Oldupai Gorge or Olduvai as they call it in the history books, is one of the most important historical sites in the world, having given us an understanding of the oldest inhabitants ever to have walked this earth. Approximately 1.9 million years agao and Homo habilis inhabited this area, so too a Pranthropus boisei 1.8 million years ago and a Homo erectus 1.2 million years ago. Homosapiens, by contrast, are dated to have occupied the site only 17,000 years ago.
The gorge is a deep ravine in the Great Rift Valley in the eastern Serengeti Plains, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and about 48km (30 miles) in length.
45km away lies another important archeological site known as the Laetoliarchaelogical site, which is significant for showing increased developmental and social abilities in hominins. An example of this is their use of stone tools, indicating the developed cognitive abilities, and the practice of both scavenging and hunting highlighed by the gnaw marks predating cut marks, and the meat versus plant amounts in their early diet. There is also evidence of increases in social interaction and communal activity.
The Olduvai Museum is a must-see when travelling through this are. Unusual lizards and birds can also been enjoyed while visitors are engrossed in the local historian lectures.
