Lake Eyasi
Lake Eyasi is a cultural Tanzania tour destination. It is home to the Hadzabe tribe among the few African tribes that have retained their traditional practices.
The Hadzabe are predominantly hunter-gatherers who depend on the wild ecosystem for food and survival. They make a clicking sound when they speak and can be great people to listen to. Hadzabe homesteads comprise small huts and a visit to their community takes you back to the African traditional Society.
This community visit is one of the best and most authentic African tribal experiences and we highly recommend it. Tanzania has many other tribes where you can have community and cultural experiences. Others include the Masai, the Wataturu, the Sukuma, and the Datoga tribes.

Rwanda is also another gorilla trekking destination and home to chimpanzees as well. A primate and open savanna wildlife safari is extensive and currently the best African adventure safari.
