Early in the morning, your guide will pick you up from your lodge. In just about an hour’s drive southwest of Karatu, you’ll arrive at the mystical Lake Eyasi – a seasonal lake shimmering in the Rift Valley, fringed with birdlife, and home to the Hadzabe Bushmen. This is where time stands still.

The Hadzabe Experience
You’ll join the Hadzabe on their daily routine – hunting small game with handmade bows strung with giraffe tendon, foraging for berries and baobab fruit, and discovering their secrets of honey collection. Learn how they track wildlife, light fires from the wood of the Myrrh tree, and use the healing powers of plants like aloe vera and the Sansaveria tree. Every moment is hands-on, immersive, and eye-opening.

Ancient Wisdom
The Hadzabe live with little more than what they can carry. No leaders, no hierarchies, no rush of time – only the moon to mark its passage. Their knowledge of the land is profound: tree saps as mosquito repellent, desert rose branches for arrow poison, baobab fruit transformed into refreshing drinks. Survival, simplicity, and harmony with nature define their existence.

A True Adventure
Hunting alongside Hadza men, gathering with women’s groups, and listening to stories around the fire will give you a rare glimpse into the oldest way of life known to humankind. This is a raw cultural experience – real, untamed, and unforgettable.

After a day of discovery, we’ll drive back through the Rift Valley landscapes, arriving at your lodge in the late afternoon – your heart full of stories and your spirit inspired by one of the world’s last great tribes.
