Wildebeest Kuil Rock Art Centre, Rock art exhibition site near Kimberley, South Africa.

The centre contains over 200 rock engravings spread across a hill, connected by an 800-meter walkway with multiple information points throughout the location.

George William Stow created the first documented copies of rock engravings at this location during the 1870s, contributing to early understanding of Bushmen culture.

The land belongs to the !Xun and Khwe San communities, who maintain and present their heritage through guided tours explaining the significance of ancient rock art.

The centre operates Monday through Friday from 9:00 to 16:00, charging R40 for adults and R20 for children, with special rates for educational groups.

The engravings primarily depict large mammals using a pecking technique that removes the outer rock crust to reveal lighter stone beneath the surface.
