Custodians of culture
Proclaimed as a South African National Heritage Site, Bushmans Kloof protects more than 130 unique rock art sites across the 7500-hectare reserve. While recognising the immeasurable value these ancient paintings hold in the nation’s cultural landscape, we are honoured to be able to share these shards of human history with visitors.
In addition, the Bushmans Kloof Heritage Centre features a unique collection of artefacts, reference works and photography, documenting the culture and history of the San people.
Making a difference
The Bushmans Kloof rock art excursions have been selected as a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® experience. Chosen for the positive impact it has on the traveller and the communities we explore, it directly advances the United Nations’ Global Goal 11 'Sustainable Cities and Communities' by preserving ancient traditional art, an important element of Bushmans Kloof's cultural heritage.
