Overview
Embark on a fascinating 2-day adventure to experience the unique lifestyles of the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes. The Hadzabe, also known as the Hadza, are one of Africa’s last true hunter-gatherer tribes, living around Lake Eyasi in the central Rift Valley. Renowned for their deep connection to nature, the Hadzabe rely on hunting game and foraging for plants and honey. Their unique click language, Hadzane, and traditional customs have remained largely unchanged for thousands of years.
On this 2-day Hadzabe Tribe safari, you will have the opportunity to witness their incredible knowledge of the natural world, including medicinal plants and wildlife behavior. The remote Lake Eyasi region, nestled between the Rift Valley and the Serengeti Plateau, provides a perfect backdrop for this cultural exploration.
In addition to the Hadzabe, you will visit the Datoga tribe, known for their skilled blacksmithing and pastoral lifestyle. The Datoga people have also preserved their traditional ways of life and offer a rich cultural experience.
This safari not only offers a rare glimpse into these disappearing cultures but also highlights the sustainable living practices of the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes. Join us for an unforgettable journey into the heart of Tanzania’s cultural heritage.

I contacted many top agencies, but Bush Lion, owned by Jackson, gave me the best price and was super responsive.Before the climb, Jackson and my guide Innocent met me at my hotel. They checked my gear and gave me a full briefing on what to expect. Innocent, along with the cook and the porters, played a huge role in helping me get to the top of Uhuru Peak and back safely. Every day, I had delicious meals, and Innocent always made sure to check my health and oxygen levels before bed.The porters went above and beyond. After setting up camp, they would walk back hours to carry my small bag while I was still on the trail. When I was coming down from the peak, they even climbed up to greet me with fresh juice and helped carry me for the last part of the descent because my knees were hurting.I’m really grateful for all their support. Their main goal is to make sure clients reach the summit safely and successfully.
