A very rare opportunity in today's world

Spend time with the Hadza tribe gathering berries, digging for tubers, harvesting honey, making arrows and learning to hunt during this incredible, immersive experience.

The Yaeda Valley is home to Hadzabe hunter-gatherer people. This incredible 4-day immersive trip gives you a unique opportunity to learn from the Hadza tribes by taking natural history walks with them, hunting with them and by visiting their camps.

This trip has been carefully set up to allow you to spend genuine time with the Hadza community - it is structured, but not staged! What the Hadza people would like, is for you as a visitor to take home an appreciation of their culture, not as an antiquated tradition disconnected from the modern world but as a valid part of it. This is particularly important to the Hadza tribes as they often experience severe prejudice and discrimination because of their lifestyle. During your trip, you will learn about how the Hadza survived gathering berries and honey, hunting and about their ancient traditions.

The Yaeda Valley where this Hadza tribe is based is a pleasing mosaic of open valley grasslands and rocky ridges punctuated by thousands of baobab.

Community values are very important to the Hadza people, and their land is seen as a communal resource. Tourism is judged worthwhile only if it enhances community land and resource rights. In particular, tourism should not permit individuals to profit at the expense of the community. Tourist proceeds, therefore, go primarily to community accounts, though smaller fees (structured by the community) may be paid to local individuals who take part in a given tourist visit.

January

January is mixed when it comes to weather, temperatures rise whilst the chance of rain and humidity increases. It is still a good time to go, as the rates are lower yet the game viewing is still excellent.

Expand

February

The weather remains hot with a chance of rain in February.

  • Meanwhile in the Ndutu Plains the migration is still occurring.
Expand

  • Migrating herds start to leave Ndutu, heading West towards Grumeti.
Expand
