Visit Olduvai Gorge with a paleoanthropologist -cradle of humankind, where Louis and Mary Leakey unearthed the first Homo habilis and Australopithecus boisei skulls. Learn from local Maasai people who welcome you to their village and help you understand their culture and traditions. Witness the profusion of wildlife that reflects the diversity of habitats found in Ngorongoro Crater: savannas, forests, marshlands, salt pans and a freshwater lake. With abundant grass and a permanent water supply, the crater supports herds of grazing animals that, in turn, attract lion, leopard and cheetah.
