Pick from one of numerous walking trails – the Rhino Trail, Lion Trail, Cliff Trail, and others. Explore the three main Hills – Male, Female, and Child – in a journey into antiquity. Archaeologists estimate that Tsodilo has been inhabited for the past 100,000 years, making this one of the world’s oldest historical sites. Digs have revealed pottery, iron, glass beads, shell beads, carved bone, and stone tools dating back 90,000 years.

Rock paintings are nearly everywhere at Tsodilo Hills. Representing thousands of years of human inhabitation, they are amongst the region’s finest and most important. Two of the most famous images are the rhino polychrome and the Eland panel. The latter image is situated on a soaring cliff that overlooks the African wilderness. It is thought that the inaccessibility of many of the paintings may be linked to their religious significance.
