Overview
Bushmen Trip, Lake Eyasi
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.
The Hadzabe people are nomads and don’t live in the same place for very long. They only set up camp for several days or even months, and then when they have harvested the resources of their current location, they move to another area. Their movements are normally influenced by climate changes and the availability of wild fruits and vegetation for their animals. They build homes by weaving small huts out of sticks from the euphorbia bush.
The Hadzabe use bows, arrows, and spears to hunt for food.
They eat roots, meat, and wild fruits and use alternative medicine to treat their illnesses. They use sticks and grass to start fires. Their unique lifestyle makes a stay with them an interesting and stimulating experience.
