In mid-January I booked a last minute tour with MoAfrika for a half-day (closer to 3/4 of a day) tour to the Cradle of Humankind. I was a little disappointed in the tour - there was only one other person on the tour, no guide, only a driver. And it seemed pricey for the service provided - about 2,000 Rand, about US$140. But the site itself was amazing. I particularly enjoyed visiting the caves where Little Foot and Miss Mes were discovered. It’s one of the most significant archaeological finds - they were our ancestors! The museum was also very interesting. A really worthwhile outing, about an hour from Johannesburg. You can probably save some money by engaging a taxi driver to take you out to the cave and then to the museum.…

We first visited the cave, you actually have to crawl through small spaces during the tour.

The boat ride through the 4 elements was fun but felt like a waste of UNESCO money at the same time. The rest of the museum was excellent, great fun especially for teenagers and young adults. Very modern. Very good.…
