Twyfelfontein Rock Engravings

The Twyfelfontein rock engravings are the most significant rock-engraving site in Namibia. More than 2,500 engravings are found at 17 main sites, as well as several rock paintings. Its one of four top rock art sites in Southern Africa, the home of ancient mankind.





Especially interesting are large images of elephant, rhino, and a lion with spoor instead of paws, and human feet. There are two main routes. A shorter trail taking in some 5 sites & taking about ¾ hour to walk around. A longer trail which takes in 8 sites & will take about 1 hour to complete accompanied by a local guide to explain the stories behind each incredible etching.
