Why should I choose Palaeo Tours to visit the “Cradle of Humankind” rather than another tour company?
• Palaeo Tours is conducted by scientists. All our tour guides have a minimum of at least a Master’s degree in either Archaeology or Palaeo-Anthropology. Our guides are either in possession of a PhD or in the process of completing their doctoral degrees. The majority of the other tour companies only visit the site of Sterkfontein where local guides conduct your tour. Most of these guides do not have the breadth of academic background that all of the Palaeo Tours guides are required to have. Your experience will therefore be enriched by scientific and professional knowledge which encompasses all the fields related to Palaeo-Anthropology (e.g. Archaeology, Palaeontology and Geology to mention just a few). Furthermore, Palaeo Tours visits the private fossil site of Drimolen where you get to see the actual fossil deposits which are off-limits and behind a fence at Sterkfontein. Drimolen is being actively excavated during the week which will allow you to see an excavation in progress.
