Lake Eyasi
A soda lake on the edge of the Ngorongoro highlands, home to some of Africa's oldest cultures.
About Lake Eyasi
Africa's oldest ways of life
Northern Tanzania, south-west of Ngorongoro
At the base of the Rift wall lies Lake Eyasi, a shallow soda lake beside which live the Hadzabe — one of the last true hunter-gatherer peoples — and the pastoralist Datoga.
A dawn hunt with the Hadzabe and a visit to a Datoga blacksmith offer one of the most authentic cultural encounters in Tanzania.
