The rock carvings of Twyfelfontein in the north-west Damaraland region of the country have recently been awarded World Heritage status - the country's first such site.
Twyfelfontein contains around 2,075 carvings across 235 different surfaces showing rhinoceroses, elephants, ostriches, giraffes, and human and animal footprints.
The artworks are thought to date before 1,000 AD, and are linked to the beliefs of the hunter-gatherers who lived in the area.
