Khoisan hunter with bow and arrow.

These are images taken deep in the heart of the Karoo of some Khoisan out in the veld/field.

The Khoisan also known as Bushman or "Hotentots" or shortened Hotnots the name given by Dutch settlers (could be considered derogatory) are indigenous people who are predominantly found in the Karoo region of South Africa.

Khoisan family gatherers.

They have their own unique dialect which incorporates the well known clicking sounds.

Photos taken for use on a friends photography site. You can see some more works by visiting the site.

Nice photos!!

I'm glad the natives are still keeping their old traditions and culture for the next generations.

Indeed.

The pics are awesome! The fact that you took them makes me wonder what it's like to live near a tribe like this. I assume they are friendly, and don't mind having their pictures taken?

Thanks. Very friendly and hospitable. Very peaceful passive people. Me being from that region and classified "Coloured" means I probably have some Khoisan blood. 😬 so maybe they related to me a bit.

Different cultures is what makes our world beautiful. It always fascinates me seeing how indigenous people live off the land.

Indeed. Thanks for comment
