The Charewa Cave is perhaps the most distant cave in Mashonaland, NE Zimbabwe, but with a large number of different paintings. The access road (in 1991) was very sandy, and I was constantly worried getting bogged down in my small rented sedan. From the village it is a pleasant 30 minute walk, and a short climb, after which you’ll need your time to admire that large number of paintings, originating from San people anywhere between 200 and 20,000 years ago.
