Activity itinerary

Sterkfontein Cave (Pass by)
Sterkfotein Caves is situated on the borders of the Cradle of Humankind, which is one of the World's Heritage Sites in South Africa. In 1949 R. Broom discovered the Skulp of "Mrs. Ples" Plesiathorous Transvalensis, which belongs to the family of the Australopithecus Africanus (WildApes of Africa). This simply means that The Hominids roamed the land around 3 Million years ago, but because of Natural Catastrophic events, the Sps had to undergo some serious changes. Evolution took its cause and Homo Robust, H. Erectus, H. Habilis and Homo Sapiens (The class that humans belong to) came to life. with all this happening Pangea broke into Gondwana and Laurasia, and the species had to adapt to different worlds. Because this is all Hypotheyicaly speaking, we are still in search of the missing link, so come and explore the Cradle and see if you might be a discoverer NB !!! The Caves are still closed due to high levels of underground water.
