Tanzania authorities have proposed an increase in the entry fee to Olduvai Gorge and the Gorge's museum from $3 to $18 per person. Also known as the 'Cradle of Mankind', Olduvai Gorge is one of the world's most important pre-historic sites. The Gorge which stretches about 50km and is up to 90km deep, was made famous by Louis and Mary Leakey when they discovered fossils of early man dating back to some 3.5 million years ago. It is located in the eastern Serengeti plains within the boundaries of the Ngorongoro Conservation area. The matter is in court and we will advise on the outcome of the case.
Wildebeest calving is well underway at the Serengeti and it is said there is no better time to witness the great migration. Every year between January and March, hundreds of thousands of wildebeest are born on the plains of the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Conservation area.

Apart from the wildebeest, the other star attraction at this time is the high concentration of predators that can be seen patrolling the vast short grass plains of the park. Huge lion prides and high concentrations of cheetah and leopard trail the wildebeest as they make easy prey of the new borns. To witness this amazing spectacle, please contact us.
