Ovambo
(most common name)

(local/other name):
• Ambo (singular)

The Ovambo belongs to the Namibian Ovambo tribes — who were once robbed of their cattle during the middle of the 19th century. They restored their herds with Angolan cattle.

The Ovambo is similar to the Kaokoveld (but smaller), Kavango and Caprivi.
