Королева племени Окванияма, деревня Омеди, северная Намибия. На ней официальная наряд из настоящей львиной шкуры. Королева живет во дворце, окруженном концентрическими деревянными заборами в виде лабиринта.

Прежде чем войти во дворец, посетитель должен заявить о себе криком, поскольку обитатели дворца не любят когда их тревожат. Любой может жить во дворце, если соблюдаются правила. В настоящее время прямо во дворце живут 32 человека.
