Cradle of Humankind Private Tour and Safari

Our journey begins in South Africa, where fossils of some of the earliest known life forms on Earth have been found. South Africa has yielded fossils of some of the earliest known dinosaurs, dating back at least 200 million years. Fossils of our distant mammal-like ancestors, who lived more than 200 million years ago, have also been found in South Africa. Africa is the birthplace of humankind. This is where our collective umbilical cord lies buried. Hominids, the ancestors of modern humans, first emerged about seven million years ago in Africa. Many significant fossil finds have been made in the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site, including the famous fossils "Mrs. Ples" and "Little Foot". The first stone tools were made and used in Africa at least 2.6 million years ago. Africa ignited humankind’s imagination. After the Cradle of Humanity, you will be doing a mini safari.
