Aspire Lounge

Reviewed By ginsengNewYork

Surprisingly one of the best lounges I experienced! Elegant and peaceful, with a very good selection of seating - tables & chairs, high bar areas & stools, big comfy sofas with low tables, single comfy seats, even a "sleeping" area in the back with soft light, comfortable lounger-style chairs, footrests and blankets. Whether you want to sleep or to chat with friends, you can find an appropriate area. Lots of charge points and good wifi. Showers are luxurious and so clean. Food was good as well, with diversity (bobotie, chicken curry with basmati rice, beets salad, butternut salad,cheeses, fruits, etc, etc. It's nice to be able to have dinner before getting on a transatlantic night flight; that way, you go right to sleep after boarding. Bar is wonderful as well. Service is excellent, attentive without being intrusive, and very mindful of your flight time. I had forgotten to mail my postcards so they did it for me! We were not expecting this in Tambo aiport, but were glad to find it. In fact, after reading negative reviews on Tambo airport, we were positively surprised by its cleanliness and good facilities: they even have a luggage storage facility called "A-Teck Aiport Service" 0113902318. Our suitcases stayed there safely for 10 days while we traveled to the Seychelles. Yes, you have to be weary in Tambo because there are, as elsewhere, pickpockets: the day we arrived, an older man with a suit insisted on helping us find the rental cars counter, and grabbed my luggage cart. 2mn later, I caught him with his hand in my bag... Apart from that petty incident, Tambo was great!

Maropeng Visitor Centre

It is now a universally accepted fact that it is the Continent of Africa that is the birthplace of our human species. This is the place where our collective umbilical cord lies buried – in the soil of this great continent. Nowhere else on Earth does there exist such definitive and conclusive proof of our common origin as a species and thus of our common destiny. The Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999.This site holds global significance as it contains a superbly preserved record of the various stages in the evolution of humankind over 3.5 million years. Maropeng – The Official Visitor Center to The Cradle Of Humankind and the Sterkfontein Caves provides a dual interactive tour experience. Maropeng’s portfolio includes a four star boutique hotel; a gastronomy inspired menu offering; large conference facilities and a green educational facility which offers dormitory style accommodation and is perfect for overnight visits.
