Twyfelfontein (/Ui-//aes), a UNESCO World Heritage site in Namibia, is globally recognized for its exceptional San rock engravings. Accessible primarily by 4x4 vehicles due to its remote, rugged desert location in Damaraland, it's typically visited as part of a broader safari itinerary. While self-driving to the site is possible, guided walks with local experts are mandatory and highly recommended on arrival to interpret the ancient art and ensure site preservation. The best time to visit is during the dry season (May-October) for more comfortable temperatures and better road conditions, avoiding the extreme heat and potential flash floods of the wet season. A typical visit lasts 1-2 hours for the guided walk, with entrance fees around N$100-200 for international adults, excluding significant travel costs. Visitors should bring ample water, sun protection, and comfortable walking shoes for the open-air exploration of this significant cultural and historical treasure.
