Tsodilo Hills |
|
A world heritage site, the four rock formations
of the Tsodilo Hills are a unique and unusual place to visit. 400
or so roak paintings dot the rocks a local guide can take you to
the best examples or you can just wander around and look for them
- look on the shady weather protecetd side of large rocks. Take
plenty water is is always hot among the hills and there are no services
available.
It is possible to stay overnight among the Tsodilo Hills a well
wothwhile experience as the quiet atmosphere is very mystical also
the lack of lights anywhere nearby brings the stars and night sky
so close it feels like you can reach out and grab a star, not difficult
to imagine why the Bushman of old regarded the place as sacred.
Only camping is available and you have to take everything, basically
you can camp anywhere around the hills in any clear spot, there
is no water/ablutions/supplies/firewood so bring everything
access is ONLY by 4WD and currently it is free of charge - donations
accepted at the visitors centre
There are rumours that charges may be introduced at some point.
Day visits are possible from Shakawe 53km away but a 4wd is required,
(see below for Shakawe accommodation)
