The Cradle of Humankind has become one of Johannesburg biggest attractions. Its unbelievable that the oldest human fossil in the world and fossils of 2 million years old are still been found to this day.
We have put together a comprehensive day at the Cradle of Humankind that includes a visit to the Lion And Rhino Park. A wild game drive is always a good way to start or end an African experience. The tour is fun and relaxed. Everything can be adjusted to suit your requirements and schedule.
Cradle of humankind has more Australopithecus fossils than anywhere else in the world," said geologist and geophysicist Darryl Granger of Purdue University.
Now, new dating techniques suggest that the remains date back nearly 4 million years – making them even older than the famous Australopithecus afarensis individual Dinkinesh, nicknamed Lucy.
Multiple ancient hominin remains from caves in South Africa may be much, much older than previous estimates suggested.

Maropeng was interesting but seemed more geared toward kids than adults. The lion park was amazing. I got some great photos and videos. Seeing the white lions up close was scary and beautiful.

Shane was fantastic. We had an extra day in Johannesburg before going to Kruger National Park so we booked this tour. Very informative and gave us a great taster of Johannesburg. Highly recommended!

Shane is a people person! We got along great immediately. He is an encyclopedia of knowledge regarding South Africa, the geology, and the local wildlife. We spent as much time at the museum as we wanted. While at the Lion Park, Shane ensured we saw all of the animals & got us amazing, up -close views. I can’t wait to share my videos & pics with my friends & family. The tour was personalized just for my husband & myself & we couldn’t have been happier. I take various tours all over the world & this is by far one of the best! It’s obvious when someone loves what they do, don’t hesitate, choose Shane!

Shane drove us from our Johannesburg Hotel to see the Cradle of Humankind, where we learned about the hominid fossils found in the region and the Rhino and Lion Park, where we saw lions, cheetahs and wild dogs very close-up. The carnivores were fed at 1:00 pm on Sunday, and Shane knew just where to park to have a front-row seat!
Shane provided excellent conversation during our drive, discussing South African history and his interests in cycling, hiking, and other athletic activities. He was everything you would want a guide to be. We learned a lot and felt well cared for every step along the way.

We absolutely loved Shane. We had a perfect day with him. He is super knowledgeable and has a fun personality. The Lion Park was awesome and Shane knew the folks that worked there and the spots the animals often were. We highly recommend this tour, we wouldn’t have changed a thing.
