| The Stone Hills Game Sanctuary boasts equal historical importance. The Lodge is situated just a few kilometres from the Mangwe Pass which was the original gateway to Matabeleland. More than eighty rock art sites have so far been discovered at Stone Hills, plus an iron age kiln and caves containing beads made of both glass (iron age) and ostrich shell (used as adornment by the San women). |
