You will find the Cheetah, Leopard and several cats watching the wandering game with interest. The Elephant, Rhino and Buffalo eat without fear of these predators.

Olduvai George locally called “Oldipai” a name given by the Maasai for the sisal growing in the gorge. This cradle of mankind lies on the short grass plains of the Serengeti. It is here that we find the archeological discoveries made long time ago by Dr. Louis and Mary Leakey including the Skull of hominoid, which is believed to be 1.75 million years old. Not only have fossils of Hominoid origin been founded but also fossils from prehistoric animals that lived around them. The latest and probably human fossils 302 bones and teeth belonging to a female some 1.8 million years old. Excavations still continue during dry season. There is a small museum at the gorge showing some of the finds. It is possible to enter the gorge with a special guide.
