Twyfelfontein

Twyfelfontein is home to some remarkable geographical features and ancient Bushman paintings and rock engravings.

Volcanic action in prehistoric times gave rise to some of today's most notable geographical features, which include the Burnt Mountain, Doros Crater, the Petrified Forest and the Organ Pipes.

The 3,000-odd Bushman carvings and paintings at Twyfelfontein were created about 6,000 years ago by the Bushman who inhabited the area. They used quartz against the sandstone to create images of all the animals in the area - particularly the giraffe, which was sacred and represented water.
