Day 4. Tarangire/ Lake Eyasi (Hadzabe Tribe)

After a last morning game drive in Tarangire we set out for Lake Eyasi. Tourists hardly know this still nearly unexplored and wild landscape. Lake Eyasi is a mildly alkaline lake stretching for about 50 km to the southwest. To the northeast, as far as your eyes can see, the horizon is dominated by the impressive Crater Highlands, and to the north the plains of the Serengeti. Lake Eyasi is inhabited by small groups of bushmen, the Hadzabe Tribe, who live in groups hunting with bow and arrows and gathering roots, tubers and wild fruits much as humankind lived in the Stone Age. In the afternoon a guide will take us to visit a small Hadzabe tribe and get an in depth look at how they continue to survive and how they adapt to their harsh environment.

You will discover how they organize their groups, gather their food, look for water and take care of their cattle. This is a day that promises to be unique and very rewarding.

Day 6. Serengeti

We leave Lake Eyasi for a drive to the Serengeti where breathtaking landscapes, endless plains and abundant wildlife await you. The Serengeti is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world. The part of the Serengeti where we take our guests is the ideal location for marveling at the annual migration of large herds of animals at this time of the year. Often spotted in the Serengeti are elephants, hippos, lions, zebras, wildebeests, cheetahs, leopards and more.

You will be given a tour of a small settlement of bomas (name of Masaai houses) arranged in circular pattern, you will learn how these once great warriors and cattle herders have adapted to some aspects of the modern world and how they fit in today’s Tanzania.

Before the Ngorongoro Volcano exploded and collapsed 2 million years ago, it was one of the world’s tallest mountains.
