Stadsaal's broad sandstone chambers were shaped by weather, while a nearby overhang protects San rock art.
Seeing both prevents geology from erasing the human history held in the same landscape.

Experience FAQ
Walk Stadsaal Caves and rock art
Q01Are the caves and rock art in the same place?
They are separate nearby features within the Matjiesrivier area and should not be described as one archaeological cave.
Q02Why use informed interpretation?
The painting deserves archaeological and cultural context; it is not a decorative add-on to unusual rock formations.
Plan with Alex
Plan a Cederberg rock-art visit
Travel from Johannesburg into wildlife country, follow the warm coast toward the Cape, or let spring flowers lead you north into the Kalahari.
We begin with the part of South Africa you most want to feel, then give the country enough time to change around you.
I want you to follow leopard tracks at dawn, swim in the warm Indian Ocean, meet artists and historians in the cities, then watch the last light turn the Kalahari dunes red. South Africa can hold all of this in one journey.
