Apart from the amazing beaches, wild life and natural beauty South Africa also over tourists unique experiences in the form of World Heritage Sites.

South Africa boasts numerous World Heritage Sites, including Robben Island and the Cradle of Humankind.

The lesser-known, yet fascinating Vredefort Dome, situated just 120kms south of Johannesburg, near Parys, was declared a World Heritage Site in 2005. According to the UNESCO website, the Vredefort Dome is the oldest discovered astrobleme (a structure created by large meteorite impact), dating back more than two million years. Spanning 190 kilometres, it’s also the world’s largest impact site.

According to UNESCO, the Vredefort Dome is unique in that “it is the only example to provide a full geological profile of an astrobleme below the crater floor”, which makes it a vital link to understanding the earth’s evolution and geology. Parts of the Dome are open to the public.
