The Cradle of Humankind + Carnivore Restaurant

Maropeng, The Cradle & Carnivore Restaurant

Try out crocodile steaks at the Carnivore Restaurant, watch million-year-old fossils at Maropeng…


Overview
Maropeng, situated in Gauteng province, is a world-acclaimed tourist destination and an area of spectacular beauty. A visit to the state-of-the-art Maropeng Museum, spread over a 47,000 hectare valley, takes you on an incredible journey back in time, literally millions of years in evolution.

The Sterkfontein Caves nearby are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the area is called the Cradle of Humankind because it is believed to be the place where man originated millions of years ago. Among the stunning discoveries made at these Caves are the oldest human fossil and a skull of pre-historic female, which anthropologists have dubbed Mrs Ples.

The major attraction in this tour is the Carnivore Restaurant offering an array of charcoal-grilled delicacies like crocodile, giraffe, kudu, ostrich and Blue Wildebeest among others,roasted on converted Masai tribal spears in a large open fire.

Feast on an unconventional meal after discovering how early man lived millions of years ago.
