The Himbas are a first people who, despite being in contact with Western civilization, have decided to preserve their way of life.
Solenn Bardet knows them very well, since, barely an adult, 20 years ago, she went to live with them, even being adopted by a Himba family.
In 2015, she convinced Simon Hureau to join her on her next trip to Namibia. For Solenn, the goals of this trip were multiple: to visit her late father's grave, to introduce her daughter Zélie to her Himba family and friends, and to resolve conflicts between clans that were paralyzing the progress of the Kovahimba association's projects...
In this arid land where nothing is simple, organizing a simple meeting requires patience and perseverance.
Alongside Solenn, Simon Hureau and the reader discover the beauty and strangeness of this country and its inhabitants.
Exotic, instructive, magical…
