Bushman Paradise Cave, Rock art and cave site in Erongo Region, Namibia.
The cave lies at the base of a cliff near the Pondok Mountains, featuring an amphitheater-like setting with paintings under a natural overhang.
The first archaeological excavations of Bushman Paradise Cave were conducted in 1917 by geologist E. Reuning, initiating scientific documentation of this location.
The cave walls display numerous painted figures, including giraffes, hartebeest, hippopotami, jackals, kudus, rhinoceros, and human representations from ancient times.
Visitors reach the cave through a path from Spitzkoppe Mountains, with chain handholds provided to assist climbing the smooth, slippery sections.
The convex rear wall of the shelter contains extensive paintings dating from 4,400 BCE to 100 AD, representing one of Namibia's major rock art collections.
