Gcwihaba Caves (Drotsky's Caverns)
Gcwihaba Caves (historically known as Drotsky's Caverns) is an isolated subterranean cave system set in the remote sand dunes of the northwestern Kalahari Desert in Ngamiland. Comprising massive underground chambers filled with ten-meter speleothems, stalactites, and fossilized dripstones, the caverns are considered a sacred portal by the indigenous San (Basarwa) people. Local folklore asserts that the cave system was created by a giant ancestral python spirit, and explorers frequently report eerie disembodied whispering, sudden light extinctions, disorientation, and phantom bat swarms that haunt its pitch-black passages.
