Ankole cattle also known to be as one the countries biggest prides. It can be seen in the cultural image of the herero women that they get their inspiration of the head gear from the ankole cattle.










These hand woven baskets unlike the ones displayed before them are made out of reeds found by the bedside of the river. The reeds are cleverly woven together to create fishing nets that will help the women  fish.






Hand woven baskets that can be used both as a mean of storing dried foods or also as a means of decoration in ones household.





Enjoy a wider range of foods during a wonderful experience of Orange Letlhafula day.







Herero cattle dance...



The herero are an ethnic group that can be found in Botswana.
Unlike most Bantus, who are primarily subsistence farmers, the Herero are traditionally pastoralists and make a living tending livestock.  Cattle terminology in use among many Bantu pastoralist groups testifies that Bantu herders originally acquired cattle from cushitic pastoralists inhabiting Eastern Africa. After Bantus settled in Eastern Africa, some Bantu tribes spread south. Linguistic evidence also suggests that Bantus borrowed the custom of milking cattle from Cushitic peoples; either through direct contact with them or indirectly via Khoisan intermediaries who had themselves acquired both domesticated animals and pastoral techniques from Cushitic migrants.
The Herero claim to comprise several sub-divisions, including the Himba, the Tjimba (Cimba), the Mbanderu and the Kwandu. Groups in Angola include the Mucubal, Kuvale, Zemba, Hakawona, Tjavikwa, Tjimba and Himba, who regularly cross the Namibia/Angola border when migrating with their herds. However, the Tjimba, though they speak Herero, are physically distinct indigenous hunter-gatherers: it may be in the Herero's interest to portray indigenous peoples as impoverished (cattleless) Herero.




Enjoy a hearty dish of  seswa, bogobe jwa lerotse, dikgobe, letlhodi and wild chicken.
