Lake Eyasi is a saltwater lake located in the eastern branch of Africa's Rift Valley in northern Tanzania. It is situated at the south western edge of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and covers an area of about 1,050 square kilometres (405 square miles). The lake is fed by several small rivers and streams but has no outlet, resulting in high levels of salinity.
The indigenous Hadza and Datoga tribes are the primary inhabitants of the Lake Eyasi region. They have traditionally relied on hunting and gathering for their sustenance, and their unique way of life has attracted anthropological interest. The Hadzabe Tribe lives in the dry terrain near Lake Eyasi, south of Ngorongoro crater in Tanzania. They have existed in this region for over 3000 years. We have time to go hunting with them for about an hour or two, walking, running, crawling through bushes, and looking in the shrubs for birds, antelopes, and larger herbivores. The women gather fruits, berries, tubers, and greens. The local guide who is a member of the tribe teaches you more about how they hunt, track wildlife, make fires, and even take honey from bee’s nests before introducing you to his people and explaining a little more about the customs and the way of life.
