A UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for two things: extraordinary ancient rock art painted by San Bushmen over thousands of years, and the most accessible white rhino tracking on foot in Africa. Certified guides lead small groups on foot through the granite boulders — coming face to face with rhino at close range in wild conditions. The landscape itself — balancing rocks, kopjes and hidden valleys — is unlike anywhere else in Africa.
