Soak up the spring sunshine on a Cooper’s Cave Picnic

A Cooper’s Cave Picnic is the ideal event for those looking to enjoy a family day out in the warm, spring weather.

Cooper’s Cave, situated 1.2 km from the famous Sterkfontein Caves near Johannesburg, is a relatively new excavation site where several species of animals and a number of stone tools have been found.

On September 11, 2010, Maropeng and iHominin will offer budding palaeontologists a rare opportunity to explore this 1.5-million-year-old fossil site.

The Cooper’s Cave Picnic includes an interactive fossil and site talk, cave exploration and fossil finding, and an opportunity to learn how to make stone tools – all followed by a light picnic lunch.

The picnic costs R350 per person, including lunch. The tour begins at the Sterkfontein Caves at 09h00. This is a family friendly event.

Remember to pack a hat, apply sunscreen and wear comfortable walking shoes – and don’t forget your camera!
