Tsodilo Hills Museum and Office.

Serving as the logistical gateway to one of southern Africa’s most profound heritage landscapes, the Tsodilo Hills Museum and Office is where journeys into Botswana's ancient past begin. Before setting out on the Rhino, Lion, or Cliff trails, visitors check in at this traditional-style administrative hub to arrange guides and learn about the four quartzite hills rising from the Kalahari scrub. The surrounding cliffs and rock shelters contain over 4,000 paintings—some dating back 20,000 years—depicting wildlife, human figures, and geometric patterns. Beyond the archaeological wonders, the site remains deeply sacred to the local San and Hambukushu communities. The museum provides essential context for these active spiritual traditions, making it an indispensable starting point.
