After spending a night at Lake Manyara and a few nights in the Serengeti national park, the Mecca of wildlife, we set our sights on Ngorongoro crater. After a sumptuous breakfast at the Kirawira luxury tented camp, we started our journey to Ngorongoro crater. En-route we had decided to visit the much talked about Olduvai Gorge and we reached there by late afternoon.

We sat through a guided brief at the site to know more about the Gorge. The landscape takes on a totally different meaning when one realizes that this was perhaps the place where our ancestors had first set foot.

The vast openness of the cradle of mankind takes your breath away. Here are a few images of this breathtaking landscape.
