ITINERARY

Day 1: Visit the Hadzabe Tribe

The tour begins with an early morning departure from your accommodation, heading toward Lake Eyasi in northern Tanzania. Upon arrival, you will meet with the Hadzabe tribe, one of the last remaining hunter-gatherer communities in Africa. The Hadzabe people will introduce you to their time-honored traditions, including their hunting techniques using bows and arrows, and you’ll have the chance to learn about their deep connection to the land. If possible, you may even join a group of Hadzabe on a hunt, experiencing their survival skills firsthand. After the hunt, you will enjoy a traditional Hadzabe meal, consisting of wild meats, honey, and local fruits, followed by a tour of their dwellings and a deeper understanding of their customs, tools, and spiritual beliefs. The evening will be spent at your accommodation, relaxing after a full day of cultural immersion.

Day 2: Lake Natron and Maasai Visit

On the second day, you will start your journey early and head to the striking Lake Natron, known for its red-hued waters and stunning volcanic surroundings. This area is famous for attracting thousands of flamingos during breeding season, and you will have the opportunity to view the lake from higher ground, taking in the surreal landscape. After exploring the lake, the afternoon will be spent visiting the Maasai communities living around Lake Natron. The Maasai will share their rich culture, offering insight into their pastoral lifestyle and the significance of cattle herding in their daily lives. You’ll learn about Maasai clothing, dances, and rituals while gaining a deeper appreciation for their unique relationship with the environment. After the Maasai visit, you’ll return to your accommodation or continue to your next destination.
