History of the Bothongo Wonder Cave:
The cave was discovered by Italian miners in 1898. They mined out approximately 15% from the formation and brought them to the surface. The formation consists of calcite which they placed in a self-built oven for 2 weeks at about 1100 degrees. This formed a powder which was taken by ox wagon to Pretoria & Johannesburg to make cement, toothpaste, use to extract gold, and the like. Mining was stopped in 1902 due to the outbreak of war and low productivity.
This is the 3rd largest chamber in South Africa, the largest being Cango Caves and the second largest Sudwala Caves.

It was a very nice day out. Enjoyed the caves, and all the animals. Recommended excursion. --as a side note, we had to move our reservation due to unforseen circumstances. Phoned the offices on a saturday. The lady helped us with no hassle. Really nice. - Willem

We.missed the time we paid for and we had to pay the driver alot of money to drive us around for nothing. Why do you list a wrong address on your website??
