White Lady Rock Painting

The White Lady Rock Painting, located on Brandberg Mountain in Namibia, is one of the most famous prehistoric rock art sites in the region. Estimated to be 2,000 to 4,000 years old, it is believed to be the work of the indigenous San people. The painting depicts a female figure in light-coloured pigment, often interpreted as having ceremonial or spiritual significance.

The site is of great cultural importance, offering insights into the San people’s beliefs and rituals. Due to its fragile nature, access is limited to guided tours, where visitors can learn about the painting and ongoing conservation efforts. The surrounding Brandberg Mountain area also provides scenic views, hiking opportunities, and a chance to explore diverse flora and fauna. The painting continues to attract scholarly research, deepening our understanding of the region’s ancient history.
