3-Day Olduvai Gorge Cradle of Mankind Safari

3 Days Olduvai Gorge, Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania Abakombe Tours and Safaris 5.0/5 from 1 review

Overview

A trip centered on Olduvai Gorge, often called the 'Cradle of Mankind,' where Mary and Louis Leakey's excavations uncovered some of the earliest evidence of human ancestry, paired with a Ngorongoro Crater safari.

Olduvai Gorge is one of the most important paleoanthropological sites on Earth, where fossil discoveries dating back nearly 2 million years reshaped scientific understanding of human origins. This itinerary treats it as a genuine destination in its own right rather than a brief roadside stop, combined with the wildlife of the nearby Ngorongoro Crater.

Migration Serengeti Safari provided a wonderful safari tour. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, the trip was well organized, and the Serengeti experience was amazing. I would recommend this company to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.
