MALAPA FOSSIL TOUR ADVENTURE
This special tour takes you to the Cradle Boutique Hotel where you will go on an open vehicle game drive through the beautiful John Nash and Malapa Nature Reserves to the Malapa site and Gladysvale cave which are two famous fossil digs.
This Malapa tour is the only tour to have exclusive rights to view these two world renown fossil digs.
From Death Traps and Bone Collectors to streams that disappear into vast underground lakes, and rock eating termites with magnesium mandibles. Experience all of this and more on the thrilling Malapa
Two world famous sites — Gladysvale and Malapa — are key attractions visited on this tour. They are situated within the John Nash and Malapa Nature Reserves which comprise the core of the UNESCO-designated Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site. The Malapa Tour is the only private guided tour designated to conduct exclusive fossil tours to these two famous dig sites.
Together the reserves are almost 9,000 hectares in extent and they protect some of the largest and most pristine areas of the high altitude dolomitic grasslands — which are second only to the Cape Floral Kingdom (Fynbos) in terms of floral diversity. This protected area is also home to the leopard, brown hyaena and antelope, like the magnificent eland, blesbok, kudu, blue wildebeest and red hartebeest. Amazingly, all of this is within sight of the second largest urban area on the African continent!
The area is an ancient landscape, a truly ancient geology protecting and slowly revealing the ancient origins of the human race.
Included are guide fees, toll fees, fuel, mineral water and all entries.
Excluded: Gratuities and lunch.
