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.
Hadzabes Tribe Tour
The Hadzabes 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 Hadzabes 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
Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
