Where humankind first walked, in the Cape
While more and more astounishing finds about our pre-human ancestors are coming out of the Cradle of Mankind near Johannesburg, the Southern and Western Cape coastlines offer up archeaological gems about our own past as humans.
Casts (the negative mould of the imprints) of footprints have been found in the ceilings and on walls of caves in sandstone deposits dating from around 90,000 years ago.
Visiting South Africa and the Cape should not be only about seeing the obvious. We like to show our guests some of the less obvious wonders and avoid the crowds.

Last year something 180 climbers/walkers had to be rescued from Table Mountain last year. This year started with the tragedy of two climbers and their guide falling, two fatally so, directly under the cable car.
People were stuck on top of the mountain all night while rescue attempts were undertaken in sight.
Just saying, take care up there. Take water, a warm top and NEVER take a path you are not sure of.
Table Mountain can be deadlier than Mt. Everest Two people fell to their death on Table Mountain on New Year's Day. It serves as another reminder that the the mountain can be incredibly dangerous.

While visitors and their children frolic in the Cape winelands at places such as Babylonstoren, Kanonkop Wine Estate, Dirtopia Bicycle Workshop and numerous other estates surrounding the Simonsberg, it is gratifying to know that wild leopards are still roaming free on the mountain above.
Update from The Cape Leopard Trust: This is a beautiful female leopard known as BF15 - aka Stella, who has been photographed a number of times on the Simonsberg since 2012.
Captured by one of our residents on on the farm at 5:05pm this evening 😲A beautiful leopard with a porcupine dinner!!!
