Along Lake Eyasi

From Karatu

About an hour

Tanzania is rich in different tribes of about 120 that descend from four main ethnic group origins that are Bantu forms the majority (e.g. Sukuma, Makonde or Chagga), Cushitic (e.g. Iraqw or Datoga), Nilo-Hamitic/Nilotic (e.g. Maasai) and a very tiny group of Khoisan ethno-linguistic family (Sandawe or Hadzabe).

The latter, in short form Hadza, is the only primitive existing group similar to the bushmen of the Kalahari desert found in the southern part of Ngorongoro highlands along Lake Eyasi an hour's drive away from Karatu town. They live in rock caves or built grass huts/bivouac and depend on hunting wild animals or gathering fruits/digging roots, tubers.

We arrange cultural trip visits to different tribes, a few mentioned above, in authentic villages so we can learn the lifestyles of the people of Africa. More than centuries on, some of the many tribes are still holding tight to their early customs, norms and traditional way of living to current dates.

Our model of operating is focusing on caring for the wildlife, nature and people. Please book and come with us for mutual benefit for all 3 above.
