Kamberg Bushman Rock Art

An attraction not to be missed under any circumstances

Bushman Rock Painting at Kamberg Bushman Rock Paintings are plentiful in the Drakensberg. In over a 1000 caves, shelters and overhangs in the sandstone cliffs of the Drakensberg, you will find the most astonishing outdoor art gallery. This pictorial heritage is all that is left of a peaceful and gentle civilisation that was cruelly exterminated, by first black, and then white, territorial invaders. Every one of these paintings is an irreplaceable treasure. But its the rock art at Game Pass Shelter at Kamberg that really is the most worth seeing. Game Pass Shelter in Kamberg Nature Reserve, just south of Giant's Castle Game Reserve, includes some of the the best-preserved paintings in South Africa. Many are large and complex polychrome images. The first paintings you see after you enter the gate are imposing therianthropic figures clad in long black karosses. The recently-opened Kamberg Rock Art Centre is an extraordinarily rich resource for those with an interest in Bushman Rock Painting. Daily morning and afternoon tours are led by community guides. You should allow about three hours for the walk from the Kamberg Rock Art Centre to Game Pass Shelter.
