Maropeng Cradle of Humankind Centre

The final stop on the tour was to the Visitor Centre for the Cradle of Humankind.

The exhibits were very dramatic and high quality explanation of all of history from the formation of the Earth itself to the emergence of humans. The level of explanation was basic, but very nicely done.
There was an interesting timeline as you walked into the main hall.

A boat ride purporting to be about the four elements of water, air, fire and earth was a bit hokey, but fun in a way.

It was slightly rushed as we arrived only at 3 in time for a guided tour of the upper introductory hall, and left at 4:30 for the drive back, arriving home after 5:30.

All in all, a fantastic day!Read more
