Upon arrival you will be introduced to your local guide who is also a member of one of the tribes and he will accompany you in the area. The Hadzabe are of Cushitic background and are very similar to the Kalahari Bushmen relatives. They still use bow and arrow for hunting and still speak a click-based language. Due to their nomadic lifestyle, it can be difficult to predict where you will find them but your guide will know where to look. They tend to shadow the movements of the wildlife as they are hunters and rely upon the migrating herds for food. Spend your day learning about their lifestyles and traditions and possibly visiting the caves where they sleep whey they are hunting.
