Tanzania is home to some of the best Stone Age sites worldwide with Olduvai Gorge being the most well known. One may think of Tanzania Safari only for its fascinating wildlife, however, Tanzania is also the site of the Great Rift Valley and the birthplace of humanity. In fact it is one of the oldest geological and archaeological places on earth.

The Hadzabe Bushmen of North Tanzania is considered as the most ancient genetic heritage of any living people and it has been found that they also converse the oldest form of human language. At Olduvai Gorge, which is also situated in Northern Tanzania, one can see the bones of deepest ancestors as well as the first tools anticipated to be up to 1.75 million years old. For this reason the 48 km long gorge is referred as the "cradle of humanity."

The Kondoa-Irangi cave paintings are considered as the most imperative archaeological site. Engraved in blood, ochre and animal fat they reflect the concerns and thoughts of Bushmen in the region, 5,000 years ago. A Tanzania Safari proffers the opportunity to visit the birthplace of our ancestors, puzzle over the meanings of ancient cave paintings, and meet the Hadzabe Bushmen whose daily lives are not that diverse from those of the people roaming the Rift Valley millions of years ago.

As far as the cultural experiences are concerned, the most important thing to remember is the kindness and the warmth of the local people. Swahili is considered as an official language of Tanzania, however, most of the people will speak English. One of the distinctive whims of the Swahili language is that the time starts at 6am and ends at 6pm so 11am (English time) is 5am Swahili time. When speaking English, a Tanzanian will refer to English time but when speaking in Swahili their time will be 6 hours earlier. The popular local dishes of the region are Mtori, which is cooked beef and bananas, as well as Mchicha, which is a stew with meat or fish in it. Most meals in Tanzania will be escorted by a side dish called Ugali, which is made from corn flour and is eaten with your hands. Make sure you try the delicious local food during your Tanzania Safari.

Ngorongoro Crater Lodge includes three adjacent, glamorous camps with 30 Maasai-inspired suites floating on stilts on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. Whereas, Tanzania National Parks are Africa's most different and dramatic wildlife areas.
