Lake Eyasi Tanzania
Location: Northern Tanzania
Total area: 1,030 km²
Lake Eyasi is a seasonal shallow salt lake on the floor of the Great Rift Valley at the base of the Serengeti Plateau. It is just south of Serengeti National Park and southwest of Ngorongoro Crater in the Crater Highlands. It has a surface elevation of 1,030 m (3,380 ft).
It is beautifully fringed by the Great Rift walls to the west and the highlands to the north offering a magnificent view. This majestic landscape is the homeland of Hadzabe (Bushman) who lived in groups hunting with bow and arrow, gathering roots, honey, tubers, and wild fruits much as humankind lived in the Stone Age over 10.000 years ago.
Their language resembles the bushman language in the south of the Kalahari. They are monogamous, usually live in small families, and most never visit the doctor or went to school. You will experience the life of a nomadic Datoga living close to the Hadzabe. You will meet a family, listen to stories, visit Datoga traditional healers, traditional herbs that cure various diseases, their Bomas, and much more.
The areas have poor vegetation that big antelopes need for a livelihood, therefore there are no predators like lions, leopards, and cheetahs, that’s why the place became good and safe for small-sized animals like jackals, hyenas, genets, waterbucks, dwarf antelopes, Vervet monkeys and many species of different birds.
