Well worth a visit. Mwela rock art site is 100km vast and has over 700 cave paintings - making it one of the richest areas for rock art in Africa. You can see several caves and some rock art highlights in a 30 minute tour along the walkways. Some paintings are 10,000 years old , created by the San bushmen/Twa people. It is an exciting area for kids to explore and climb. The campsite was upgraded last year and there is now a braai area with a tap, bathrooms with toilets and showers. Our guide was knowledgeable and made it fun for the kids! Just a 10 minute drive out of Kasama, 5km or so along Mungwi road. There is a signpost and ticket office.

We only had time to check the Mwankole site, which has a number of caves and some 'Later Stone Age' rock art paintings. Sadly, the paintings are fading away [...] The botanical garden is also something worth seeing.

It's nice and has good Rock Paintings done way back by the Bushmen. The tour guide took us round and learnt alot from there. It's near Kasama along Luwingu road.

Lovely guides teaching the history and meanings of these paintings in a wide, bouldery area. International tourists pay 15$ each, but get a great tour for the price. Residents pay much less. They provide also tents for on-site...
