Rock Art in Namibia

Oropoko rock art is located in the extensive safari grounds of Orokopo Lodge, Namibia. The rock art is remote and you need to take the lodge safari vehicle to reach it. The coordinates are given for the lodge and not the petroglyphs. I visited these petroglyphs in February 2005 and have no information about their age although I suspect that they are similar to those at other sites in this region including those at Omburo Ost.
