Visit ancient rock paintings at Twyfelfontein. On a hike you’ll pass a special rock formation.

What you can experience here

The rock paintings at Twyfelfontein are between 2,400 and 6,000 years old. Here too they try to prevent vandalism, which is why access to the rock paintings is only possible with a guide. Two hikes start from the visitor centre. If you choose the longer hike you will pass a rock formation that resembles a lion’s mouth.
