Kondoa. Deep in the small town of Kondoa in Dodoma, the United Nations agency that specialises in promoting world peace and security through international cooperation in education, arts, sciences, and culture (Unesco) has concrete posts surrounding ancient rocks designated a World heritage site.

The Kondoa Irangi rock paintings were first reported in 1908, but they are believed to be 2,000- 6,000 years old.
