The Shell Tourist Guide to Botswana describes Tsodilo Hills as one of the most rewarding destinations in Botswana. The four hills, namely: Male, Female, Child and North Hill form the highest ridges within Botswana. The !Kung gave the hills the name of the 'Bracelet of God' - this name is very striking as the copper hue that enfolds the hills at sunset make the hills look like a shining bracelet.
Traditionally, it would
take 3-4 hours to complete the notorious 40km 4x4 route, however a new
road has been paved allowing quick access to the hills. We attempted
the 4x4 route on the return journey, but due to lack of use, the
trees/bushes were encroaching on the route so we decided to abandon this
option in favour of saving the sides of our vehicles.
