Tsodilo Hills: The Magic Lingers On

To some, Tsodilo is a magical place with a natural spring or sacred well that renews the soul and cleanses the human spirit, yielding blessings, and all that is good.  The legend still goes that the spring is so sacred that if one does not revere the gods while there, he or she is doomed to certain death. They say not long ago, a religious person died there recently because he did not honour the gods.

Yet to others touring Tsodilo Hills is an adventure to be cherished-an adventure because it is a place so far, far away, located at the edge of the country. Adventurous citizens in the not distant past would carve their names on the Tsodilo Hill's gigantic baobab tree, as tall as the female hill itself. The baobab tree is in scripted with names of adventure seekers, who want to be remembered as having set foot there.
