Overview

The Cradle of Humanity, located just outside of Johannesburg, is one of South Africa's UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This unique site offers tours that provide insights into the origins of humankind in Africa. Visitors can learn firsthand what it means to be human by viewing the numerous fossils found here which explain human evolution. Tour Highlights: - The Dawn of Our Species: View some of the oldest evidence of human ancestors ever discovered. - The Path to Modern Humans: Understand the evolutionary developments that have shaped Homo sapiens through millions of years. - Defining Human Traits: Discover what attributes make humans unique in the animal kingdom. Following the guided tour of the Cradle of Humanity, travelers will have the opportunity to explore the nearby Bathongo Wondercave. Also situated within the World Heritage Site, this cave offers further context about early humanity's emergence in South Africa.

Very informative tour and friendly guides and excellent driver. We’ve even seen wildlife. Especially the cave tour is highly recommended.

Fun trip for solo day out!

Published on Feb, 2025

Marvin was a great guide, friendly and provided a very safe tour. We got to see cradle of humankind and the gorgeous wonder cave. Even got to sneak in a lion and hippo walk!

Amazing, wonderful and humbling

Published on Oct, 2024

Highly recommended, we started at the Cradle of Human Kind, a beautiful and moving experience that left me pondering our own place in the universe. Then a short drive later, we plunged underground, and merged into the cave, nothing I can write is going to do justice to the first impression! Something you really must see and experience for yourself

Great tour and guide

Published on Oct, 2024

Solly was a great guide. He was very informative and an excellent driver. He gave interesting commentary between tour stops. The tour itself was great.

Wonders never cease!

Published on Sep, 2024

The cave and being able to watch the feeding of the lions/wild dogs/cheetas was incredible. This tour was absolutely amazing from pickup to being dropped back off. It’s a must do if visiting Johannesburg!
