Day 3

Karatu to Lake Eyasi Region

Karatu to Lake Eyasi Region

Lake Eyasi is a unique location in northern Tanzania that is home to the famous Hadzabe and Datoga communities. We first join the "Hadza" people, who are typically hunters who bring meat and honey home to feed their families. Men have traditionally done this, while women and children gather fruits and roots to supplement their diet. Hunting demonstrations are typically conducted in the morning to enhance chances of obtaining a kill than in the afternoon. Our experience will include the traditional method of making fire with special wood and thick sticks. Following that, we travel to Datoga for more cultural experiences.

The Datoga are natural blacksmiths and pastoralists. They are similar to the Masai in that they keep animals and rely heavily on milk and meat for their diet. Farming is one of their daily activities, and they grow maize, millet beans, and onions. The blacksmiths use local materials to make tools and weapons for daily use, and they trade them with "Hadza" for hunting.

Under the auspices of UNESCO, the Ngorongoro Crater is the world's eighth wonder. The Ngorongoro Crater is technically a Caldera, the world's largest unflooded one at more than 1600 feet deep and 102 square miles in size.

Because most of the animals stay in this area all year, game viewing is excellent. Along the lakeshore of Lake Magadi, you can see lions, Cape buffalo, hippos, elephants, zebras, and antelopes, as well as many bird species, including flamingos.

If itching, this is also the chance to see the rare Black rhinoceros. In a single game, the big five animals can be seen in the crater.
