Tour Overview

Hadzabe Tribe Bushmen | Hunter-Gatherers

It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience walking, running, and hunting with the Hadza.

This cultural experience with the Hadzabe involves more than just a walking safari: hunting, foraging, and interacting with one of Africa’s last remaining hunter-gatherer tribes. Fabulous Image Expedition Ltd has a long-standing relationship with a fascinating group of Hadzabe people living close to Lake Eyasi’s banks

Exploring Hadzabe Culture: A Journey to the Stone Age

One of our cultural tours in Tanzania is to visit the Hadzabe people. This will take you back to the Stone Age. The Hadzabe depend on hunting and gathering wild fruits and plants so that you will have the experience of a lifetime.

Therefore, many African visitors are familiar with the Masai people; the Hadzabe of Tanzania’s Lake Eyasi region is no less fascinating or representative of African culture.

Still leading the same hunter-gatherer lifestyle that has sustained their people for generations, the Hadzabe hunt using locally made poisons and ingenious camouflage.

Visitors to Tanzania can visit with these traditional people and witness a thrilling sunrise hunt to see how these hardy people have survived in the sometimes harsh Tanzanian wilderness for thousands of years.

Engaging with the Hadzabe: A Morning with the Hunter-Gatherers

However, a tour to Hadzabe starts early in the morning. You will drive 30-60 minutes from the lodge to reach the Hadzabe clan.

They will sit around the fire to warm up before their morning hunt.

At this time, they will be chatting, chanting, making new arrows, and smoking marijuana or tobacco. They will also like to offer you a pipe and smoke, but you will not offend them if you say no. They will demonstrate how they make fire with sticks, which they have been doing for thousands of years.

Experiencing Hadza Culture: A Journey into Hunter-Gatherer Traditions

These are friendly people so that you can sit with them too.

Learn how to make fire.

You can take pictures, interact with them, and talk to them, and we will guide you.

Hadzabe women are also friendly but not as charming as the men. I think men are more captivating because they smoke a lot, which makes them a bit high
