Bantus in Namibia:

The largest Bantu-speaking groups in Namibia include:

Ovambo
The largest ethnic group in Namibia, making up about half of the country's population.
Speak Oshiwambo languages, which belong to the Bantu language family.
Predominantly live in northern Namibia.

Herero
Speak Otjiherero, a Bantu language.
Known for their distinctive Victorian-style traditional dress.

Kavango Peoples
Include groups such as the Kwangali, Mbunza, Gciriku, Mbukushu, and Shambyu.
Live along the Okavango River.

Lozi
Found mainly in the Caprivi (Zambezi) Region.
Closely related to the Lozi of Zambia.

Tswana
Present in eastern Namibia near the Botswana border.

Bantu Expansion into Namibia
The ancestors of Namibia's Bantu-speaking peoples arrived during the later phases of the Bantu Expansion, moving southward from Central and East Africa over many centuries. They settled mainly in the better-watered northern and northeastern regions of present-day Namibia.

Today, most Namibians belong to Bantu-speaking communities, with the Ovambo being by far the largest group. However, Namibia remains one of Africa's most ethnically diverse countries, also home to groups such as the Nama, San, and Damara.
