FULL ITINERARY
Day 1: Lake Eyasi
We will travel from Arusha Town to the vicinity of Lake Eyasi to visit the last of African Bushmen hunter gatherers- The Hadzabe Tribe.
The Hadzabe are the original Tanzanian Bushmen with a Khoisan language of clicks. These primitive hunter-gatherers lived in valley caves of Lake Eyasi in harmony with nature for over 10,000 years. There are now just less than 1000 of them left. The advent of the neighboring Datoga tribe and the development of national government together with climate change, tourism and commercial hunting, has resulted in the gradual destruction of their environment and their way of life, but their isolation has protected them from many modern diseases.
A chance to learn their culture, their ways of life, their food and hunting with them traditionally is the purpose of the trip which will see the day ending at Mto wa Mbu town for a lodge stay.

Lodge at Mto wa Mbu
Day 2: Mto wa Mbu
The bustling farming community of Mto Wa Mbu, located between Manyara and Ngorongoro, is home to around 18,000 people. Spend half a day here with a knowledgeable local guide and you’ll discover a side of Tanzania that many visitors miss. A melting pot of cultures, Mto Wa Mbu is thought to be one of the only places in Tanzania where there are representatives from all 120 tribes living happily side by side.
Your guide is very likely to be from the village itself so you will have a unique opportunity to see the community through his eyes. Tours last around 2–3 hours, but are very flexible. During your visit you’ll get a good feel for the social side of the village – the farms and the milling machines, the schools, markets and churches. Your guide will be happy to answer any questions you might have, and will help you to gain an understanding of the inner workings of this typical Tanzanian community. A lot of activities can be conducted here popularly being plantation visits, water falls, hiking etc.
A day will end complimented by a traditional local Dinner in the evening before retiring to the hotel for a chilling evening.
