Begin your adventure with an early breakfast before embarking on a scenic drive to Lake Eyasi, a journey of just over an hour. Your first encounter is with the Hadzabe Bushmen, East Africa’s last true hunter-gatherers, who continue to live a lifestyle that mirrors that of our Stone Age ancestors. Around 700-800 tribespeople reside in small, tight-knit groups around Lake Eyasi, maintaining ancient traditions and customs.

Upon arrival, participate in a warm welcome ceremony, allowing you to gain rare insights into Hadzabe village life. Join the men for a communal hunting experience, where they skillfully hunt antelope, gazelles, birds, and mongoose using traditional bows and arrows. This fast-paced activity highlights the Hadzabe’s remarkable tracking and hunting techniques, offering a unique window into their way of life.

In the late morning, meet the Datoga people, pastoralists renowned for their blacksmithing skills. Watch as they resourcefully transform metal scraps into bracelets, arrowheads, and knives, demonstrating both their craftsmanship and resilience. Visit one of their huts to observe daily life, including women grinding corn into flour, a staple for their bread-making.

As evening falls, return to your accommodation with memories of an enriching day spent learning from the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes, two communities deeply connected to the land and their cultural heritage.
