The Manyana Rock Paintings are a collection of rock art and caves located at the Kolobeng hills, neighbouring Manyana, Southern District, Botswana. It is believed that the artworks were made by the Khoikhoi or the San people between 1100 AD and 1700 AD.[1] The paintings are found on five cliff areas around the rocky hill.[2] Today, the site is fenced and protected as a National Monument.[3][4]
