Itinerary

Depart from Johannesburg or Pretoria in an air-conditioned microbus and drive towards the Cradle of Humankind declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999. Arrive at Maropeng Visitors Centre & step back in time to discover the wonderful world of Palaeoanthropology ( study of mankind ) whilst experiencing world-class interactive exhibits. It is the world's oldest and most continuous paleontological dig, having been worked for more than 60 years & contains one third of the world's hominid fossils.

Following your tour, enjoy lunch either at the Maropeng Tumulus restaurant or at the more casual coffee shop. Travel a short distance to the Sterkfontein Caves which is also an active dig site. Join the underground cave tour with a local site guide which takes about an hour. The cave consists of six inter-connected chambers as well as an underground lake. The cave is in the hands of the University of the Witwatersrand.

Depart from the Cradle & return to your home / hotel by late afternoon.
