The Caves at Sterkfontein

This is the area they also call the cradle of civilization, where they found Mrs. Ples one of the oldest ~ 2 million years in the region and perhaps a distant relative of ours. Funny thing is they recently found out it is actually a young boy but the kept the name Mrs. Ples.
This was my third visit and Steph's first! The tour guides are well versed and make the trip worth it!
Here we start our descent...about ninety some stairs down and then about one hudred and twenty up. Also some very narrow passages you have to get through, either by squatting or crawling. Not for those who don't feel comfortable in tight spaces.
Also did not take any pictures inaside as I tried the two other times and it is just too dark, you need a proper camera. After about an hour we finished and then we were heading over to the Lion & Rhino Park!!

  1. If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay at home. Cheap flights to Durban
