Home to the Hadzabe bushmen,
Lake Eyasi is one of the few places remaining in Africa where tribal life is still maintained relatively untouched by the development of the region. The Hadzabe people have called Lake Eyasi home for more than 10,000 years, and still retain their hunter gatherer lifestyle; making them one of the last bastions of ancient African tribal life. A visit to the Hadzabe lands offers a unique and unforgettable glimpse into an ancient culture.
Visitors can engage in cultural immersion with the Hadzabe tribe, one of the last hunter-gatherer communities in East Africa, and learn traditional hunting techniques. The area is also known for the Datoga blacksmith experience, where one can observe the crafting of tools and jewelry. For nature enthusiasts, birdwatching and guided nature walks provide opportunities to explore the diverse ecosystem of the region.
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. Lake Eyasi cover an area of about 1,050 square km (400 square miles).
