Home to the Hadzabe, one of the last hunter-gatherer cultures in Africa.
Year-round; the dry season, from June to October, makes hunting walks with the Hadzabe easier.
A morning with the Hadzabe, learning how they hunt and forage exactly as they have for thousands of years, set against Rift Valley landscapes.
Simple camps and lodges near the lake, built for an authentic experience rather than luxury.
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.
Plan your tripThe Hadzabe are an indigenous community living around Lake Eyasi who still follow a hunter-gatherer way of life — a form of subsistence that has all but disappeared elsewhere on the planet. They are not an attraction staged for tourists: they are a real community that has chosen to share part of its daily life with visitors who arrive with genuine interest and respect.
A morning with a Hadzabe community, joining a hunting or foraging outing exactly as they live it, always guided by a local interpreter. It isn’t a re-enactment — it’s their daily routine, and you’re invited to accompany it for a few hours.
Eyasi works well for travellers who have already been on a wildlife safari and want something different: a human encounter, not another national park. It isn’t designed for those only looking to photograph animals, but for those genuinely curious about a different way of life who are willing to visit it with respect.
