LUXURY SAFARIS & PALAEO TRAVEL TO SOUTHERN AFRICA

With our BESPOKE leisure travel expertise & personalized services
Safari Odyssey will create your most memorable Authenitcally African experience ever

The 2024 Hominid Fossil Dig at the Cradle Of Humankind was the perfect platform for our Recreational Palaeontologist’s to enjoy hands-on participation at South Africa’s flagship sites of Kromdraai and Sterkfontein.  Led by Prof José Braga, Dr Bernhard Zipfel and Prof Matt Caruana, their incredible in-depth knowledge of these sites and cave systems proved invaluable.
The Dig proved to be an info-packed, professionally delivered crash-course!  A bird’s eye view of the intricacies of fossil finding and processing.
Our guests experienced the thrill of real-time fossil excavations together with the excitement of finding micro-fauna fossils through to bovine bones, elephant tusk, sabre tooth fossils and also got to watch excavations that are on going on a site that hosts both australipithicus as well as paranthropis fossils (dated 2.3 – 1.9 million years back). As for lab work, the group participated in finer excavations and air-scribing.  This is a novice opportunity open to anyone wishing to experience the thrill of fossil finding.
