Join us for a trip back to the beginning of Humankind. The Cradle of Humankind is home to one of the most significant archaeological sites in the world and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Sterkfontein Caves located in the heart of the Cradle of Humankind is described as the ‘anthropological treasure house of the world’.
The Sterkfontein Caves is the site of some of the most important discoveries concerning the evolution of man. The Maropeng Visitor Centre in the dramatic Tumulus building is an information and science hub with a collection of brilliant exhibitions that focus on the evolution of humans over the past few million years. The tour is both educational and great fun with interactive displays and magical underground boat cruises.
