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 first-hand 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, travellers 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.
