Situated inside the Bothongo Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve the Wonder Caves are a site to behold and are our first stop into this fully packed day tour.
The Wonder Caves are said to have been discovered by Italian miners in 1898 where they mined out approximately 15% from the formation and brought them to the surface.
Mining was stopped in 1902 due to the outbreak of war and low productivity.
