      What you can expect

      Discover the place where it all began with Africa Moja Tours & Safaris as we take you on an unforgettable journey to the Cradle of Humankind, a UNESCO World Heritage Site just outside Johannesburg. Known as the birthplace of humanity, this site has yielded some of the most important fossil discoveries in history, dating back over 3 million years.

      At the heart of the Cradle lies the world-famous Sterkfontein Caves, where pioneering archeologists uncovered fossils of early hominids such as Mrs Ples and Little Foot. These discoveries have helped scientists piece together the story of human evolution and our shared ancestry.

      Walking through the Sterkfontein Caves with our expert guides, you’ll step into the same chambers where these ancient remains were found. Above ground, the Maropeng Visitor Centre complements the experience with award-winning interactive exhibitions that bring science, history, and evolution to life.

      With Africa Moja Tours & Safaris, you don’t just visit a site — you immerse yourself in the story of humankind. From the awe-inspiring underground chambers of the caves to the thought-provoking exhibitions at Maropeng, this tour offers a powerful reminder of our shared origins and the incredible journey of human evolution.
