After Cape Cross, we did a bush camp in Spitzkoppe, where there were cave paintings that ranged from 200-1000 (or more) years old. Quite frankly, even with a guided tour from a local, the cave paintings were largely unimpressive. They were faded (no ones fault but nature, of course) but simple, and were not done for any artistic purpose.
Nomad travellers would paint warnings and symbols saying whats in the area so people in the future would know whats around. Thats all, an ancient text message to visitors. Most of you get those on your phone when you arrive in a new country (or the Caribbean, for those of you who have yet to travel abroad).
The camp site was very pretty, and we climbed this huge rock and watched the sunset, took us about 15 minutes to climb up, and we were pretty high up too. I do remember dinner that night being great, it was this spicy Indian dish with a good side dish of a bread similar to Naan.
Bush toilets suck.
