Lake Eyasi is a seasonal soda lake on the edge of the Rift Valley, south-west of the Ngorongoro highlands. It is home to the Hadzabe, one of the last hunter-gatherer communities in Africa, and the Datoga, pastoralists known for their metalwork.

The experience

An early-morning walk with Hadzabe hunters offers a rare insight into a way of life that has changed little over thousands of years. Later, you can visit Datoga blacksmiths who turn scrap metal into arrowheads and jewellery.

We arrange visits respectfully and with local guides, so that communities benefit directly from tourism.
