Cradle of Mankind

The world’s richest hominid site and world heritage treasure is  only 50 minutes away from Johannesburg and 25 minutes from Lanseria International Airport. The Cradle of Humankind was declared a World heritage site in 1999 due to the vast  numbers of well preserved fossils and stone tools of hominids (humans, their ancestors and bi-pedal relatives) telling the story of human origin and heritage.

There are 15 major fossil sites in the Cradle of Humankind, from more than 3.3 million years ago through early and late stone-age and up to the present day, Sterkfontein Caves being the most famous. The fossils “Mrs Ples” and “Little Foot” were both discovered here, as well as thousands more fossils of hominids, plants and animals.
