South Africa’s Cradle of Humankind caves reopen to the public with a new experience for tourists.
The Sterkfontein cave system, which includes the famous “Dragons Cave,” reopens on February 14. South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA) and the University of the Witwatersrand have partnered to provide a unique and educational experience to visitors. The project is part of an effort to develop tourism in Gauteng.
“With this project, SAHRA aims to create a tourist attraction that can be enjoyed by all, regardless of age or fitness level,” says Dr. Amanda Esterhuysen, executive director of SAHRA. “The educational component will allow visitors to engage with the history and significance of these sites in a way that is both accessible and informative.”
Visitors to the caves will have the opportunity to learn about the geological formations and human evolution through interactive displays and guided tours. The experience also includes a visit to the Maropeng visitor center, which tells the story of humanity’s development.
South Africa’s Cradle of Humankind is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important sites for paleoanthropological discoveries. In 1925, the first hominin fossil was discovered in the caves by Dr. Raymond Dart. Since then, several more important finds have been made in the area.
The Sterkfontein cave system will be open to visitors every day from 9 am to 4 pm. Tickets can be purchased online or at the gate. The price for adults is R190 (approximately $12), and the price for students and seniors is R120 (approximately $8). Children under the age of 18 are free.
