Olorgesaillie Prehistoric Site
Parim aeg külastamiseks
Early in the morning, between 7 and 9 a.m., when the sky is clear and it is still cool enough for a long walk around the grounds. The dry season from June to October is ideal, because then the paths are dry and easy to walk on.
Eelarvenõuanded
Entry is modest, often around 500 to 1000 KSh for foreigners, and local guides charge a small extra amount, so negotiate politely. Combine the visit with a safari in Amboseli or a day trip from Nairobi to share transport costs.
Soovitatav
History enthusiasts, Photographers, Adventurous travelers, Archaeology students

Teave
Kiired faktid: See paik asub umbes 70 kilomeetrit Nairobist edelas ja hõlmab üht Ida-Aafrika vanimat keskmise kiviaja leiukohta, leidudega umbes 200 000 aasta tagant. Varaseid süstemaatilisi kaevamisi juhtis siin Mary Leakey, kes koos oma meeskonnaga paljastas tuhandeid kivist tööriistu ja väljasurnud loomade fragmente.
Esiletõstmised: Üleulatuva kalju all orus lebavad tuhanded käsikirved ja kivitükid täpselt nii, nagu need tuhandeid aastaid tagasi maha jäeti, haruldane hetkpilt vanast töökohast. Teadlased lugesid siin umbes 38 000 kivist tööriista suhteliselt väikesel alal, mistõttu kostab peaaegu lihvimise susisev heli, kui sa kildude vahel kõnnid.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Wear sturdy shoes or high-top sneakers, because the ground around the excavations is loose and uneven.
- Ask the ranger about the remote viewpoints above the valley, which offer the best views of the sandstone formations.
- Bring binoculars and water, there are no shops or kiosks on the grounds themselves.
- Come early on weekdays, then you will have the grounds almost to yourself and can give the guide more time for detailed explanations.
