During one of our stays in Kasama, Tobias took us to see some ancient rock paintings.
There are over 700 paintings on this stretch of land, most of them thought to be painted by the Twa tribe (hunter-gatherers) around 1500 years ago.
Obviously, Zambia has changed so much since then. And in some ways, it is still shockingly the same. When we pulled up, there was a young woman leaning against a shack of a building. We paid for her to give us a tour. As we walked and drove from site to site, we saw nobody else until the very end.

| The guide told us that people frequently come up to this spot to meditate. |
It was surprisingly peaceful and quiet for a place with so much history.
