Tsodilo, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Botswana, is a sacred rocky outcrop renowned for its ancient rock art and spiritual significance. Featuring over 4,500 paintings from as early as 1000 BCE, it reflects millennia of human presence and cultural traditions of the San people. Recognized by UNESCO in 2001, the site’s striking quartzite hills also hold archaeological evidence of early habitation. Tsodilo stands as a profound testament to Botswana’s prehistoric heritage.
