We thoroughly enjoyed the ride in the Hartbeespoort Aerial Cableway to a Johannesburg City overlook, with viewpoints from the Magaliesberg Mountain . We purchased our own lunches at the top, which were delicious burgers, and ate while a musician played 80's tunes nearby. It was on a weekend, and we loved seeing the locals there on family picnics and relaxing.
The Cradle of Human Kind Museum, Maropeng visiting center, was excellent! Beautifully demonstrating the development of mankind through the ages, it included a short boat ride. So full of information, life sized replicas of early humans, and hands on exhibits. Their tour guide explained the history prior to going around to explore on our own. Highly recommend!
Due to flooding, our tour of the Sterkfontein Caves was cancelled, which gave us extra time in the venues. Our driver, Paul, gave us much history and information about the area.
