Hike to see the iconic Chapman’s Baobab - The Oldest Tree in Africa and a national monument, with a circumference of 25 meters; historically used as a navigation beacon and early “post office” by passing explorers, traders and travelers, many of whom left their inscriptions on its trunk. For longer stays, guests can visit the sacred caves of Tsodilo Hills - a UNESCO World Heritage Site: Experience the art, mythology and spiritual significance of the Tsodilo Hills Bushmen Rock Art site, tracked by the San tribes for 100,000 years. About 4,500 paintings depict legends of half-human hybrids, carvings thought to depict shamans or medicine men and suggest religious metaphors. The Tsodilo hills are believed to be a resting place for ancestral spirits; with "Male" hill, the biggest rock site and a most sacred place, where it is believed the First Spirit knelt and prayed after creating the world with the impression of the knees still embedded in the rock. A secret chamber here has been alleged to be the site of earliest-known ritual. These special sites are visited with some of our most knowldgeable guides for a rewarding interpretive visit.
