Himba
are an ethnic group of less than 50.000 people living in northern
Namibia, close to the Kunene River. They are mostly nomadic, pastoral
people and they breed cattle and goats. The women are famous for
covering themselves with otjize,
a mixture of butter fat with a strong red color, possibly used as a
protection from the sun as well as for beauty purposes. Adult women
also wear beaded anklets to protect their legs from venomous animal
bites.

The High Atlas. MOROCCO
High Atlas is a mountain range in central
Morocco in Northern Africa. It rises in the west at the Atlantic
Ocean and stretches in an eastern direction to the Moroccan-Algerian
border.
At the foot of the High Atlas one finds Aït
Benhaddou, a Kasbah or castle still in use. Among the summits at
1600 m height lies the Kasbah of Telouet on the road to
Marrakech. The canyons and ravines of the Dadès and the Todra are
also impressive.
