The cave site is nine km. off the main highway from Kondoa to Arusha, about 20 km. north of Kondoa. The caves contain paintings, some of which are believed by the Tanzania Antiquities Department to date back 1500+ years. The paintings depict elongated people, animals, and hunting scenes. Tourists are asked to report to the Antiquities Department office on the highway at the village of Kolo and ask for the cave paintings guide.
