• Sterkfontein Cave - Begin your journey with a hotel pickup and head to Soweto. Discover the diverse social classes in Soweto (wealthy, middle class, and poor), visit the renowned large hospital in the Southern Hemisphere, and explore the extensive taxi rank in Soweto. Learn about Codesa, which was adopted in Soweto, and the Constitution adopted in Kliptown. Reflect on the Soweto Uprising where Hector Pieterson was the first child killed, and visit Regina Mundi Church, where students planned to gather. Explore the homes of Nobel laureates and the mother of South Africa, Winnie Madikizela Mandela. Enjoy lunch on the famous Vilakazi Street, known for its Nobel laureates.

Continue to the Cradle of Humankind in Gauteng Province, with a small extension into the neighboring North West Province, covering 47,000 hectares of mostly privately owned land. This site features a series of dolomitic limestone caves containing fossilized remains of ancient animals, plants, and most importantly, hominids. The dolomite, which formed the caves, originated as coral reefs in a warm shallow sea about 2.3 billion years ago. At Sterkfontein, embark on an underground cave tour and then drive to Maropeng, where a museum is set up for a comprehensive tour.

• Vilakazi Street - Visit the Nelson Mandela House, where he lived before his arrest in 1963. After 27 years of imprisonment, Nelson Mandela did not return to this house, as he had a new home in Johannesburg’s Houghton. Nearby, on the corner of Vilakazi Street, is the Soweto home of Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, another Nobel Peace Prize recipient, sharing the street with Mandela.

• Hector Pieterson Museum and Memorial - The guide will provide an overview outside the museum before leading you inside. On June 16, 1976, the police introduced a new education system, making Afrikaans the official language for instruction in schools. The students opposed this change and took to the streets in protest.

The Origin of Humanity This area encompasses a series of twelve dolomitic limestone caves that are home to fossilized remnants of prehistoric creatures, flora and crucially, early human ancestors.
