“We had a great time in Omungunda Campsite. Three himba culture brothers: John, Prof and George, are running the place by preserving himba culture. One of the few campsites in Namibia managed by local black Namibians. We had long and very interesting conversations with them. They guided us into the Himba Living Museum (a genuine experience). We liked a lot the campsite: quiet, nice, and simple but with all the essential comfort. Nearby the campsite, they showed us a big cave with undated bushman paintings, and a huge baobab tree that holds a secret.” - Loïc Alejandro, 2018/10/07
