Home of the Hadzabe, among the last hunter-gatherers in Africa.
South-west of the Ngorongoro highlands, the seasonal soda lake of Eyasi is home to Hadzabe hunter-gatherers and Datoga pastoralists and blacksmiths. Visits are arranged with the communities and paid for directly.
Visits start before dawn, joining a small group as they forage or hunt with bows they make themselves. Later you can meet Datoga blacksmiths who turn scrap metal into arrowheads and jewellery.
We keep groups small and ask guests to follow the lead of their hosts. Photography is welcome only where people agree.
About 4 hrs by road from Arusha
