Arrival – Transfer to Karatu Town, Visit the hadzabe tribe

Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha, you will be warmly received by our professional driver-guide, who will brief you about your safari. You will then embark on a scenic transfer to Karatu Town, located near the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Upon arrival, if time allows, we will visit the Hadzabe tribe, an indigenous hunter-gatherer ethnic group of approximately 1,300 people living around Lake Eyasi in Tanzania. As one of Africa's last true hunter-gatherer societies, they live in nomadic groups, using handmade bows and foraging for food such as tubers and baobab fruit. They are an egalitarian society with no formal chiefs, one guy Chaba, mans one of the famous and most visited groups.
