Overview

Mumba is a vast area with a diverse range of physiographic features and landforms, such as rock shelters, drawings, signs, and paintings. These significant features conspire to make this cultural site an exciting place to visit. Next to this site is a small forage and hunting community known as Hadzabe, which survives primarily by hunting small to large game and collecting fruits from the bush for daily meals and lifetime endurance.

This site also features massive Middle Stone Age (MSA) and Later Stone Age (LSA) assemblages that represent the historical transformation from early hunting to animal husbandry at times. 

These historical records place Mumba and its surroundings, including the Lake Eyasi basin, on the list of key sites in East Africa for documenting the trend for technological and cultural innovations over the course of the MSA and subsequent cultures.

F.A.Q's

Ngorongoro is managed by a different government authority namely Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCAA). To get their details including fees kindly visit their website www.ngorongorocrater.go.tz

The Ngorongoro Crater is home to much more than wildlife safaris, with important cultural and archaeology here too.

Away from the wildlife, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area has other areas of significance. Oldupai Gorge is one of Africa’s most important archaeological excavations where some of the world’s most humanoid remains were discovered.

When travelling to foreign destinations it is always respectful to dress modestly and we suggest the emphasis is on comfortable clothing.

It is often warm on the plains and at lower altitudes but cold in the hilly and mountainous areas; a rain jacket, fleece and good quality walking shoes/boots are essential.
