Gulubahwe Cave

Location:
Matopo Hills old Gwanda Road

Description:
The cave is an exquisite gallery of ancient rock paintings, fashioned by the San hunter-gatherers over thousands of years ago.

It contains many interesting paintings all of which are over-shadowed by an immense painting of a snake, with a short curly tail, toothed jaws, and carrying animals and humans on its back. The hill which contains this cave is a favourite nesting place for the cape raven (Corvus ablicolis), pairs of which may often be seen performing aerial acrobatics high over the valley.
