There’s more to Tanzania than going on safari! The Kolo-Kondoa rock paintings, some of which date back around 3 000 years, are exceptional for their excellent condition and the number of paintings which have survived. Painted either by hand or by brush, the images depict animals and hunting scenes.
The Kondoa rock art sites are a series of caves carved into the side of a hill looking out over the steppe, c. nine kilometres off the main highway from Kondoa to Arusha about 20 km north of Kondoa, in Tanzania. The caves contain paintings, some of which are believed by the Tanzania Antiquities Department to date back more than 1500 years. The paintings depict elongated people, animals, and hunting scenes.
