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.

EXCELLENT Based on 57 reviews Swabra O2025-04-25Verified Kilimanjaro & Safari magic We were a group of 4 friends and had the most amazing trip with this company! First, we did the 8 Days Lemosho Route to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. It was challenging, but so beautiful and well-organized. The guides and porters were friendly, patient, and always took care of us. Reaching the summit together was the best moment of our lives!After the climb, we went on a 5 Days Tanzania Safari and wow! We saw the Big Five, watched the sunset in the Serengeti, and enjoyed every minute. The lodges were clean and comfortable, and the food was delicious.

Tumpe K2025-04-10Verified A Journey of love and Altitude As a couple, climbing Kilimanjaro together was a personal dream, and Bush Lion Tours made that dream feel safe, exciting, and deeply meaningful. We took the 7-day Machame Route, and every single day brought us closer not just to the summit, but to each other. The trail challenged us in new ways, but the support from the team made it feel possible. Our guide was patient and kind, always checking on us and explaining what to expect each day. The gear provided; tents, sleeping bags, mats was clean, warm, and reliable, even on the coldest nights.What made the experience so special was the energy of the whole team. The porters, cook, and guides felt like family. They cheered us on, made us laugh, and even surprised us with a celebration song after reaching the summit. We’ll never forget sharing tea at Shira Camp under the stars, or watching the sunrise hand in hand at Uhuru Peak. It wasn’t just about climbing a mountain it was about sharing something powerful and emotional. Thank you, Bush Lion Tours, for making this journey the highlight of our lives.
