STAY DIRECTLY WITHIN THE HIMBA TRIBES IN THE EPUPA FALLS REGION OF NAMIBIA
WALKING DISTANCE TO 4 VILLAGES
OUR HIMBA HOUSE APPROACH
Himba House is being built with local craftsmanship, natural materials, and low-impact systems. Its purpose is simple: support cultural continuity while creating a thoughtful place for guests to stay. Revenue from the project goes back to Himba families through paid work in construction, guiding, storytelling, hospitality, and the long-term care of the site. The hope is that work created close to home makes it easier for families to remain in their communities, rather than moving to cities simply because there are no local options. That keeps income, knowledge, and daily life rooted in the villages.
COMPLETELY REGENERATIVEThis is not a staged village visit. Guests stay in a Himba-inspired homestead built with the community, using local knowledge and traditional techniques. You have time here: time to share meals, sit by the fire, ask questions, and understand a little more of life in Kaokoland. The point is not to arrive, take photographs, and leave. It is to stay long enough for real conversations and a more natural exchange to happen.
COMPLETELY AUTHENTICThe community is involved throughout the project, from construction and design to guiding, hospitality, and the way the experience is run over time. Himba House is deliberately small. Guests see Kaokoland through the people who know it best, without separating the stay from the place and community around it. The aim is a visit that feels respectful, reciprocal, and grounded in everyday life.
