Maasai Village Tour
Of
the large number of tribes in East Africa, the Maasai tribe is easily the most
popular for tourists. Known as fierce warriors, this nomadic tribe is actually
very friendly and open to visitors. Many of them still live a very traditional
lifestyle and are easy to spot by their distinctive clothing. On this tour, you
can expect to learn about the Maasai religious beliefs, culture and lifestyle.
You will have the opportunity to enter into one of their traditional dwellings
and hear them sing and dance (and join in if you wish) and see their famous
jumping abilities. This trip also offers the opportunity to buy Maasai crafts
direct from the tribe. This trip can be easily added into any safari itinerary
or as a day trip before or after a mountain climb.
Hadzabe Tribe Tour
The
Hadzabe are one of the few true hunter-gatherer tribes left in the world. They
live in simple temporary shelters and live by hunting by bow and arrow, using
poisoned arrow-tips for large game. They hunt for anything from mice to
giraffe, with baboon being their preferred game. If they are successful in
killing large game such as giraffe, often the tribe will simply relocate to the
kill site rather than transport the game. They also forage for roots and
berries and are experts at herbal medicine. They create fire by rubbing sticks
together in an amazingly short time. Their clothing is also based on
availability, wearing animal skins, nothing or donated clothing. Attempts to
bring the Hadzabe into a more modern existence and give education to the
children by the government have failed. They truly love their way of life but
their hunting grounds are diminishing making their existence tougher. They
reside near the shores of Lake Eyasi as do the Nilotic-speaking Datoga tribe. A
tour will include the opportunity to go along on a hunt, experience their
singing and dancing. This is an amazing tour of a vanishing lifestyle. This
tour can be added to any safari that is near
