Rock Art

"One of the world’s largest open-air art galleries."

Bushmans Kloof guards and conserves over 130 unique rock art sites, which can be viewed only by resident guests, archaeologists or researchers.

The mountains are millions of years old. The people whose culture and spiritual legacy is painted on the rocks were here as long as one hundred and twenty thousand years ago - the Bushman tribes, whose ancestral home was in these mountains.

“South Africa’s rich tapestry of rock art predates the most visited temples and ruins around the world, and is by far the oldest record of human art forms… Many countries have beaches and wildlife, but we also have the cradle of mankind.” – Minister Valli Moosa, Former Minister of Tourism and Environmental affairs (May 2000).
