Explore prehistoric African cave painting on a guided daytrip from Cape Town

This expert guided day trip takes you to the beautiful Cederberg mountain conservancy about 3 hours outside Cape Town, where we'll walk an easy, flat wilderness trail to view a series of prehistoric San bushman cave paintings in one of the best open-air galleries of ancient San hunter-gatherer rock art accessible from Cape Town. See this intriguing stone-age art in the original rock shelters where it was painted thousands of years ago. Walk through this ancient wilderness, learn about the earliest humans and experience their art and the landscape they inhabited for tens of thousands of years. This is a uniquely Southern African experience -- part archaeology, part cultural history, part African wilderness experience.
