The Olduvai Gorge Museum, located within Tanzania's Ngorongoro Conservation Area, is a highly significant archaeological site chronicling human evolution. Access is primarily by 4x4 vehicle, typically as part of a guided safari tour due to its remote location and the requirement for permitted vehicles; solo visits are impractical. The museum is generally accessible year-round, though the dry season (June-October) offers better road conditions. Entry fees are substantial, often included in broader safari packages or comprising the Ngorongoro Conservation Area fee (approx. $70-80 USD per 24 hours) plus a separate museum ticket (around $30-35 USD). A typical visit lasts 1-2 hours, allowing exploration of the indoor exhibits and the adjacent gorge viewpoint. Knowledgeable museum guides enhance the experience, providing invaluable context to the Leakeys' groundbreaking fossil discoveries.
