🎧 Listen to Introduction

Tsodilo is known as the "Louvre of the Desert" for its one of the highest concentrations of rock art in the world. More than 4,500 rock paintings are preserved in just 10 square kilometres of the Kalahari Desert. The archaeological record in the area chronicles human activity and environmental change over at least 100,000 years. In this harsh environment, local communities consider Tsodilo a place of worship frequented by ancestral spirits.
