Botswana's Untamed Beauty
Tsodilo Hills
Tsodilo Hills, located in north-western Botswana, is one of the country’s most significant cultural and historical landmarks. Often referred to as the “Louvre of the Desert,” Tsodilo Hills is home to one of the richest concentrations of rock art in the world. This UNESCO World Heritage Site features over 4,500 paintings across its rock faces, created by the San people thousands of years ago.
The hills themselves are considered sacred by the local community, who view them as a spiritual place of creation and ancestral connection. The surrounding area is also a wildlife haven, with various bird species and unique flora. Tsodilo Hills is not only a must-see destination for history and culture lovers but also for those interested in nature and adventure.
Best Time To Visit
Tsodilo Hills
The Best Time to Visit Tsodilo Hills is during the dry season, from May to October, when the weather is cooler and more comfortable for hiking and exploration. This period offers clear skies and better visibility of the rock art. The rainy season (November to April) brings lush vegetation, which can make access to some areas more difficult, though it is still a great time for birdwatching and experiencing the natural beauty of the region.
