Itinerary

After breakfast, Tanzania Expeditions driver will pick you up and depart to the Lake Manyara park for a game drive. This park is one among Tanzania’s most dramatically located wildlife areas, consisting of a huge but shallow soda lake (covering two-thirds of the park), located at the foot of the good Rift Valley’s western escarpment. The park’s varied habitat attracts a good sort of animals, including one among Africa’s largest concentrations of elephants, Lake Manyara’s unique tree-climbing lions, also as large flocks of flamingos attracted by the algae within the lake.
Today it’s time to interact with the Bushmen, the Hadzabe Tribe, who sleep in groups hunting with bow and arrows and gathering roots, tubers and wild fruits very much like humankind lived within the Stone Age. we’ll get thorough check out how they still survive and the way they adapt to their harsh environment and therefore the challenges they face to continue this nomadic existance. The Datoga tribe are blacksmiths, a trade developed over centuries and still practiced in vary much an equivalent way today.
