Inanke Cave
One of Matobo's most elaborate and intricately painted rock-art caves, a 7 km hike from Toghwana Dam, with walls covered in human and animal figures.
Inanke Cave is regarded by many as the peak of Matobo's rock-art tradition. Its walls are layered with giraffes, elephants, rhinos, processions of human figures, and abstract patterns interpreted as beehives and the spirit world, with colours and details well preserved. The cave lies in the eastern wilderness area of the national park. From the Toghwana Dam camp, follow cairn markers for about 7 km (2–3 hours one way), climbing over granite slopes. Few people come here, so it is advisable to take a guide and carry plenty of drinking water. The hike suits those with a reasonable level of fitness, and a national park entry ticket is required.
