The Maropeng Family Fun Walk is a signature heritage-inspired outdoor experience hosted at the heart of the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site. Taking place on 21 March – Human Rights Day, the walk brings families, friends, and communities together to celebrate unity, wellness, and our shared human story.

Set against the iconic landscapes surrounding Maropeng, the fun walk offers a safe, non-competitive route suitable for all ages—from young children to grandparents. Participants will enjoy fresh air, breathtaking views, and a meaningful journey through a place that tells the story of where humanity began.

The Maropeng Family Fun Walk encourages visitors to move together, learn together, and celebrate together, while engaging with one of South Africa’s most significant heritage destinations. It is an invitation to reconnect with loved ones, honour our collective humanity, and enjoy a memorable day out in a world-class cultural setting.
