The Marais family are owners and directors of Forum Homini. Their combined passion for business, art, culinary pursuits and the evolution of man is the inspiration behind this exciting development. With their vast experience of owning and managing companies in retail, wholesale and manufacturing, they're well-placed to expand their knowledge to tourism and hospitality. "The idea of a five star Hotel has always been on my list of 1000 things I'd like to do before I die," says Chairman, Hendrik Marais, "..and so when the opportunity came to build a Hotel in The Cradle of Humankind, all the pieces seemed to fall into place. Of course, with the upgrade of Sterkfontein and Blue IQ's futuristic Interpretation Centre opening this year; the timing is perfect"

Hendrik expands further, "Forum Homini is not in your face, it's not a theme park or a museum. It's a six star 'think park!' A place where you can relax, dine, and stay in superb luxury: be near nature and be infused with the story of humankind. Contemplate and meditate; enjoy talking to like minded people knowing you're exactly at the spot on earth where it all happened!"

Management of the Hotel comes highly recommended. All have a common goal in mind - excellent service to the patrons of Forum Homini hotel & roots restaurant. "Staff turnover is low," says Hendrik. "We have transparency - because all management and staff have an open door policy to myself and participate in weekly meetings and strategy sessions."
