Nguruman Escarpment is an adventurous journey and a real experience for hikers and nature lovers. The escarpment marks the western wall of the Great Rift Valley approximately 50 km long stretching North-West from the Kenyan-Tanzanian border. Its environs are true land of contrast; ranging from open woodland, vast plains with patches of bushes and open woodland on the Eastern part of the escarpment to the dense thicket on the slopes of the escarpment. It's a source of numerous streams which make up the four main rivers in the area namely; Entasopia, Oloibortoto, Sampu and Pakase. It serves as a home to numerous wildlife species; animals, birds and plants. Along the base of the escarpment flows a permanent relatively bigger river known as Ewaso-Ngiro which is christened as a result of its brown color. This is the longest rivers in the area originating from the Mau Escarpments and drains to Lake Natron.
Olorgesailie Pre-historic Site is world renown as the "factory of stone tools" and the only place in the world with the largest number. Its located on the floor of the Great Rift Valley between two extinct volcanoes, Mt. Olorgesailie and Oldonyo Esakut to the south-west of Nairobi. The prominence and accumulation of human tools represents actual camping places of early men and evidence that human species had a tropical origin. The site is in a lake basin that existed about 100,000 to 200'000 years ago. Researchers, Dr. and Mrs. Leakey started investigations on the site in 1942 where they found important evidence that concerns the habits and activities of early prehistoric peoples of the Acheuleus or "Hand axe" culture. Olorgesailie has excellently preserved biological and cultural evidence about the evolution of man. This was made possible by heavy falls of alkaline volcanic ash from the nearby Mt. Suswa and Mt. Longonot which might have contributed much to the accumulated ash in the lake basin. There is evidence of humid climate during part of the middle Pleistocene that is given by temporary lakes and swamps that exist in the area today. The sediments left by the lake cover an area of 80 km2.
