Loved this place but I was disappointed that I only got to stay there for an hour or so. It was part of a tour and this was the only time they allowed so I felt like I missed out on seeing so much. Full review by Aussie_Binturong

This was a 45 minute drive from the Montecasino, Sandton area. Watch out for GPS error on entrance and follow the signs to Maropeng (Brown signage) for correct entrance! We arrived at 10.45am and we… Full review by Jimmish

Q:
I Shall be landind at 7:30 at OR Tambo airport. First off, is there any tour featuring airport pick up? If not, will there be enough time to take the Gautrain to Rosebank, check in at the hotel and be picked up afterwards? Is there any substantial difference between the half day and full day tour? Thanks for taking your time to read my inquiry. All the best.

Q:
We are traveling up to Bela Bela later that day and will be doing the Ann Van Dyk Cheetah tour in the morning. Can you tell me how long each portion of the tour is and what you would most recommend? As we are travelling in early June, what time does it begin to get dark? With a 2 1/2 hour drive to from Magaliesburg to Bela Bela, I want to ensure that we avoid driving at night. Thanks in advance Vicki
A:
I think two hours for the tour is correct but you can easily spend another hour in the great museum and exhibit which puts everything into perspective. We were there for three hours.
Q:
Hi, could you tell me how many hours you need to spend to see everything, thank you
A:
Two would be good.
Q:
How much time should we allocate to the visit?
A:
I would agree with the earlier answer. Our visit to view the exhibition and the caves took between 3 and 4 hours.
