Overview
About Olduvai Gorge
Olduvai Gorge in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is one of the most important paleoanthropological sites on Earth. The gorge has yielded fossils of some of our earliest ancestors — including Homo habilis, Australopithecus boisei and early Homo sapiens — dating back over 1.8 million years. A small museum near the gorge rim provides context, and active excavation sites can be viewed with a guide. The gorge is usually visited as part of a Ngorongoro itinerary.
