Maropeng and The cradle of humankind (6 hours)

The new “State of the Art” Maropeng Museum is a few minutes drive from the Sterkfontein caves. A visit to the museum takes you on an incredible journey back in time. Also visit the world renowned Sterkfontein caves where one of the most infamous fossils on the planet was discovered.

Lesedi cultural village (5 hours)

Traditional African Cultures are slowly disappearing… As the drums beat, gather around an open fire, share traditional songs and dances with the Zulu, Sotho, Xhosa, Pedi and Ndebele families who occupy this tribal village. You will first explore the village and get a feel of their day-to-day lifestyle before you watch dance performances and enjoy a scrumptious traditional African meal.

Sun city. The lost city and Pilanesberg game reserve (Full day)

Visit the valley of waves, the rumbling bridge of time, the Palace of the Lost City and many more. Visit the fourth largest game reserve in South Africa, spanning over 50’000 hectares on mixed terrain ranging from low lying to savannah to the mountains of the Pilanesberg, hence the name.
