Lake Eyasi is nestled in the Great Rift Valley of northern Tanzania It’s a shallow, seasonal soda lake surrounded by diverse landscapes, including acacia woodlands and rocky outcrops. This region is home to the Hadzabe people, one of Africa’s last remaining hunter-gatherer tribes. The Hadzabe have maintained their traditional way of life for thousands of years, subsisting on hunting game such as baboons and antelopes, and foraging for wild fruits and plants.
While Lake Eyasi itself is not a primary destination for observing wildebeest migrations, its proximity to the Serengeti National Park allows visitors to experience both cultural and wildlife adventures. The Serengeti hosts the Great Wildebeest Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and other herbivores traverse its plains annually. Visitors to Lake Eyasi can plan excursions to the Serengeti to witness this natural spectacle, combining it with cultural interactions with the Hadzabe.
