The drive through the Cradle of Humankind was excellent and our driver, Jason was very knowledgeable. Maropeng Exhibition Center was also very interesting and definitely worth the trip (we did go on a Sunday but were warned to avoid school days as the center is packed with children then). The only issue was the caves were closed and apparently had been for quite awhile.
