Adventures with Tribes
This day will not leave you indifferent at all. As you are going to meet 2 very authentic tribes!
The first tribe you'll visit is the Hadzabe. One of the last hunter-gatherer tribes in Tanzania, the Hadza number under 1000. They live a life almost free of possessions and can move by carrying what they have on their backs. They wear pieces of cloth wrapped around them and don’t speak any English. The Hadza gain access to hunt small animals and gather around Eyasi Lake as they are increasingly marginalized in terms of access to wilderness areas.
Another tribe who's waiting for you is the Datoga who are nomadic herders, depending largely on cow and goat meat and milk for their diet. In contrast to the Hadza, the Datoga women wear beautiful jewelry that they make and colorful traditional wear.
Thereafter, you'll be transferred to Arusha for the flight to Zanzibar (4:45 - 6:00 pm).
