 DESCRIPTION & LOCATION / ABOUT US

Maropeng is located only 45 minutes from Johannesburg and Pretoria in the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site. Maropeng, meaning ‘returning to the place of our origins’ in Setswana, is located in the Cradle of Humankind, one of South Africa’s first World Heritage Sites. It encompasses 13 Fossil Hominid sites which have yielded some of the most valuable evidence of the origins of humankind ever found, including the renowned Mrs Ples, the first complete skull of the Australopithecus genus to be discovered and estimated to be over 2-million years old.

The facilities at Maropeng include a 24-bedroom 4-star hotel, conference facilities for up to 500 delegates and a world-class underground visitor centre which showcases the Cradle of Humankind and promotes a consciousness of preserving our natural heritage for future generations.

 FACILITIES / WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER

The visitor centre at Maropeng showcases the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site and the unprecedented quantity of hominid fossils discovered in this area. A boat ride takes visitors through the life-giving elements of water, ice, earth and fire and thereafter interactive displays provide an understanding of the unique characteristics of modern humankind and impart a multitude of intriguing facts about the human population. The visitor centre is open daily from 9am to 5pm, and the last boat ride departs at 4pm.
