The Cradle of Mankind and Surrounds








With the holiday season virtually at an end we decided to take a drive out towards the Cradle of Mankind and then on towards Groot Marico in the North West Province.  Due to all the rain we have been having it is a garden of Eden of rolling green hills and meadows that go on for miles.
