Oldupai Gorge Museum

Experiences You Can Have Only in Tanzania

Oldupai Gorge Museum

This area houses the most famous archeological location in East Africa, where hominid footprints preserved in volcanic rock represent some of the earliest signs of humankind in the world. The prehistoric footprint’s shape, length, and toes show that these hominids were bipedal and walked upright on two legs just as we do today, way before the use of stone tools. The museum, founded by Mary Leakey, is dedicated to the appreciation and understanding of the Oldupai Gorge and Laetoli fossil sites and has a hall solely dedicated to the Laetoli fossilized footprints.

 

Tours & Safaris

Tanzania is Africa’s visual masterpiece. It is a country of natural splendour, astounding wildlife, seductive beaches, charming ancient towns, archaeological sites and geological wonders. Africa’s highest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro, rises from lush, grassy plains and towers over the land. Its snow-capped peak is a sight to behold. Climbing Kilimanjaro is surprisingly easy and standing on the roof of Africa is a life-changing experience. The ideal bush and beach destination, visitors can witness the mighty herds of the Great Migration thundering across the Serengeti plains and end their unforgettable safari with a serene beach holiday on Zanzibar, the intoxicatingly beautiful and exotic Spice Island.
