Mucubal people
The Mucubal people (also Mucubai, Mucabale or Mugubale) are a subgroup of the Herero people in southern Angola.[1] Like the Masai, to whom they are said to be related, they are semi-nomadic, depending on cattle and agriculture.[1] Their territory is in the Namib Desert, bounded by the Serra da Chela mountains to the north and Cunene River to the south.[1][2]
Mucubal people typically wear little clothing, carry machetes or spears, and are renowned for their endurance, sometimes running 50 miles (80 km) in a day.[2] Their villages typically consist of a group of huts arranged in a circle.[2]
