HADZABE TRIBE
The Hadzabe are the last functioning hunter-gatherers in Africa. Their language is similar to the Southern Africa’s Bushmen who speak the click language and their language is believed to still have the clicks and pops like no other “click language” up to the now. It is believed that about 10000 years ago the more hostile tribes of the Maasai and Iraq (Mbulu), displaced this small African Bushman tribe from the Ngorongoro Crater and the Crater highland forests and they settled to their present day land around Lake Eyasi.
Tour start for 2 group of people
The tribe is comprised of very few inhabitants of the Lake Eyasi area; estimated at about just one thousand. African Bushmen do not do production by farming at any time and rely fully on hunting and gathering of fruits and berries for their up keep. By their strong bows whose string is made out of giraffe tendons they are able to bring down small animals like dik diks, baboons, monkeys, large and small birds, to large game animals like zebras, giraffes, and buffaloes. The arrows are treated with a poison extracted from a tree well known to them.
Spend time with the Hadzabe and become immersed in their culture, learning about their customs, rituals, and daily routines. Participate in their joyful singing and explore their traditional dwellings.
We will get the opportunity to participate in some of their everyday duties and hunt with them
One of their ancient skills is how to make fire from rubbing some wood, the Commiphora tree. Other uses of some trees include using the same Commiphora tree to extract the sap that is believed to be a mosquito repellent. They use the Sansaveria tree to make a snake bite cure and the aloe vera is used by the African Bushman as a treatment for cut wounds. The Baobab fruits are used for making a nice drink. What has kept the Hadza at the same place for so long is believed to be they habit of not using calendars and not counting time. The Hadzabe Bushmen are said to use only the different stages of the moon to count time. They do not own belongings other than what they need for survival like the bows and arrows and some pots for cooking. These hospitable tribal men are equal and there is no one superior to the other in their society.
