You will begin your safari with a morning departure from Arusha after pickup from your hotel, 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 the Serengeti, it offers a quieter and more intimate wildlife experience in a peaceful, off-the-beaten-path setting.
You’ll 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.
Accommodation
Lake Eyasi Safari Lodge
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 communities left in Tanzania.
You may have the opportunity to join the Hadzabe men as they go hunting with bows 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 and learn about their customs, rituals and history. This is a truly authentic cultural immersion into one of the world’s last hunter-gatherer societies. In the late afternoon you will drive back to Arusha.
