Chongoni Rock Art

The Chongoni Rock Art Area consists of 127 sites that feature the richest concentration of rock art in Central Africa. They reflect both the traditions of rock art of the hunter-gathers and of agriculturalists from the Late Stone Age til the present day. The paintings are connected to living traditions: funeral rites, girls' initiation and rain making.
