Rock art and Cultural Sites

Tswalu safeguards a number of rock art sites scattered across its Kalahari land, left behind by San communities and other early inhabitants. Guides lead guests to see engravings scratched or hammered into stone, alongside cupules and painted figures depicting people, animals, birds and abstract forms. These marks record centuries of life and belief in this landscape. On a guided visit, a specialist explains what the images meant to the people who made them, connecting present-day guests to a much older human presence in this dry, open terrain.
