FAQs for Lake Eyasi
1. How many days would you recommend spending here? We recommend a minimum of two days at Lake Eyasi. On day 1 you may visit the lake and meet the Datoga Tribe. On Day 2 you may join the Hadzabes early in the morning, and take part in their daily activities.
2. Is the Lake Eyasi tour for me? Lake Eyasi is a great location for a cultural tour rather than a game drive. Those who are fascinated by the ways of the hunter-gatherers they have read about in the books will enjoy this location. It will be a unique experience to actually take part in the activities of such a tribe. However, if you are not interested in such an activity then you should not really consider Lake Eyasi.
Experience of meeting the Datoga tribe will be similar to meeting the Maasai, so it will not be as unique. Although, visiting a Datoga village might feel more authentic as the Maasai village tour in popular locations will be staged.
Similarly, you will be able to go birdwatching in other national parks, so besides a different scenery, birdwatching at Eyasi won’t be that different either.
3. What to expect while meeting the Hadzabe? You will be able to join them on their hunt, collect fruits and berries, prepare food, and take part in fun activities such as dancing and having a look at their traditional jewelleries. However, you must understand that you will have to keep up with the Hadzabe during their morning hunt. They will not be able to stop for you while stalking animals.
