Explore Nasera Rock in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in Tanzania. It is a site that provides climbers with magnificent views of plains near the Ngorongoro crater. Located in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Arusha Region in northern Tanzania is the amazing Nasera Rock shelter, a key archaeological site that is considered an important site for understanding human occupation and the Middle Stone Age to Later Stone Age transition in eastern Africa, and also for the study of the spread of livestock herding during the pastoral neolithic.
 
 
Nasera Rockshelter is an archaeological site that has evidence of Middle Stone Age and Later Stone Age occupations in the Late Pleistocene to early Holocene, and ceramic-bearing Holocene occupations attributed to Kansyore, Nderit, and Savanna Pastoral Neolithic traditions.
 
The Nasera rock is situated about 20 kilometers North of Olduvai Gorge. It’s just a few kilometers off the shifting sand behind Gol Mountain. It is a spectacular, 50-meter (165-foot) high inselberg located in the southwestern part of the Gol Mountains. The name is a Maasai-inspired word, ‘’Naasira,’’ which means striped, written, or drawn. The drawings are said to have been made by Maasai Nasera rock during ancient times when they used the area as temporal settlements or hiding burrows.
 
These rocks are of the same age as those present in the South Hills and the Bao Site (859-500 mya). It might be the only known biggest fully exposed and complete inselberg in the region. The site has been internationally recognized for decades through its archaeological resources that have been excavated since the 1930s.
 
Pre-historic people camped in the Leeside of this huge iconic monolithic stand-alone stone, arguably the largest known in the world. It rises 50 meters high forming an interesting for climbers and birders. Its abundant material culture, including stone tools, faunal remains, and pottery are all worth visiting.
