Painters Cave

Image 1 of 12

Location:

Garden Castle Wilderness Area, lower southern Drakensberg.  This cave contains valuable Bushman paintings depicting horses, horsemen and battle scenes.

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

GPS Coordinates:

Undisclosed

History:

These paintings represent the Bushmen’s record of an historical event that affected them. The notion that Bushman rock art is purely spiritual in nature is mistaken.
