Lake Eyasi & the Hadza Lake Eyasi lies at the base of the Eyasi Escarpment on the remote southern border of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and, as the home of the Hadza, is a fascinating place. The Hadza are Tanzania’s only remaining tribe of true hunter-gatherers. Despite government attempts to settle them, the Hadza have remained a nomadic people. They live in temporary, light grass shelters and typically move on every fortnight or so in reaction to weather conditions and game movements. Many of the Hadza still wear animal skins. The men use poisoned arrows to hunt for meat while the women fill the role of gatherers collecting seeds, roots and fruit. The Great Migration The Great Migration is one of the most spectacular events of the animal kingdom. Literally millions of animals make the annual migration to Kenya in search of water and grazing. Wildebeest, gazelle and zebra travel in hoards to reach richer pastures and their instinct to do this is so strong that they will risk their lives during their perilous journey crossing the raging torrents of crocodile-infested waters. Cheetah, hunting dog, lion and hyena await patiently, ready to pick off the weak and the weary. We can recommend certain routes at various times of year so that your Safari Drive journey can come into close proximity of this extraordinary movement of game.

Safari Drive in Tanzania A real adventure Tanzania is one Safari Drive destination that we like to recommend to our more adventurous clients. It can allow for an extremely exciting and much more hands-on safari. The camping is challenging and the experience thrilling. We use private campsites located deep in the heart of the national parks. They may lack the facilities you find elsewhere in Africa but they benefit from some absolutely stunning locations. Our Tanzanian vehicles are slightly different from those used in our other destinations. Geared to suit their environment, they have a roof top viewing hatch to maximise game watching opportunities. The roof tents are replaced by ground tents and vehicle design does not support a refrigeration unit. Our Tanzanian operations Our operations are based at Arusha and are managed by a highly experienced couple, who know the areas through which you will travel extremely well. We tend to include the northern parks in our itineraries not only as they have the most game but also as a means of cutting down on the enormous distances necessitated by travelling to the southern parks. Our favourite places to visit are Lake Manyara, the Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti, Lake Natron and Lake Eyasi. Selous, Ruaha, Katavi and Mahale are easily reached by air. We can include any number of these in our Safari Drive itineraries. T A N Z A N I A T A N Z A N I A 45
