Sterkfontein Heritage Lodge - Accommodation in Krugersdorp, Gauteng, South Africa

Just off the long hill that climbs up to Krugersdorp from the direction of Pretoria is a thatched safari lodge - formerly the Hattingh family's country home built in the 1940's. It stands back a deep krantz affording one of the finest views in Gauteng, the panorama of the Sterkfontein valley and the Magaliesberg beyond. The valley has emerged as the world's most important "dawn man" fossil site - the place where apemen evolved into humans. Its labyrinthine caves yielded more fossils of apemen and early humans than the rest of the world combined. Recently there was an international interest when the first complete apeman skeleton was exposed there and, at Driemolen, the most complete apeman skull so far. Sterkfontein Heritage Lodge with its rustic charm and deep thatch was an African farm homestead - the country home of the Hattingh family for half a century- before it was converted into a country lodge. The lodge maintains the ambience of its remote days of the 1940's boasting that which African lifestyle has become famed for.
