2 Days Hadzabe Tribe Bushmen

HUNTING

Hunting starts around 7 AM, and a group of men (usually) take their bows and arrows and go hunting.
Here, you will join them for hunting by following them.
The Hadza eat almost every kind of animal, so they hunt anything they come across. They hunt birds, baboons, impalas, and other animals.

BUSHMAN SKINNING A DICK DICK

If the hunting is successful, they will make fire and BBQ. They will offer you a piece of meat; if you don’t want it, you can politely say no.

Participate in collecting fruits and wild honey gatherings, try your skills using a Hadzabe bow and arrow, and try your luck in a hunt. During the rainy season, they find a lot of honey, so sometimes they can harvest some while hunting. The hunting takes about 2 to 4 hours.

GATHERING

Hadza women picking berries.
Gathering is another excellent activity that you can do with Hadza women. The women collect fruits, pick wild berries, and dig for tubers. You can join a group of women foraging.
If interested, you can participate in this activity. You can help pick berries or collect fruits, which they greatly appreciate.

ARROW PRACTICING
Arrow practising is an exciting activity as the Hadza are willing to teach you what they know/have.

Hadza Tribal Dance

Hadza involves a lot of dancing and singing, and most songs are about courage, life, and animals. People sing and dance whenever they are happy or when there is plenty of food. So the tour will conclude with traditional dancing.

DATOGA

Another excellent experience is visiting one of the Datoga families around Lake Eyasi. The tribe has different clans; some are blacksmiths, while others are pastoralists.

DATOGA BLACKSMITH

This one is exciting to visit as they use ancient blacksmith skills to make arrowheads, knives, spears, bracelets, rings, and handmade jewellery.

ARROWHEAD

You will see how they melt braces, copper, or aluminium and make arrowheads, knives, or spears.

DATOGA PASTORALIST
A tour of these people is very significant; you will visit a family of a husband and his several wives, as they are polygamous.

The women from the tribe are beautiful and friendly; they will welcome you with charming smiles.

GRINDING MAIZE

Have you ever done this before? They will teach you how to grind maize with stones.

Enjoy the Hadzabe Tribe Bushmen cultural tour in Tanzania.
