If you're looking to connect with one of the last true hunter-gatherer cultures on Earth, the Hadzabe Tribe Day Trip is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

This unique tour allows you to witness their daily routines, hunting methods, and deep connection to nature in a respectful, immersive way.
Unlike a typical safari or cultural visit, the Hadzabe Tribe Day Trip takes you into a living museum of human history. You'll interact directly with Hadzabe men, women, and children—learning their language, participating in hunting demonstrations, and discovering their use of natural herbs and traditional tools. It's raw, real, and deeply enriching.

Our expertly guided Hadzabe Tribe Day Trip provides travelers with safe, meaningful access to one of Africa’s oldest communities, while ensuring the Hadzabe culture is honored and preserved.
Below is the detailed itinerary of your full-day cultural experience with the Hadzabe tribe from Arusha or Karatu.
Your day begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel in Arusha or Karatu. You’ll travel by 4x4 safari vehicle to the Lake Eyasi region—roughly a 4-5 hour scenic drive through Tanzania’s highlands and open plains.
Upon arrival, you'll meet your local guide and translator who will brief you on etiquette and expectations for visiting the Hadzabe. From here, you’ll continue to the Hadzabe camp deep in the bush.
The highlight of the Hadzabe Tribe Day Trip is joining the Hadzabe men on a real-time hunting excursion using handmade bows and arrows. Watch or participate as they hunt small game like birds and rodents, using incredible tracking and stealth skills passed down through generations.
Return to the Hadzabe camp for a cultural exchange session. Learn how they make fire without matches, craft arrows, and use natural medicines from the bush. Women may demonstrate how they gather fruits, roots, and honey, and children often join in song and play.
Sit in a circle with the tribe as they perform traditional songs, dances, and storytelling rituals. This is a powerful moment that connects you to their ancient oral traditions and worldview.
Enjoy a picnic lunch prepared by our team near the shores of Lake Eyasi. Relax under the shade of acacia trees and reflect on the depth of your cultural encounter.
Before returning to Arusha, you have the option to visit the nearby Datoga tribe—skilled blacksmiths who trade with the Hadzabe. Watch them forge arrowheads using age-old methods, and learn about their role in the local community.
Begin the return journey back to Arusha. This is a great time to discuss what you learned, ask questions, and enjoy the scenic route through Tanzania's stunning landscapes.
You’ll arrive back at your hotel by early evening, filled with memories and a deeper appreciation of Tanzanian heritage. Your Hadzabe Tribe Day Trip concludes, but the experience will stay with you forever.
Our Hadzabe Tribe Day Trip is led by knowledgeable, respectful guides who understand the sensitivity of this cultural experience. We work closely with the Hadzabe to ensure ethical tourism practices and fair compensation, making your visit not only impactful for you—but supportive of their sustainable livelihood.
