We welcome back our travelers from September 2018's
inaugural "Human Origins in South Africa," with rave reviews!
"The large cave at Capetown...going down the 200 steps into a time warp of thousands of years ago to where our early humans lived and thrived for a time...To see actual human artifacts still clinging in situ in the cave wall exactly where they were left ages before, was thrilling."
- Dora, West Virginia
"
The special access we got to places (e.g. Rising Star cave) & people (Berger, Clarke, curators in museums) was a highlight of the tour. I went for the human origins & [Dr. Ian] Tattersall, but the game reserve was a wonderful bonus.
"
