Caves of Namibia

Namibia, a country in south-western Africa, has a total of 124 known caves, 41 of which are situated in the Otjozondjupa Region.

In several of these caves, research has been done and published in various journals, but for some of caves, the location is not commonly known, as the information got lost over the years. Some locations are also deliberately kept secret to protect the caves. The locations are being kept secret because of caves and their rock art getting destroyed and carved out by people. Some of the caves with rock art are now protected by bars. This helps tourists to be able to see them without destroying them.
