Eland Cave

Eland Cave

Image 1 of 9

Location:

Cathedral Peak Wilderness Area, lower northern Drakensberg. Because of its valuable Bushman paintings, this cave is not marked on the maps of the area. The cave falls within the Cathedral Peak Special Conservation Area (SCA), and you may only visit it in the company of a SCA-accredited guide. It holds one of the highest concentrations of Bushman rock art in South Africa; the paintings are generally well-preserved and because it is unmarked they have so far been largely untouched by vandals.

WARNING! It is a serious offence to stay overnight in this cave because of its numerous Bushman paintings. This is generally the case for any cave containing large numbers of Bushman paintings.

History:

The cave gets its name from the vast number of eland painted on its walls.
