The San Bushmen were the original inhabitants of Southern Africa for many thousands of years. They were the creators of Africa's deep cultural past. Their only surviving monument to this achievement is their rock art, which is to be found in great variety in the Drakensberg.

They existed as nomadic hunter-gatherers. Their shamanistic (medicine man) approach enabled them to survive in this harsh environment. They lived close to nature, were generous and hospitable people and killed only for their own survival.

Unfortunately due to the arrival of both the Zulu and the European settlers, these small, innocent people were driven deep into the Drakensberg. Due to disputes & cultural differences they were partially exterminated & absorbed by the surrounding tribes.

San rock art can be found in the sandstone shelters of the Southern Drakensberg (of which there are over 200 sites) and represent some of the finest in the world.

We are able to offer a variety of guided rock art hikes, varying from 2 hours to 3 days. An accredited guide will draw you into the culture & traditions of these unique people.
