I played a sea view golf at the Cradle of Humankind in South Africa

South Africa's Point of Human Origins is not only the cradle of human civilization but also an incredibly beautiful hidden gem. According to the official website, the Pinnacle Point Site Complex was designated as a provincial heritage site in 2012 and was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List on July 26, 2024. However, I think the truly fascinating caves that contain early Homo sapiens' tools and symbols are not open to the public. The cave that visitors can enter is relatively plain, but the scenery is breathtaking. The hiking experience complements the golfing leisure. Highlights 1️⃣ Cliff Golf On the cliff, you can see foreign friends swinging their golf clubs ⛳️, with the Atlantic Ocean 🌊 in the background. Even if you don't play golf, you can enjoy coffee ☕️ on the club's terrace, basking in the warm afternoon sun ☀️. 2️⃣ Gourmet and Scenery The terrace restaurant offers steak 🥩, seafood 🦞, and wine 🍷 at prices much lower than in China. You can enjoy the delicious food while watching the sunset 🌇, as if you were in a painting. 3️⃣ Cave Exploration It takes a 30-minute to 1-hour hike to enter the human origins cave 🕳️. Although the prehistoric relics are plain, the experience feels like time travel ⏳. The tour guide gives a thorough explanation 🎤 throughout the journey. However, the English is heavily accented and full of technical terms. Even with an IELTS score of 8, you might only understand half of it 😅. Booking and Tips Booking Entry: You need to book in advance through Instagram, Facebook, or WhatsApp 📱 (it's recommended to book at least one day in advance). The payment link will be sent through the platform 💳. Scheduling: It's suggested to visit at noon. After the cave tour, you can return to the club just in time for the beautiful afternoon sun ☀️. Dress Code: For the hike up 200 wooden stairs and along the boardwalk, wear comfortable outdoor clothing and sports shoes 👟. Tour Options 1️⃣ EXPERIENCE WITH DR NILSSEN Join archaeologist Dr Nilssen 👨‍🔬 to experience the mystery of the Middle Stone Age site. 2️⃣ CAVE TOURS Take a 60–90-minute cave tour led by a professional guide (adults R300, children discounted). It's suitable for those who are physically fit and love exploring (this is the option I chose 👍). 3️⃣ POINT TO POINT Combine cave visits with a 9-kilometer coastal hike (about 3.5–4.5 hours). There's a picnic 🍔 along the way, and transportation is provided. It's perfect for a full-day outdoor adventure. The price needs to be inquired 💰. South Africa is not only home to wild animals 🐘 but also integrates sea views ⛳️, prehistoric relics 🕳️, and outdoor adventures 🏞️. It's a travel experience that combines relaxation and adventure, definitely worth collecting and trying 🔥! #SouthAfricaTravel #SouthAfricanVisa #LesserKnownTravelDestinations #GardenRoute #RoadTrip
