A Window into Ancient Namibian Culture
TWYFELFONTEIN
The Twyfelfontein region is a treasure trove of ancient art, home to one of the largest concentrations of rock engravings in Africa. This UNESCO World Heritage site features thousands of petroglyphs created by the San people, some of which date back over 6,000 years. These engravings depict animals such as giraffes, lions, and rhinos, as well as human figures and abstract shapes, offering a fascinating glimpse into the beliefs and lives of Namibia’s early inhabitants.
In addition to its cultural significance, Twyfelfontein is surrounded by stunning natural landmarks, including the Organ Pipes, a series of basalt columns resembling organ pipes, and the Burnt Mountain, which glows in fiery shades of orange and red at sunset. Visitors to this region can explore Namibia’s rich cultural heritage while marveling at its unique geological wonders.
