History and cultural tourist guide based in Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa. Since 2015, I have been working as a freelance tour guide for many tour companies, taking independent travelers and groups on tours around Johannesburg and nearby provinces. It's very exciting to work in the biggest city of South Africa as a tour guide and tour operator. Johannesburg is a Capital of history & Culture in South Africa, since its independence in 1994 as a democratic country. I have qualified as a tourist guide in 2017 and all these years I have become highly specialized in my area, offering a wide range of products. Private tailor-made history and cultural tours together with unique educational, and wild-life experiences. I also provided tickets for the festivals, concerts, and sports Seasons for travelers who visit South Africa for events. As a tourist guide, I'm responsible for implementing enhanced health and safety measures in line with South African travel protocols. These protocols have been developed to optimize recovery efforts by rebuilding confidence among travelers and ensuring a coordinated approach of the global travel & tourism post-COVID19.

As we are aware that Africa is the birthplace of humankind, so I welcome you home. This is where our journeys began as the Homo sapiens species to which we all belong. Come with me when I take you through some of the fossils of our distant mammal-like ancestors, which lived more than 200-million years ago, that have been found in the Cradle of Humankind. Did you know that Hominids - the ancestors of modern humans - first emerged about seven million years ago, in Africa? So welcome to the place of origins. Let me take you through the important find of Mrs. Ples, One of the world's most famous fossil skulls to have discovered at Sterkfontein caves. Its scientific name is Australopithecus africanus, and it's extremely significant because scientists believe it to be a distant relative of all humankind. There's no doubt that this evidence demonstrated that Africa is the continent from which all humanity originated. That's why the information that emerged from this world heritage site makes us call it home.
