Die Toon, a toe-shaped Richtersveld “kopje,” contains an archaeological overhang. Excavations revealed 3,000-year-old lithics, ostrich eggshells, and quartz, indicating infrequent, strategic occupation by ancient hunter-gatherers in this arid landscape.
Known as the “Hand of God,” this two-meter-high Sendelingsdrift rock formation resembles a divine handprint. Local communities visit the sacred boulder for ongoing prayers, honouring geological myths of God’s touch.
Located near the Orange River, Sendelingsdrift features ancient hunter-gatherer rock engravings. These durable depictions of animals and symbols reflect deep spiritual connections to the diverse, resource-rich desert and riverine landscape.
