Tjimba

The Tjimba are Herero-speaking people of the mountainous country near the Kunene River in southwestern Africa. Their home lies among the dry ridges and valleys of the Kaokoveld, where wild foods and hunting have supported communities alongside their pastoral neighbours. The Kunene runs westwards to the Atlantic, giving the northern edge of this arid country a river unlike the seasonal watercourses farther south. The Tjimba share the wider region with Himba and other Herero-speaking peoples.
