Ologesailie Pre historic Site Lake Magadi (Full Day).
The journey to Olorgesailie prehistoric site is a dramatic one, climbing over the slopes of the Ngong Hill before descending into the Great Rift Valley and Maasailand. The site is some 60 km from the city centre and was once, about half a million years ago, a hunters' camp on the edge of a now vanished lake.
The small but excellent site museum at Olorgesailie was recently renovated, and holds exhibits on human evolution, stone tools, and site formation. A raised wooden catwalk has been built around an impressive in situ display of stone tools and animal fossils, all dating from 1.2 million years ago.
