MamboFootPrints also known as Madala hominid footprints The habitation of the Usmabara's goes back to 1,5 million years. Traces were found near the village Mambo and still can be seen, the most important ones are the MamboFootPrints | ||
|
MamboCaves also known as the Ngozoi caves Besides the MamboFootPrints, caves are discovered also with traces of very ancient habitation, probably from the same species as those who left the footprints. The MamboCaves must have been created due to a heavy earthquake which made a number of very big rocks fall over each other. Earthquakes with that heavy impact are not known in recent Tanzanian history so they also must have very ancient origins. Since the Usambara Mountains are about 100 million year old this is very well possible. |
