Lake Eyasi is situated at the southwestern end of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area between Great Rift Valley Eyasi escarpment and Kidero mountains, just 133 km (95 miles) west of Lake Manyara. The Hadzabe are an indigenous tribe that lives around Lake Eyasi in Tanzania. They are one of the last remaining hunter-gatherers in the world, and only about a thousand of them remain today and so are the Datoga and Mbulu tribes. In the Lake Eyasi area in Tanzania, about 300-400 tribe members still live a true nomadic lifestyle. They speak Hadzane, a unique click language that includes popping sounds similar to the Southern Africa’s Bushmen who speak the clicking sound, it is almost impossible for Westerners to imitate.

A visit to the bushmen is very worthwhile, you experience a genuine, authentic, cultural encounter with these tribes and spend some time with them, learning their various traditions and skills. Meeting them at one of their camps and getting a glimpse of their everyday lives can be a valuable lesson and it is fun at the same time. The tribe members are very friendly, social and eager to show you their world and take you on a hunt with them. They are fascinating tribes whose ancient cultures still exists in our modern times. The sunsets here are superb, and the impressive western flank of the Rift Valley looms imperiously in the distance.
