The meadows along the shores of the mildly alkaline Lake Eyasi are not only home to a wide variety of wildlife including leopard, hippo, monkeys, birds, flamingos, storks and pelicans, the area is also home to the Hadzabe bushmen, the last tribe of hunter-gatherers in East Africa.
Some 300-400 Hadzabe Bushmen still live much as they have for tens of thousands of years. Their simple shelters are built from grass, branches and earth; during the rainy season they still live in caves. Genetically, the Hadzabe are not closely related to any other people.

| Lake Eyasi is part of many of our itineraries. Depending on your time, you can either have a short visit to the Bushmen only or also accompany them on their early morning hunt. Lake Eyasi can be comfortably reached from our Highview Hotel. If you have the time to spend a few days in the area, you can take part in the activities and hikes offered by Highview Hotel.
