Spend some warm family time at Maropeng this winter
School's almost out and it's time to make some wonderful winter memories with the family. Why not head to where it all started – the Cradle of Humankind?
The Maropeng Visitor Centre and the Sterkfontein Caves, located in this World Heritage Site just an hour outside Johannesburg, offer adventure and education for the little ones, and some thought-provoking points to ponder for older inquiring minds.
But don't just take our word for it. Families have been raving about their experiences at Maropeng recently on social media.
