There are many different Bushman peoples; they have no collective name for themselves. The terms Bushman, San, and Basarwa (used in Botswana) are used variously. The Bushmen speak a variety of languages, containing 'click' sounds represented in writing by symbols such as ! or /.
The Bushmen’s history is recorded through rock painting, folk tales and songs. They are as mentioned both hunters and gathers. The Bushmen`s favourite prey for meal is various kinds of antelope, but their daily diet has always consisted more of the fruits, nuts and roots.

Explore the Bushmen`s sacred places
One of the most important sacred places related to the Bushmen is called Tsodilo Hills. It`s also known as the Mountains of the Gods. Here it`s possible to admire over 4500 rock paintings. This makes Tsodilo one of the highest concentrations of rock art in the world. It is also the first and only World Heritage Site in Botswana. The archaeological record of the area gives a chronological account of human activities and environmental changes over at least 100 000 years. It gives great opportunities for unique adventures for travellers who would like to venture into an unknown world in a breathtaking landscape.
