We say goodbye to Ndutu for now, but on the way we stopped at the magnificent Ol Duvai Gorge. Here is where extraordinary discoveries have been made by Louis and Mary Leakey about the origins of human kind. Footprints, skulls and tools made by our earlier ancestors (3.5 million to 1.5 million years ago) were discovered fossilized in the gorge and in the area. Nowadays herds of Wildebeests fill the plains surrounding the gorge, enjoying the fresh short grass rich in minerals for their calves.
