The Kondoa Rock-Art Sites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Tanzania, feature an impressive collection of ancient rock paintings found in natural shelters along the Masai escarpment. Created over millennia by hunter-gatherer and pastoralist communities, the artwork depicts elongated human figures, animals, and scenes of daily life, showcasing a unique streaky style and high artistic value. These sites also hold cultural significance, as some shelters remain part of local rituals, reflecting a living heritage that connects past and present traditions. Designated in 2006, this site offers a remarkable glimpse into the region’s evolving socio-economic history.
