Weekly Feature
Rock paintings are a poignant link with the past depicting scenes from a lifestyle that remained virtually unchanged for thousands of years. The Bushmen mixed pigments and ochre in a fluid base to paint humans and animals in stylised form on the walls of caves and on rocks. The Nsangwini Rock Art Shelter is open to the public and competent guides can take you to the scenic site.
