Meet the Hadzabe

After breakfast in the morning a guide will pick you up from your accommodation at Arusha or Mosh then drive to a town called Eyasi and from here we drive into the Yeada valley. A full-day drive into your private lightweight fly camp. Arrive late afternoon. Beautiful countryside on top of a ridge line. In the evening we have an evening walk and learn more about the days to come from your guide, gaining an understanding of the Hadzabe people, their traditions and skills, and also the wider area. And overnight at this lightweight camp around the campfire. Additional notes: This is your first day on safari, so we ask that you please pay special attention to the national park visitor rules and our company recommendations. During the safari, it is strictly prohibited to exit the vehicle, except in specially designated areas. Violations of this rule may be accompanied by large fines for the company, including the revocation of its license. Off-road driving is also prohibited, as such behavior may cause irreparable damage to the fragile balance of the natural ecosystem. During the safari, you are allowed to smoke, but be extremely careful about how you extinguish and dispose of cigarette butts, as they are a frequent cause of fires in the savanna. In addition, we sincerely request that you not put your feet on the safari car's seats, nor sit on the back of them, because this type of behavior quickly makes the cars unusable. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Enjoy an early start for breakfast before departing with a Hadza hunter and your guide. Hunting excursions are often a mix of honey gathering and eating berries, but also opportunistic if a monkey or mammal is seen. The hunting is typically a mix of walking and occasional running if the hunter sees something exciting. Return to your flight camp for lunch and a siesta and, in the afternoon, walk for around an hour to a nearby Hadza village where your guide will introduce you. Set off on a walk with the women to gather berries, and baobab fruit when they are in season and dig for tubers. Men will often join the walk to harvest honey from hives in the trees. Return to your fly camp for sundowners and to enjoy the views over the valley while recounting tales of the day’s adventures.

Enjoy a hearty breakfast at the fly camp before departing with your guide back to Arusha or Moshi where your adventure concludes. By evening you will finish the safari and return to the hotel in Arusha or Moshi. A Karaoke night might be included after a Long Safari or you can rest in the hotel and transfer to the airport. Note: Hotel check-out is at 11:00 AM. In case you need a late check-out because of an evening flight, you have the option to extend your hotel stay till 6:00 PM for an extra fee.
