Tsodillo Hills

Back in 2011 Andrew set out on his world trip which included 6 months wandering around Southern Africa. Occasional phone calls, texts and postcards (!) from him let share his adventures between Durban and Lake Victoria, but one highlight that he missed was the Tsodillo Hills in Botswana. Known as the “Louvre of Africa”, Tsodillo Hills is a World Heritage Site, famous for its 4,500 cave paintings.
Andrew and I often navigate the world by ticking off sites from either the natural or cultural lists and we were keen to add a guided tour to our itinerary for this trip.
Compared to our trip in 2016, this trip the weather had been far, far warmer and the temps we were experiencing were more like our Australian summers! With that in mind we set out early from Drotsky’s camp to arrive in time for a 2-3 hour walk before the heat of the day.
James our guide took on us a magical tour, scrambling around, up and down the Hills - called Male, Female, Child and Grandchild. Most of the best preserved (and more accessible for humans rather than mountain goats) were on Female Hill. Well worth the detour we really enjoyed the tour and headed onwards down the Panhandle towards our final destination in Botswana.Read more
