Maropeng (Sterkfontein, South Africa)

Maropeng is the official visitors centre for the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the Cradle of Humankind. It is located approximately 10km from the Sterkfontein Caves on the R400 (which links the R563 Hekpoort Road and the R24 Magaliesburg Road). The Setswana name means “‘returning to the place of our origins” and the Centre is also designed in such a manner that the front view resembles an ancient burial mound (Tumulus) whilst the rear is ultra modern, reflecting the development of mankind. The Tumulus is the first of its kind worldwide and offers, amongst other things, a boat ride on an underground lake. During this tour visitors are transported through geological time to the beginning of the World. From there the tour provides exhibits, theme-park technology and various other techniques to display how humankind has evolved. Available facilities include an open air amphitheatre, conference venues, restaurants, a bar, an observation deck, craft market, souvenir shops and accommodation options. Ample parking is provided. Maropeng is open daily between 09h00 and 17h00, the last tour commencing at 16h00.
