Cradle of Humankind and Apartheid Museum tour — Cultural & heritage things to do in Pretoria

Full-day tour — explore the Apartheid Museum and Sterkfontein Caves, including fossils like Mrs. Ples, with a chronological presentation of South Africa's history.

This full-day tour takes you from Pretoria to two significant historical sites. Begin at the Apartheid Museum, where entry cards assign a racial classification, setting the tone for your exploration. The extensive exhibits chronologically cover the struggle against apartheid, featuring key figures such as Nelson Mandela and Steve Biko, and provide insights into the brutality, resistance, and the evolution towards democracy.

After the museum, you'll visit the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site and Sterkfontein Caves, known for major hominid discoveries. Walk into the cool caves and see the fossil remains of Mrs. Ples and Little Foot. The day provides a profound understanding of South Africa's past, complemented by powerful audiovisual displays. It's advisable to wear comfortable shoes as much of the tour involves walking.
