A wonderful place to take a relaxing out of town drive (less than 50km outside Gaborone) and learn some history and folklore about Bahurutshe and Bakwena. While appreciating the abstract and concrete artistic rock-painting skills of the San People. Take a drive out to Manyana for a refreshing breath of country fresh air just a stone throw away is the landmark Manyana Trading Post.

The paintings are a bit difficult to spot since they are faded. A guide is included in the entrance fee (50 Pula for foreigners) and points out many on the 2000 year old paintings. It's a small yet awe-inspiring place. Reachable by public bus and a short walk.

The closest San rock art near Gaborone. The tour guide was very helpful. Unfortunately, the paintings have faded badly. One would not spend more than 30 minutes here.
