OLDUVAI GORGE
Delve into the home of human evolution at this World Heritage Site where the renowned palaeontologists, Louis and Mary Leakey, discovered remains of early hominids.

View the exhibits and photographs in Olduvai’s small museum and listen to an informative talk from a resident guide. Learn about their first discovery - the skull of Zinjanthropus or ‘nutcracker man’ - and subsequent unearthing of the remnants and relics of the ‘handy man’, Homo habilis and ‘upright man’, Homo erectus.

Picture the other wonders at this site of mankind’s first step on the ladder of human evolution. Allow your imagination to roam the savannah as it was millions of years ago; vast but not empty, with small hominids hunting among giant ostriches, huge horned sheep and prehistoric elephants.

BAGAMOYO
Behold Bagamoyo and its beautiful, natural harbor which sheltered the slaving dhows and other ships engaged in the nefarious trading of human beings.

Reflect on the town’s name, which is derived from bwagamoyo, meaning “here I throw down my heart”, revealing the desperation and despair of those shackled captives.

Witness the starting point of great searches for the source of the Nile. Livingstone, Stanley, Burton and Speke all passed through Bagamoyo; indeed, Livingstone’s body was laid to rest here before being taken back to England via Zanzibar.

Visit the house where Henry Morton Stanley once lived a century ago and which stands in solitary splendor on the beach. Bagamoyo was also the capital of German East Africa and you can make a stop at the Mission’s small museum to admire their wonderful collection of photographs and mementoes relating to Livingstone and to the German colonial times.

KILWA
Journey back in time at Kilwa, home to some of the most spectacular ruins on the East African Coast. Discover this group of three former settlements - Kilwa Kivinje and Kilwa Masoko on the mainland and the offshore island of Kilwa Kisiwani, where you can wander amongst astonishing ruins.

Take a trip across to the nearby Songo Mnara islands with their numerous vestiges and remains of ancient buildings, many dating back to the 13th century.

Take pleasure in the sights and memories of Kliwa (which was originally established as a centre for the gold trade and is now yet another of Tanzania’s World Heritage sites).

KONDOA ROCK PAINTINGS
Gaze at ancient artwork near the village of Kolo where some of the finest examples of rock paintings in the world are to be found and which are protected as a World Heritage site.

Drive to Kondoa, halfway between Arusha and Dodoma, and hike up the rocky outcrops to discover these extraordinary images, which depict the animals, customs and people of the old world.
