Day 1

Lake Eyasi

Lake Eyasi

You will begin your safari with a morning departure from Arusha, driving to Lake Eyasi (approximately 4-5 hours). The lake itself is surrounded by picturesque hills and provides a stunning backdrop for your adventure.

Lake Eyasi is known for its birdlife, especially flamingos, as well as wildlife such as giraffes, zebras, and various species of antelope. While Lake Eyasi is not a major safari hotspot like Serengeti, it offers a quieter and more intimate wildlife experience in a peaceful, off-the-beaten-path setting.

You’ will have the opportunity to explore the lake's shores, where you will see waterbirds and potentially some wildlife in the area. The landscape around the lake is dramatic, and it’s a great place to take in the beauty of nature and photograph the surroundings.

Day 2

Lake Eyasi

Lake Eyasi

On the second day, you will spend the morning with the Hadzabe people, who live near the shores of Lake Eyasi. The Hadzabe are one of the most traditional and self-sufficient community left in Tanzania.

You may have the opportunity to join the Hadzabe men as they go hunting with bow and arrows. This is a truly unique and authentic experience, where you can observe how the Hadzabe use their traditional skills to track and hunt animals for food.

The Hadzabe women will show you how they gather wild fruits, roots, and honey, which form an essential part of their diet. The experience offers a fascinating glimpse into how they survive and thrive in the harsh environment of the Rift Valley.

After the hunting and gathering activities, you will have time to sit with the community, learn about their customs, rituals and history. This is a truly authentic cultural immersion into one of the world’s last hunter-gatherer societies.
