Overview

Why Lake Eyasi

On the floor of the Great Rift Valley, Lake Eyasi is home to the Hadzabe — one of the last groups on Earth still living entirely as hunter-gatherers — and the Datoga, master metalworkers.

A morning hunt with the Hadzabe is the most authentic cultural encounter on the northern circuit.
