The Chongoni Rock Art Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, showcases a rich history of rock art traditions from the late Stone Age and Iron Age periods. It's advisable to visit with a local guide who can provide context and insights into the meanings and significance of the art. Accessibility can be challenging due to the rugged terrain; expect some walking and climbing. The best time to visit is during the dry season (May to October) to avoid slippery conditions and heavy rains. A typical visit might last half a day to a full day, and costs vary depending on guide fees and transportation but are generally moderate. While solo exploration is possible, a guide enhances the experience significantly. Be aware that some sites may have limited access to protect the art.
