Namibia has one of the largest concentrations of rock art in Africa

Namibia has over 1,200 rock art sites spread across the country. The majority of these sites appear to correspond with the hunter-gatherer art tradition found throughout southern Africa, with some regional differences. Twyfelfontein's rocky outcrops contain exceptional Bushmen engravings, which are thought to be some of the best-preserved etchings on the continent. Visit Namibia's only UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is conveniently located in the Kunene region of northwestern Namibia.

Twyfelfontein was designated a National Monument in 1952 and is home to Africa's most extensive collection of rock art, with over 2500 distinct rock carvings and paintings on 212 slabs of rock, as well as 13 additional art rock slabs, some of which are estimated to be over 6000 years old. Visits to the art sites are best viewed in the late afternoons on guided walks that include a stop at the visitors center, which features architecture that exudes recycled material, is easily dismantled, and seamlessly blends into the red sandstone of the environment. .
