Twyfelfontein is Namibia's only UNESCO World Heritage Site, and they're very proud of it. Scattered across a rugged, stoney landscape are stone carvings of animals and symbols some 5-8,000 years old.
Our guide - wearing totally wild white sunglasses - was I think bombed-out on something (maybe the heat?) and, frankly, rubbish. I think I knew more about the art than he did. But the carvings themselves were quite fascinating and the setting is suitably remote and romantic, so as to make it worth the climb.
And the name of this entry is the translation of the place itself.
