The following Cultural Heritage Sites in South Africa are listed as per the year of inclusion by UNESCO:
Robben Island is an eloquent witness of a sombre history and a symbol of democracy and freedom over oppression. Here, Nelson Mandela, the 1st elected President of South Africa has served 18 years in prison. Today, it is home to the famous Robben Island Museum and a few remains of 17th-century quarries, dilapidated military structures of World War II, etc.
Recognised as the Cradle of Humankind, this undulating landscape is one of the richest concentrations of hominid fossils as old as 3.5 million years. It contains dolomitic limestone ridges, rocky outcrops and valley grasslands, bearing rare testimony of Australopithecine specimens.
This World Heritage Site in South Africa resonates with the rise and fall of the 1st indigenous kingdom, Mapungubwe (place of the stone of wisdom) State. It serves as evidence of the cultural and social interchange of human values and climate change. It is situated in the Mapungubwe National Park where the Limpopo and Shashe Rivers are meeting.
Did you know that the Cultural and Botanical Landscape of Richtersveld is in a desert? This makes it one of the most unique UNESCO Sites in South Africa. Its dramatic landscape represents the transhumance pastoral grazing of the Nama tribe for 2,000 years. Further, this indigenous community helps sustain and protect this extensive bio-diversity.
Its association with ethnobotany and !Ui-Taa languages illustrates a life and beliefs that are virtually extinct. What will astonish you is the adoption of innovative technologies by the nomadic tribe to thrive the extreme desert conditions. Learn more about their life through guided walks, local guides, the Living Museum, and local modes of transportation.
Listed as one of the Natural UNESCO World Heritage Sites in South Africa, the iSimangaliso Wetland Park is home to unadulterated marine, wetland, coastal, terrestrial and estuarine environments. It is a confluence of coral reefs, coastal dunes, extensive coastline, and more. Notable attractions are the 10 Jewels, including Coastal Forest, False Bay and many more.

Alternatively, you can opt for adventurous activities like river tubing, mountain biking, river rafting and many more.
The latest in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in South Africa is the best-preserved sequence of volcanic and sedimentary rocks, dating back 3.2 to 3.6 billion years.
