Twyfelfontein

Twyfelfontein holds one of the largest concentrations of rock engravings in Africa, more than 2,000 carvings made by hunter-gatherer communities over some 6,000 years, and Namibia’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site. The engravings depict rhino, giraffe and elephant, along with symbols whose meaning is still debated, set against the red rock of the Damaraland landscape. A local guide is essential to make sense of the site, and it pairs naturally with the wider Damaraland region’s desert-adapted wildlife.
