Its a simple little hike up to the top of the observation hill. Its defiently worth it, we got to see the park at an amazing vantage point! We came here for lunch and got to see hippos during the day out of the water eating and basking in the sun! The bathrooms here were very nice and kept up as well.

Olorgesailie is a wonderful lesson in pre-history. There is always a good guide on site to lead and explain the history of the location and the story it has to tell. Interesting for visitors of all ages. Wear cool clothes, plenty of sun protection and solid, closed shoes. It is, however, accessible for almost everyone.
