Olduvai Gorge

Olduvai Gorge is a 48-kilometre ravine cutting through the eastern Serengeti plain that has yielded some of the most important hominin fossils ever discovered, including Australopithecus boisei and Homo habilis specimens excavated by Louis and Mary Leakey. The small on-site museum contextualises several million years of evolutionary and technological development represented in the exposed geological strata. The gorge sits adjacent to Ngorongoro Conservation Area and is typically visited en route between Ngorongoro and the Serengeti.
