★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 155 reviews · from $103Our pick

Guided visit to Maropeng and the Cradle of Humankind, with fossil context and interactive exhibits, but Sterkfontein caves may be closed.

“Fascinating destination. Seeing the fossils part is only one part of the exhibition, so much information about the development of humankind found in the lower levels. There's also a water ride to enjoy, bringing air, earth, fire and water together. The guide was punctual and kept us entertained on the drive there and back.”

“Yves was absolutely wonderful! He picked us up from where we were staying and drove us to the cradle of humankind, giving us a history of south africa on the way. He was so knowledgeable and answered our questions. Yves then looked after us all day! The cradle of humankind was super interesting and the cultural village Lesedi was an amazing place to visit, we learned about different cultures and tribes and got to see an incredible dance show. We had lunch there too which I highly recommend, before Yves drove us back home. Thanks so much for an amazing day!”

9.Cradle of Humankind and Sterkfontein Caves Half-Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 36 reviews · 5 hours · from $120

Half-day tour to Sterkfontein Caves and Maropeng. Fossils, cave formations, and an underground boat ride, with a guided expert.

“Berço da Humanidade: É um daqueles passeios que você precisa estar "preparado para fazer". Por tratar-se de um museu, ele não exige grande esforço físico. Por outro lado, é bastante provocador no sentido filosófico. Nos faz pensar muito sobre nós mesmos. O espaço é bem estruturado. Lamento, porém, que muitos dos objetos expostos ali (especialmente os esqueletos) são réplicas. Pensei que ficaria frente a frente com os orginais. Mesmo assim, vale a pena. Grutas Sterkfontein: Nessa incursão já se exige um pouco mais de condição física. O caminhar por entre as grutas é muitas vezes escorregadio e em alguns casos, apertado. Para quem tem dificuldade de locomoção e/ou claustrofobia, penso…”

“This tour did not come up to our expectations. We arrived at the Cradle of Humankind and started our tour which we could not complete, only having had time to cover a third of the tour, as we had to leave to get to the second part of our tour Lesedi in time for their tour and lunch. The person conducting our tour came out after he saw us leave to ask if it was something wrong with the actual tour and after explaining that we had to leave in order to reach the second part of our tour having been given a time to meet our driver/guide he explained…”
