Cradle of Humankind

Getting Here and Around

Public transport to the Cradle of Humankind area is limited, so using a rental car or transfer with a tour company is best, and some hotels in the area arrange transport on request. The Cradle of Humankind is about a 90-minute drive northwest of Johannesburg and is relatively well signposted once you get off the N1 highway at the 14th Avenue off-ramp.
