After your time in the village, you will begin your drive up the escarpment to Lake Eyasi and Kisima Ngeda for your two night stay.Early the next day, enjoy a walking and hunting-gathering experience with the Bushmen (Wahadzabe) hunters or spend time participating in the morning routine of the settlement. Your local guide will interpret for you and discuss hunting techniques still used by the tribes. This dry and rugged landscape is inhabited by Bushmen who live in nomadic groups, hunting with bow and arrow and gathering roots, tubers and wild fruits. Be prepared for an extraordinary cross-cultural experience as you join these nomadic Bushmen in their daily life.
In the afternoon, you can also visit the Datoga, a tribe of semi-nomadic pastoralists who migrated into this area looking for good grazing land many decades ago and who are an interesting people to visit. They have, so far, resisted neighbouring tribes’ cultural infiltrations. The women, still wearing locally fat-treated goatskin gowns, who carve their faces and bodies to look prettier, are usually seen. Learning about their history is fascinating.
