Day 1

Day Tour Olduvai Gorge

Today, en route from Ngorongoro Crater to the Serengeti, you’ll encounter a remarkable landmark: Olduvai Gorge, renowned as one of the world’s most significant paleoanthropological sites. Emerging from the entrance gate, you’ll step into an ancient realm steeped in history. This gorge was unveiled when the drying of an alkaline lake, a consequence of the powerful forces of the Great Rift and volcanic activity, revealed ancient human and extinct animal remains. In 1959, archaeologist Mary Leakey unearthed a skull fragment belonging to an early hominin, later named Zinjanthropus boisei by her husband, Louis Leakey. Affectionately dubbed “Nutcracker Man” due to its massive molars indicative of a herbivorous diet, this discovery stands as one of the earliest traces of modern humans. Your visit promises profound insights into our evolutionary journey.
