Reviewed By 825vicky - Brisbane Region, Australia

We were on an arranged 12 day tour around Namibia which included a visit to Twyfelfontein. Once you park at the designated parking space it is a short walk tot he reception that has a well stocked gift shop and a small shop with refreshments. It is run by the local people and you are allocated a guide who takes you around explaining the paintings and answering questions. Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. THe painting are beautiful and apparently only a precentage of what is actually still in the area
