Lake Eyasi

Home to the Hadzabe, one of the last hunter-gatherer cultures in Africa.

When to go

Year-round; the dry season, from June to October, makes hunting walks with the Hadzabe easier.

What to expect

A morning with the Hadzabe, learning how they hunt and forage exactly as they have for thousands of years, set against Rift Valley landscapes.

Where to stay

Simple camps and lodges near the lake, built for an authentic experience rather than luxury.

Hadzabe hunters at Lake Eyasi

A window into an ancestral way of life

Eyasi is not a wildlife park: it is a human encounter. The Hadzabe still live by hunting and foraging, and share their daily life with those who arrive with genuine respect and curiosity.

It is the perfect stop to close out a more adventurous route, combined with Lake Natron or Ngorongoro.
