Olduvai Gorge

Olduvai Gorge

The cradle of humankind, on the road to the Serengeti.

A steep ravine in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area where the Leakey family's discoveries transformed the study of human origins.

Olduvai lies just off the main road between the crater and the Serengeti, making it an easy stop of about an hour.
