Dimba / Mudimba

The Dimba are a livestock society that mainly inhabits the savannah on the outskirts of the town of Cahama (Angola).

They also practice hunting and subsistence agriculture. Currently, they usually cultivate the lands of the Himba and liven up their festivals with songs, being their successors in terms of social rank in the area. Their towns are characterized by being surrounded by robust palisades and having houses decorated with colorful geometric patterns. Despite the Christianization of the area, women still preserve a fascinating hairstyle culture, wearir different and amazing styles for every occasion and stage of life.
