A perfect way to spend half a day out in the caves if you have an interest in learning the history of humanity's origins. We are a team that creates memorable experiences for every group we host. Our start times (airport or hotel pickup time) are flexible based on your travel schedule & the site closing times. We use luxury air-conditioned sedans and minivans based on group/family size. Live commentary on the way to and from about the city of Johannesburg is provided so feel free to ask questions on any topic from politics to restaurant recommendations. Should you wish to be dropped off at a different hotel, apartment or mall, this may be arranged so please inquire before the day of the trip.

    Part 1 of the tour starts at The Sterkfontein Caves which are world-famous for their fossil finds and are a popular visitor destination. After an extensive facelift in 2005, the Sterkfontein Caves site offers easy access to the caves with modern walkways and a boardwalk past the excavation site where globally acclaimed fossils have been discovered. The most notable discoveries in the caves, including the world-famous fossils of Mrs Ples and Little Foot, the latter being an almost complete Australopithecus skeleton dating back more than three million years. A guided walk through the caves under 50 minutes will definitely showcase scientific proof of research on humanity and our origins. This walk will NOT be suitable for individuals who struggle to walk, have breathing problems or claustrophobic.

I met Jacob through my concierge at the Four Seasons Hotel Westcliff. I was unsure of what to do during my trip to South Africa. Originally i only planned to explore Johannesburg one day and relax all the rest, but after the first day with Jacob, I knew i needed to plan more. Jacob made booking this excursion a breeze! Especially last minute. It was an incredible experience.I would definitely recommend!
