Kromdraai is a protected conservancy in western Gauteng, South Africa not far from Krugersdorp. Its name is derived from Afrikaans meaning "Crooked Turn" after a kink in the meandering Crocodile River.
A well known fossil site is also named Kromdraai and it, along with such sites as Sterkfontein, Coopers, Swartkrans and Plovers Lake form part of the conservancy.
Part of the Kromdraai conservancy also falls within the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site, proclaimed by UNESCO in 1998.
