Maropeng, the visitor centre for the Cradle of Humankind, is not only a place to learn and relax, it is also a place to celebrate the origins of humankind.

South Africa’s rich fossil heritage and the natural beauty of the Witwatersberg and Magaliesberg mountain ranges are reasons enough to dance and celebrate evolution.
