A famous rock painting of at least 2,000 years ago. Despite its name, what is depicted is a male shaman, not a woman. You can buy the permit from the National Heritage Council, 52 Robert Mugabe Avenue, Windhoek, or at the Brandberg Rest Camp in Uis. There are other rock paintings and engravings in the vicinity, in the White Giraffe cave and at the Jochman. Both locations are included in the permit. From the parking area, the White Lady is reachable on foot, a circa 45 minutes hike. A guide is compulsory. You must leave your drinks behind because tourists in the past poured water or coke over the painting to improve the contrast to take pictures.
The White Lady is a rock painting, located on a panel, which also displays other art work. The paintings can be found on a small rock overhang, deep within Brandberg Mountain. The giant granite monolith located in Damaraland and called 'The Brandberg' is Namibia's highest mountain. The painting's German name is Weiße Dame.
