Overview:
Let us take you back, way back to the dawn of humankind. The Cradle of humankind is home to one of the most momentous archaeological sites in the world and is a UNESCO world heritage site. Situated in the heart of the cradle, is the breath-taking Sterkfontein caves, often described as one of the “anthropological Gems of the world”. These caves hold some of the most significant discoveries relating to the evolution of man. The caves are also home to many beautiful stalactites and stalagmites formations and undiscovered water systems. The well-equipped and modern Maropeng visitors centre situated in the striking tumulus building, is an information & science hotspot, hosting a wide collection of marvellous exhibitions and interactive displays and an underground boat trip that focuses on telling the story about the evolution of man over the millennia. This tour is both educational and great fun for the whole family.
