Maropeng and The Cradle Of Humankind |
|
|
Trace the early years of mankind on your visit to Maropeng in South Africa
| Overview | |
|
Maropeng, situated in the Cradle of Humankind in Gauteng province, South Africa, is a world-acclaimed tourist destination, spread over a 47,000 hectare valley with patches of shrubs and trees. A visit to the state-of-the-art Maropeng Museum takes you on an incredible journey back in time, literally millions of years in evolution. Maropeng, a Setswana word meaning ‘the place where we once lived’, has witnessed three million years of human dwelling. Have a surreal experience on a boat ride in its underground lake where you can experience the elements first hand in a controlled environment. Recently, one million-year-old Stone Age tools have been unearthed here. Bring your family and trace the very origins of mankind in this Cradle of Humankind.
