The Cederberg Mountains, home to the San Bushmen for thousands of years, is a heritage to these remarkable and gentle peoples. Their rock art ( dated to between 300 and 20,000 years old ) combined with the natural surreal rock structures imply this could well be the cradle of man, our greatest ancestors!
