Sterkfontein Caves

I arranged this tour with Moja Africa Tours to two sites in the Cradle of Humankind and a Cultural Village. Driver was right on time at 07:40. It was a great day with my driver Marvin, who proved to be an enthusiastic and great source of information about all of the past and present of South Africa.

Our first stop was the Caves. I was only able to go down a few steps as the passageway was steep, slippery and low enough to require going on all fours and not suitable for a man on crutches. The caves have been the source of the largest number of hominid fossils anywhere in the world.

However, there were excellent exhibits on human evolution and a full skeleton replica of Little Foot. It was really an excellent museum.もっと詳しく
