Didima San Rock Art Centre


The Didima San Art Centre, at Didima Camp 1km into Royal Natal National Park, offers an insight into San rock art, though sadly many of the exhibits, including the multimedia exhibit, has been out of action for some time with no news on when it might be functioning again. If you plan to visit the centre, tell staff at the gate – the admission fee will be tacked onto your ticket.
