Short visit of Pretoria (South Africa)
(EN) Pretoria is a city in the northern part of Gauteng Province, South Africa. It is one of the country's three capital cities, serving as the executive (administrative) and de facto national capital; the others are Cape Town, the legislative capital, and Bloemfontein, the judicial capital. Pretoria is sometimes regarded as being divided into three sections: West, East and north, relative to the CBD. Pretoria is contained within the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality as one of several constituent former administrations (among which also Centurion and Soshanguve). Pretoria itself is sometimes referred to as Tshwane due to a long-running and controversial proposed change of name, which has yet to be decided, as of 2012.

Swartkrans Cave - The Cradle of Humankind
One of South Africa's most famous sites for fossil discoveries, the Sterkfontein Caves, are a popular tourist destination. At only an hour's drive from Johannesburg and Pretoria, the facility also offers visitors an excellent exhibition tour.
The Sterkfontein Caves are owned by the University of the Witwatersrand, whose scientists have been responsible for the main excavations of the World Heritage Site. They are credited with many of the famous discoveries including the world famous Mrs Ples and Little Foot, an almost complete Australopithecine skeleton dating back 2.15-million years.
The tours start above ground and then take visitors down into the caves, finishing off along the boardwalk past the excavation site. The caves are open Monday to Sunday from 09h00 to 17h00 and the last tour departs at 16h00.
No exploration of the Sterkfontein Caves is complete without a visit to the Maropeng Visitor Centre, where the whole story of the fossil finds and the evolution of man is presented in beautiful displays and exhibitions. There is no need to rush home - spend a night at the beautiful Maropeng Boutique Hotel, only 10 minutes away from the Visitors centre!
