ANCIENT CAVES AND PAINTERS OF THE SOUTHERNMOST COAST OF AFRICA

river

In the pristine mountains and valleys of Baviaans Kloof one can deeply connect with the way of life lived by ancient African people for thousands of years, in verdant and vibrantly alive environments, along a clear flowing emerald splashed river.

In these spectacular natural environments and ancient habitats we are overwhelmed by peace and beauty and re-connect with our own humanity and our original unconditioned selves.

The exquisitely painted ‘Picture Walls’ in riverside caves, reveal the presence of painters who created delicate and fascinating works in unusual colours of many different kinds of people, local animals and bold symbols.

Ancient Communications are reaching us today from the inhabitants of the ‘Garden of Eden’ on the southernmost shores of the African continent.

The many ancient cave habitats in the mountains, the very different people, the animal depictions in the cave paintings and the fertility and varied ecosystems of the region all speak of abundant life.
