Day 1Lake Eyasi & Hadzabe Tribe Cultural Day Tour
Begin your journey early in the morning and head southwest to the remote shores of Lake Eyasi. Upon arrival, visit the Hadzabe people, a nomadic hunter-gatherer tribe. With a local guide to translate, you’ll join them on a bush walk to learn traditional hunting methods, try your hand at archery, and hear stories passed down through generations.
Later, visit the Datoga tribe skilled metalworkers who create jewellery, tools, and arrowheads from recycled metal using centuries-old techniques. After lunch at a local camp, take a short walk to explore the lake shore (seasonal) before returning to your hotel in the afternoon.
