Is the Cradle of Humankind worth visiting?
It is definitely a worthwhile place to visit with a very affordable R150 per person admission fee. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable as well as very helpful. We really enjoyed this trip! Had booked it through “Get Your Guide” with Moja Africa and we were not disappointed.
Is the Cradle of Humankind in Johannesburg?
The Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site lies about 50km north-west of Johannesburg, an area of rolling grassland, rocky outcrops and river courses typical of this land before it was overtaken by urban sprawl. It's here where you get to see history in the flesh, or should we say bone.
Why the Cradle of Humankind is such a popular attraction?
The Cradle of Humankind is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located just 45 minutes from Johannesburg. It's one of the world's most important fossil sites and the birthplace of many significant palaeontological discoveries. The area reveals stories of our earliest ancestors — a deep reminder of how far we've come.
