  Oldupai Gorge 
  The Oldupai Gorge archaeological site is said to be the seat of humanity after the discovery of the earliest known specimen of the human genus, Homo-habilis, and early hominids, Paranthropus boisei. It is considered to be one of the most important prehistoric sites in the world and research there has helped in the study and understanding of the early human evolution. 
  
  Wildlife
  About 25,000 large animals, including black rhinoceros and hippopotamus, live in the crater. African buffalo or the Cape buffalo, the blue wildebeest, and Grant's Zebra are also seen in the area. Flamingos are very common at lakes in Ngorongoro. Walking safari and bird watching is encouraged in the park.

  About 200 years ago, the Massai people arrived and have colonised the area since then. Today, about 42,000 Massai people live in Ngorongoro along with their goats, sheep, cattle and donkeys. Visitors can visit two Masai cultural bomas. Visit the Maasai Cultural bomas and learn more about their unique culture. There is an entrance fee to be paid but it is absolutely worth it.

  The Great Migration not only brings massive numbers of zebras, wildebeests, and gazelles out for watching but also tempts in a lot of predators for hunting down the new-borns of the animals. One can also get to see enormous quantity of African Elephants in the Serengeti national park.

  The park catches the eye of a wide range of wildlife because of its number of multiple warm swamps and ecosystems, where hippos slumber, with many shelters from the Acacia trees together with palm trees, which make the best daytime home for leopards, and even substantial bumpy outcrops, that may be noticed covered with elephants, or maybe making the appropriate slumbering position for a self-importance of cubs, cheetah plus lions.
