No other site in Africa has as many ancient Homo sapiens footprints, making it a treasure trove for scientists trying to tell the story of humankind’s earliest days. Later on (after lunch and when the sun is cooler), you depart for Ngare Sero Waterfalls hiking adventure. This is a fascinating climbing adventure into a deep volcano canyon that requires walking carefully along crags of ancient rocks.
