Lake Eyasi Safari Lodge

Spend the day with the Hadzabe people, ancient hunter-gatherers who inhabit the land near Lake Eyasi, a gorgeoussodthats that’s part of the Great Rift Valley of East Africa, and witness their unchanged, traditional way of life and harmony with the earth. Accompanied by our professional guide, guests can engage with the Bushmen and learn about their time-honoured hunting techniques, survival skills, food preparation and cultural norms. A veritable step back in time, this is an undeniably authentic cultural journey into rural Tanzania that reveals the untold world of these charismatic people.

Among the world’s last remaining hunter-gatherer tribes inhabiting the scrubby bushland, Hadzabe men search for food alone and return home with golden honey, sweet fruit, or hearty wild game when and if available. Depending on availability, women go out in large groups and forage for bright berries, baobab fruit, and tubers. In the rainy, wet season, sweet honey is the diet’s main staple, along with colourful fruit, tubers, and sometimes meat.

Adjusting their diets to the seasons, this tribe comprises incredibly skilled, selective, and opportunistic seekers and searchers. They rely on themselves to feed their families and tribe.
