Cradle Boutique Hotel is set to host “Music in the Jungle,” an extraordinary outdoor music and nature experience celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Cradle Boutique Hotel on Saturday, 17 October 2026.
Set within a spectacular 9,000-hectare nature reserve in the heart of the Cradle of Humankind, the event will bring together some of South Africa’s most exciting musical talent.

The highly anticipated line-up offers guests a diverse sonic journey spanning hip-hop, amapiano, Afro-house, R&B, soul, and contemporary African sounds. The stage will feature powerhouse performances from Sjava, Kabza De Small, Focalistic, Mörda, Langa Mavuso, Thatohatsi, Thando Zide, Kuli Chana, and Lamiez Holworthy.
Music In The Jungle: More Than a Music Festival
While the stellar lineup is undoubtedly a major draw, “Music in the Jungle” is designed to be a fully immersive experience that extends far beyond the stage. Guests are invited to escape the city and spend the day surrounded by spectacular landscapes.
Rather than a conventional urban festival environment, the vast natural landscape creates a unique meeting point between music and nature. Live performances, DJs, exceptional food, and premium hospitality will seamlessly transition the celebration from relaxed daytime sounds into an electric evening atmosphere.
A Decade Worth Celebrating
For ten years, the Cradle Boutique Hotel has welcomed guests to one of Gauteng’s most distinctive destinations. “Music in the Jungle” marks this major milestone by bringing together all the elements that make the venue special: music, culture, nature, food, hospitality, and community.
General Manager Wayne Fisher notes that the event is a very special way to celebrate 10 incredible years, aiming to create an experience that reflects the unique beauty and community spirit of the Cradle of Humankind. Guests are encouraged to come dressed for the jungle and ready for a full day of celebration.
