Relaxing

Tsodilo Hills

Described by many as the 'Louvre of the Desert', some 4,500 paintings are protected in a relatively small part of the Kalahari. Home to a rich legacy of 100,000 years of human activity, Tsodilo is also revered as a spiritual place by present-day local people, visited by the souls of ancestors.
