Hadzabe Bushmen Dagota Tribes Lake Eyasi Cultural Day Trip

Hadzabe Bushmen Dagota Tribes Lake Eyasi Cultural Day Trip allows you to spend time with the Hadzabe (Bushmen) – an indigenous ethnic group in north-central Tanzania, living around Lake Eyasi in the central Rift Valley and on the neighboring Serengeti Plateau.

You will spend a half-day with the Hadzabe tribe (the world’s last hunter-gatherer group) and experience their way of life. This cultural day tour begins from Arusha or Karatu, a small town located about 120 km northwest of Arusha. Departing very early in the morning, our tour to visit the Hadzabe and go hunting with them takes us on a very rough trail for a 2-hour drive. The road circumnavigates the Ngorongoro Crater and heads southwest to Mongola Village, where we meet local tribesmen.

The Hadzabe Tribe lives in the dry terrain near Lake Eyasi, south of Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. They have existed in this region for over 3000 years. We have about an hour or two to go hunting with them, walking, running, and crawling through bushes, and looking in the shrubs for birds, antelope, and larger herbivores.  The women gather fruits, berries, tubers, and greens. The local guide, a tribal member, teaches you how they hunt, track wildlife, build fires, and harvest honey from bee nests, then introduces you to his people and explains more about their customs and way of life.

The Hadzabe people are nomads and thus don’t live in the same place for long. They set up camp for only a few days or even months, then, when they have harvested the resources of their current location, move to another area. They build homes by weaving small huts from sticks of the euphorbia bush. The Hadzabe used bows, arrows, and spears to hunt for food.

They eat roots, meat, and wild fruits and use alternative medicine to treat their illnesses. They utilize sticks and grass to start fires. Their unique lifestyle makes their stay an enjoyable and stimulating experience.

Time permitting, we visit the Datoga or Barbaig Tribe (Blacksmiths). Visit a local blacksmith where spears, rings, and earrings are forged and crafted from local silver. Leaving the cultural village, we drive back to Karatu or Arusha.

Arriving in the evening, we drop you off at your hotel/ residence, ending our Hadzabe Bushmen Dagota Tribes Lake Eyasi cultural day trip

* In general, the Hadza tribe is non-materialistic and lives almost entirely free of possessions
* The Hadza tribe has lived the same way, unencumbered by the outside world, for 10,000 years
* The Hadza tribe is the world’s last hunter-gathering group in Africa that is collecting 95 % of its diet from wild foods
* The Hadzas live a very free life. They don’t grow food, raise no livestock, and survive strictly by hunting antelopes, baboons, birds, and buffaloes
* The Hadza live in homesteads which are dotted through the Bush, in groups of 20 or so Hadza. No single group owns these homesteads; each group will remain in one place for a few months, and then, when game is scarce, they move to a new boma. At some point in the future, other Hadza take their place in the old one
