Our experience will include the traditional method of making fire with special wood and thick sticks. Following that, we travel to Datoga for more cultural experiences.

Farming is one of their daily activities, and they grow maize, millet beans, and onions. The blacksmiths use local materials to make tools and weapons for daily use, and they trade them with "Hadza" for hunting.
