The Tsodilo Hills are a group of four quartzite hills rising from the sands of the Kalahari in northwestern Botswana, the tallest reaching roughly 1,400 meters above sea level and known locally as the Male, Female, Child and an unnamed knoll. The hills are one of the few significant rock outcrops in this stretch of the Kalahari and have drawn human use for tens of thousands of years, preserving more than four thousand rock paintings across the site. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001, Tsodilo remains sacred to local San communities, who describe it as a place where the spirits of the dead reside.
