Olduvai Gorge Museum

We stopped here on our way to Serengeti National Park. The exhibits were well prepared and the facilities were nice after a long drive. We did a walk down into the gorge to see where the fossils and bones were found starting in the 1950's. The walk was nice for the exercise, but there was really nothing to except a post marking the site. We ate our lunch in the shady gathering area and enjoyed the view from the pavilion. Probably worth a stop just to break up the drive.

Amazon museum that's well worth a visit. The views of the Olduvai Gorge are stunning and very rare to see such a high vantage point with the canyon valley below. The museum itself is very informative and setup well with lots of artifacts, English descriptions and quick wi-fi as well. It's a great spot to finish lunch as well.

A Must stop if you are heading towards the Serengeti National Park! Blow my mind on the history of early man! I’ve been reading about the Leakey’s and their work and research my whole life. When my safari driver told me we were stopping by a museum on the way to Serengeti I thought to myself, I want to see wildlife! What kind of a museum is out in the middle of Africa? What an unexpected and pleasant surprise to visit Olduvai! Don’t miss it on the way to Serengeti!

Perfect place for archeology and palaeontology. It is right at the site where most of its discoveries was done. You can get books too on site. Staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. Washrooms super clean. There's so much history to learn here.

A place that carries a living history of humankind. Great to meet experts who will teach you about the discovery of earliest human remains, seeing the places where prominent elites i.e Leakey family, settled to conduct their researches in the Oldupai Gorge. Suzzie in the photo, is one of the best narrators who can make you feel you're at the time of discoveries in the Oldupai Gorge... 🤗🤗 Worth to pay a visit as you drive to Serengeti national park.

As Tour operators for Safari in Tanzania we tend to stop always if you heading towards the Serengeti National Park, shifting sand etc …Tanzania has the history of early man, if you read about Leakey’s work you will be mesmerised . Don’t miss a picture Moment ..Olduvai Gorge Museum! It’s not not wild animals! Don’t miss it on the way to Serengeti!

Nice museum, makes you think where you come from, and how we dismiss our roots. We have to acknowledge that Africa was tge birthplace of humankind l.

This facility is very, very well done. The displays are sequenced logically to effectively demonstrate human development over the millennia at this and other rift locals. Displays are well written and easily understandable to non-archeologists. The progressive displays show not only skeletal development but also tool and cultural changes over time. They also include well done presentations demonstrating the effects of geological events on the development of humans in the area. Even if you do not believe in human development/evolution there is a lot of info to be gleaned from the facility. The staff is very knowledgeable and well trained. You are permitted to hike into the gorge for a closer look but the view from the amphitheater is amazing if you choose not to hike.
