Go and have a look at the beautiful rock art created by indigenous people many years ago. This cave, nestled in the fields of Zastron, gets its name from the many rock paintings of hippos that have been drawn on it by our South African ancestors who inhabited thousands of years ago. This is definitely one to write home about and will be an experience to always treasure and remember.
