Your guide points to a ridge and explains how a small shift in rock formed a piece of the past that scientists still study today.

You get access to the top geological sites in Kenya and Tanzania. You travel with guides who care about your safety, your comfort, and your need for clear information.
We use geological travel to create simple, meaningful experiences. You help local communities every time you visit these sites. Your presence supports trained rangers, community members, and research teams who protect these areas. Your trip also stays safe from start to finish with careful planning, clear communication, and guides who stay close to you at all times.
Why East Africa’s Geological Sites Matter
Kenya and Tanzania host some of the oldest and best-studied formations on the continent. You see dry lake beds, steep escarpments, volcanic fields, gorges, and open rift valleys. Each site tells a story about ancient lakes, early human life, and shifting tectonic plates. These places attract scientists, conservation teams, and travellers who want direct contact with natural history.
Our guides help you read each site with ease. They break down information in simple, practical language. You never feel lost or overwhelmed. You get clear explanations, steady support, and time to explore at a relaxed pace.
Top Geological Sites You Visit With Us
Lake Turkana Basin
The Lake Turkana Basin holds important archaeological and geological records. You walk across sharp rock fields and hardened lava. You stand at the edge of ancient shorelines and dry channels. Your guide explains how tectonic shifts shaped this region. You also meet local communities who manage conservation projects that support their families.
We plan your days here with safety at every step. Heat can rise fast, so your guide monitors the pace, your hydration, and your comfort. You get constant support in areas that can feel remote.
Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania
Olduvai Gorge gives clear evidence of early human activity. You see steep rock layers with clear colour lines that mark time. Your guide explains what researchers found in each layer and why it matters. You can also visit nearby Maasai communities whose involvement protects the area.
The roads can feel rough, but our team manages the drive with care. Your guide checks conditions, adjusts timing, and keeps you informed. You stay safe and comfortable during every segment of the trip.
The Great Rift Valley runs through Kenya and Tanzania. You see sharp cliffs, wide plains, and active geothermal zones. You learn how fault lines formed the valley and how volcanic activity continues to shape it today.
This area gives you long views and open space. Your guide helps you take in the scene without rushing. You hear simple explanations that connect what you see on the horizon with what lies under the ground.
Ngorongoro Conservation Area
Ngorongoro Crater sits inside an ancient volcanic caldera. You stand on the rim and look across grasslands, forests, and water sources. Your guide talks you through how the volcano collapsed and how the crater formed.
Community projects in this region rely on tourism. Your visit supports grazing programs, wildlife rangers, and community education. We help you understand how your presence plays a direct role in local welfare.
Chyulu Hills in Kenya

How Your Trip Supports Local Communities
Tourism funds local conservation groups across Kenya and Tanzania. Many geological sites sit next to villages and community-run trusts. Your visit brings income that supports guides, rangers, and youth education programs. You also contribute to research sites that protect fossil grounds and volcanic zones.
We hire local guides and support staff. You meet people who have lived near these geological formations for years. They share clear knowledge and genuine care for their land. You gain a practical, human connection to each site.
Our guides care about your comfort, your safety, and your time. They listen to what you want from the trip. They adjust the pace for you. They give simple explanations instead of technical jargon. They ask how you are doing at steady intervals.
If you show research interest, they take you to places where scientists work. If you prefer easier walks, they shift the route to flatter areas. If you want quiet time, they give you space while staying close for safety.
