Angola 🇦🇴 Namibia 🇳🇦 by Trevecol
Classified as anthropologically extinct, yet related to the larger ethnic group of Ovakuvale people, the beautiful Ovanguendelengo tribe live in the foothills of the spectacular Serra de Chela mountain range that separates Lubango from the coastal town of Moçamedes. Numbering only around 300 to 400 individuals, the culture of the Ovanguendelengo people is being kept alive mostly by their women, who braid their hair in three-stranded beehive formations which they often cover with scarves. Ovanguendelengo women carry their babies in beautiful papooses fashioned out of goatskin. In celebrations, they are known for their athletically wild dancing.
Visiting a group of Ovanguendelengo tribal people is truly a privileged glimpse into a world which is fast disappearing. Their refusal to intermarry, even with their culturally similar Kuvale relatives, means that we maÿ not long live in a world where these people exist.
