According to Mr. Jonas Tlouamma, Blouberg, who represented Blouberg Municipality, but a qualified Tourist Guide in his own right, the main attraction of The Makgabeng Plateau is the more than 890 San and Sotho rock art sites that are hidden under strange sandstone overhangs and outcrops.
This area was inhabited by the Tswana, Sotho, San and Khoikhoi people for many centuries. Additionally, this area also offers an interesting recent history of war between the Boers and the proud chiefs around the area at the time like King Rachacha Maleboho of the Bahananwa people who historically originated from Botswana.

This is wonderfully isolated, and has somehow avoided mass settlements over the past hundred years, which has left the habitat beautifully pristine.
Archaeologists have studied this South African rock art site for decades, yet this vast wilderness still remains almost entirely unexplored as far as its bird life goes. You can delve into the wonderful and fascinating history that this area offers and take a step back into centuries of South African history.
