Day 2
Cradle of Humankind

The Cradle of Humankind, a World Heritage Site located about 30 miles northwest of Johannesburg, is one of the world’s richest collections of sites bearing fossilized hominid remains. In this 181-square-mile area dominated by limestone caves, many famous and important fossils have been discovered over the years, including the 2.3-million year-old Australopithecus africanus, found in 1947, and an entirely new hominid species, Australopithecus sediba, just recently unearthed in April 2010. Your full day excursion includes an exploration of the site and the fascinating, state-of-the-art Visitor Interpretation Centre at Maropeng.

Day 3
Soweto and the Apartheid Museum

In the culturally rich township of Soweto, practically synonymous with the African struggle for freedom, visit many important sites, including Mandela House and Freedom Square. At the Apartheid Museum, with its exhibits chronicling the story of 20th century apartheid, gain insights into this turbulent period in South Africa’s history. At the end of the day, transfer to the airport for flight home or on to your safari.
