360° views of Sterkfontein Caves
In the bowels of the Sterkfontein Caves at the Cradle of Humankind, many answers to questions on the evolution of humankind have been revealed; but still buried in these caves, one of the richest fossil sites in the world, untold secrets wait to be uncovered.
These 360° interactive images consist of a number of individual photos stitched together. As you navigate them you can click on certain areas to view the images in more detail. The images were created by South African photographer John Gore and are viewable online at 360 South Africa Virtual Tour Photography.
For those who want a more in-depth tour of the caves, the Bone Detectives tour is ideal. The tour investigates the seven-million-year evolution of Homo sapiens through an analysis of the fossils found in the area.
Afterwards take a guided walk through the Sterkfontein Caves, where you will be able to appreciate cave formations, and the complexities of fossil discovery.
The morning finishes with a picnic-style lunch, allowing you time to digest the superb views over the rolling hills of our birthplace.
