Lake Eyasi
Overview
Discover the Authentic Charm of Lake Eyasi – a hidden treasure in northern Tanzania, offering an unforgettable mix of nature, culture, and local life. Nestled just south of the Ngorongoro Highlands, Lake Eyasi is a scenic soda lake surrounded by sweeping landscapes and rich cultural heritage.
Start your adventure by walking along the shores of Lake Eyasi, where you can witness traditional local fishing techniques used by the people who have lived here for generations. The peaceful lake environment, especially at sunrise or sunset, is perfect for photography and quiet reflection.
A true highlight is the cultural visit to the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes. The Hadzabe are one of the last remaining hunter-gatherer tribes in Africa, offering a rare chance to learn their ancient survival skills, go on a mock hunting trip, and experience their way of life. The Datoga, known as skilled blacksmiths, welcome you with rich traditions and warm hospitality.
Wrap up your visit with a walk through the lush onion farms, where you’ll experience hands-on farming and see how agriculture sustains the local economy.
