Peers Cave
Cape Town, ZAplace
About
Actually an overhang, this cave is named after Victor Peers, who, with his son Bertie, started excavating the site in 1927, collecting evidence of Khoe-San habitation dating back 10,000 years. The most dramatic find was an 11,000-year-old-skull; it’s thought this was an ancient burial site. Declared a National Monument in 1941, the cave, which is in Silvermine Nature Reserve, provides a dramatic viewpoint out across Noordhoek towards the sea.
