Lesotho has hundreds of fine examples of Bushman Rock Art, cave painting from the San bushmen, now extinct in the area.
Many of the pictures have important historical information on them depicting traditions, hunting methods, etc. In the Butha Buthe area (north west) there is the Liphofung Cultural Centre, where visitors can be guided through an educational centre at one of the best rock art sites.
The many natural cliff overhangs of huge rock mountains in Lesotho offered perfect sheltering places for early man and it is on these walls that the paintings are still found today.
