San and Khoe people, researchers and other stakeholders joined together to conserve the engravings here - more than 400 are spread over a small sacred hill. A visit here can be a deeply moving experience, and an informative one for school groups. The site, surrounded by land owned by the !Xun and Khwe San people, is on a servitude set aside for rock art conservation and public access. Our rock art custodians/tour guides will help make your visit special. The experience begins at a visitor centre, where there are displays, and an auditorium with a twenty minute introductory film. The 800 m walk-way weaves up and over the hill via a number of information boards. Guides provide commentary and will answer your questions. On your return, the N//aoh Djao shop at the Centre is a premier outlet for art and craftwork from the !Xun and Khwe community. Rock art books also available and refreshments. Facilities (auditorium, kitchen, etc) may be hired for small conferences/workshops/end-of-year functions.
