The Sterkfontein Caves are in an area known as the Cradle of Humankind. It is situated west of Johannesburg and was declared as a World Heritage Site in 1999. It is the richest and most productive paleo-anthropological site in the world. Amongst the remarkable findings are the famous "Mrs Ples" and "Little Foot". Both were discovered at this site. We are not allowed to visit the working dig, but we are able to visit the caves, as well as the new interpretive
museum. Join us exploring and learning about our common ancestors before moving on to Maropeng.


Maropeng is a world class museum and takes the visitor on a 4-billion year voyage showcasing the development of the earth from the basic elements, fire, water, earth and air through the development of Mankind.

It also offers the astute visitor with a glimpse into the future. Will we self distruct? Your point of view might well change after visiting Maropeng.

There is a wonderous voyage through an underground lake. With lightning and thunder crashing around you and icebergs and lava all around you learn about how our planet was formed.

Emerging on the other side you will be exposed to our common ancestors, extinct species and learn why we look like we do. The displays are interactive, clever and very visual making this an ideal tour to take with children.

The Maropeng site also includes a hotel, restaurants, conference facilities and a well stocked gift and curio shop.

The Tumulus traditionally houses the spirits and accumulated knowledge of our ancestors and this modern-day tumulus does exactly that. From this impressive structure one can also experience breath-taking vistas of the Highveld grasslands and surrounding koppies.
