The venue for this meeting is the outstanding Cradle Boutique Hotel: https://cradlehotel.co.za/.

It is less than a one-hour drive from Johannesburg OR Tambo airport (20 minutes from Lanseria domestic airport) and within a 2.5 hour drive of some terrific game parks and lodges (e.g., Pilanesberg, Welgevonden (Waterberg mountains), Madikwe, Mabula).

The Cradle Boutique Hotel is located within the Greater Cradle Nature Reserve. The privately owned 9000-hectare Unesco World Heritage Site close to Johannesburg is a unique ecotourism destination boasting two active sites still unearthing both hominid and animal fossils.

The Cradle of Humankind is a paleoanthropological site that is located about 50km (31mi) northwest of Johannesburg, in the Gauteng province. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999, the site is home to the largest known concentration of human ancestral remains anywhere in the world. The site currently occupies 47,000 hectares (120,000 acres) and contains a complex system of limestone caves.
