meals are included.

The Fort Sesfontein game viewer vehicle will take the clients out to meet with the conservancy concession holders. The rhino rangers will join the guests on the Fort Sesfontein vehicle and the party will head off into the concession area.

The tracking will be done both on vehicle, and if/when a black rhino is spotted and the rangers deem it safe, then the clients will be able to join them to track the rhinos further, on foot.

The rhino rangers have final say, as they are responsible for the safety of both the clients and the rhino, and the clients need to always adhere to their instructions.

We include: water, cool drinks and lunch packs for the clients

In the late afternoon, after extensive explorations of the ruggedly beautiful Damaraland area, the clients will drop the rhino rangers off at the ranger station and return to the lodge for dinner.

Day 4

After breakfast at the lodge, guests depart on their onward journey.

The Price is NAD 15,750.00 per person for a minimum of 3 guests, maximum of 4 guests.

We regret that due to the strenuous nature of this activity, no children under the age of 14 years are allowed.

Guests do need:

Good, sturdy, comfortable walking shoes or hiking boots, sunscreen, hat with a brim, light, layered clothing, including a long-sleeved, light shirt with a pop up collar to protect against the sun and comfortable trousers.

Additional donations towards the rhino rangers and their conservation efforts would be greatly appreciated.

Activity in brief:

Fort Sesfontein has partnered with the rhino rangers and the Sesfontein conservancy to offer a 3-night rhino tracking activity into the remote Kunene region of Namibia, previously known as the Kaokoland.

This region is largely undeveloped and remains one of the last strong-holds of free-roaming black rhinos in the World.

This unique activity offers the guest a once in a life-time opportunity to track these critically endangered animals in their home territories.

In this 3-night itinerary clients will be able to explore the small hamlet of Sesfontein, meet the local Himba community and meet with the rhino rangers, whose responsibility it is to protect these animals from poachers.

Learn about the rhino from the rangers and even track these behemoths on foot!

Namibia: Okahirongo Elephant Lodge, Reimagined

Okahirongo Elephant Lodge, Reimagined

Immersed in the great wilderness of Kaokoland, Okahirongo Elephant Lodge has reopened its doors following an extensive refurbishment.

With seven suites, a two bedroom private villa and a spectacular infinity pool, this extraordinary lodge may be one of the most unique places you will ever visit. Located in a remote, untouched region of Namibia, few visitors will have witnessed the surreal vistas that await you with rugged mountains, shifting sand dunes and curious rock formations.

This oasis is rendered in an organic architectural style that echoes the topography of the desertscape, with a striking dome reflecting the indigenous Himba culture. The open plan, main areas dazzle guests with stunning views of the vast mountainous landscape.

Watch the sun rise over the glistening turquoise infinity pool above the rising hills beyond. With 360 degree views of the breathtaking landscape, take a moment to soak in the stillness.

The expansive and numerous social spaces offer panoramic views of the untouched wilderness. With open sides allowing the outside in, immerse yourself in the otherworldly landscape and experience a strong connection of place. After an action packed day in one of the world's oldest desert landscapes, unwind in comfort on the shaded patio.

Welcoming communal spaces blend chic style with relaxed open-air living. In the main lounge, chunky recessed shelves are dressed with white, clay amphorae, curios and inspiring books.

Each of the seven spacious suites and the two bedroom private villa has been designed as a sanctuary from the harsh desert environment with soothing tones to inspire relaxation. Find solace on the private shaded terrace and keep an eye on the horizon to spot giraffe, springbok and ostrich strolling by.

The serene ambience continues to the en-suite bathrooms where an indoor shower is rendered in bleached-white plaster. In the private villa, large free-standing baths encourage rest and relaxation after a day in the desert.

Learn the ancient history of the unique landscapes and discover cultural tales of the indigenous people from our expert staff, 90% of whom are employed from the local village.

This is a most serene base for your adventures, which include scenic drives with expert Himba guides to track desert elephants, giraffe and plentiful gemsbok and springbok. Another extraordinary activity is a visit to an authentic Himba village, where you’ll meet the indigenous people and learn how they have adapted to desert life.

For those searching for history, take a trip to the phenomenal clay castles of the Hoarusib River valley or visit a Skeleton Coast view point. The mystery doesn't end there – spot the Lone Men of Kaokoland while on scenic drives. These postured rock sculptures blend seamlessly with their surroundings, adding to the extraordinary atmosphere. At the end of a day's adventure, stop to sip a sundowner as the sun sets over the majestic dunes.

Namibia: Okahirongo Elephant Lodge

Okahirongo Elephant Lodge, reimagined

Immersed in the great wilderness of Kaokoland in Namibia sits Okahirongo Elephant Lodge, a magnificent camp on the banks of the Hoarusib riverbed currently undergoing an extensive refurbishment. Due to reopen April 2023 and comprising seven private suites, a two bedroom private suite with open lounge area and a spectacular infinity pool, the lodge blends seamlessly with the otherworldly terrain, ushering in dramatic views of rugged mountains, shifting sand dunes and curious rock formations.

Luxurious living, naturally

This oasis is rendered in an organic architectural style that echoes the topography of the desert scape and makes fantastic use of local materials – think driftwood, clay and stone. Local customs and culture are referenced in the design, as seen in the striking dome roof, which is styled after a traditional Himba home.

Embrace peace in the elements

Each of the seven spacious suites has been designed as a sanctuary from the bright desert glare, decorated in soothing tones to encourage moments of reflection, repose and rest. Throw open the door to your private veranda and find solace in the shaded terrace and glamorous daybed – ideal for an afternoon nap or getting stuck into a novel. Keep an eye on the horizon and you might spot giraffes strolling along the river valley.

The tranquil ambience continues through to the en-suite bathrooms, where an indoor shower is carved from gentle, undulating lines and rendered in bleached-white plaster.

Elevated interiors that sing with style

Expect panoramic views from the generous communal spaces, which take in the sparkling azure of the infinity pool and majesty of the soaring peaks beyond. In the main lounge are chunky, recessed shelves either side of an open fire, dressed with terracotta amphorae, curios and inspiring books, exquisite details that add depth to the room and create pleasing silhouettes in the flickering light. In this peaceful setting, guests can relax with a glass of wine or cocktail before settling down to a delicious dinner in the dining room, now reimagined in opulent umber tones, offset by distressed wooden furniture and oversized rattan lampshades. As another action-packed day in one of the world's oldest desert landscapes comes to a close, guests are invited to gather at the traditional boma to sip and share around the flames, as the inky sky bursts into life from the light of a million twinkling stars.

Life-affirming adventures

Embrace life in the bush with a variety of activities distinct to Kaokoland. Embark on scenic drives with expert Himba guides and spot desert elephants, giraffe and plentiful gemsbok, springbok and kudu. If you prefer a spot of culture, then take a trip to the majestic clay castles of the Hoarusib River valley. These towering natural wonders are thousands of years old and soar hundreds of metres high from various gorges along the riverbed – thanks to the isolated location, you might well have them all to yourself. The mystery doesn’t end here – spot the Lone Men of Kaokoland while out on your scenic drives. These almost life-size rock sculptures blend in seamlessly with their surroundings, further adding to the extraordinary atmosphere.

Namibia: Okahandja Landmarks: 1892 - 1950s - 2022

Okahandja Landmarks

1892 - 1950s - 2022

The small town of Okahandja is  one of the oldest-established settlements in Namibia and is the administrative centre of the Herero-speaking people, with a number of its formal leaders buried here. The official founding of Okahandja is deemed to be 1894, though oral traditions suggests that Herero-speaking peoples have been living in the vicinity since the end of the 18th century, coinciding with  their migration south from the Kaokoland from around 1750.

The days of the ox wagon. Wecke & Voigts established their trading store in a building rented from Samuel Maharero

A yearly procession through the town to the Herero graves commemorates Herero dead during various wars against the Nama and the Germans. As a crossroads between the routes west to the coast and north to Etosha, Okahandja is a busy, bustling place with a railway station, shops, banks, petrol stations and two large outdoor craft markets.

1950s: In the hey day of steam trains: the stately building of Messrs Wecke & Voigts is behind railway station

The last couple years have seen a growth in light industry in the town and the relocation of the research arm of the Ministry of Education as part of the decentralization process in the country.
