Being the official visitor centre of the Cradle of Humankind, Maropeng has the pleasure of catering to visitors of all kinds: local, national and international.

Recently Maropeng entertained some guests from Russia, and its staff made a special effort to make them feel comfortable and welcome, learning some Russian phrases and preparing Russian dishes in their honour. The guests stayed at the Maropeng Hotel and said they were eager to return in the future.
