HADZABE AND DATOGA TRIBE.
The Hdzabe and Datoga are unknown people to most of those who travel to Tanzania, but are no less fascinating or representative of African culture.
HADZABE TRIBE
As a hunter-gatherer society, the Hadza have no domesticated livestock, nor do they grow or store their own food. The Hadza survive by hunting their food with hand-made bows and arrows and foraging for edible plants. The Hadza diet is primarily plant-based but also consists of meat, fat, and honey. They create temporary shelters of dried grass and branches.
The Hadza speak a unique language known as Hadzane, which incorporates clicking and popping sounds as well as more familiar sounds. Leading the same hunter-gatherer lifestyle that has sustained their people for generations, Hadza use a locally made poison and ingenious camouflage to hunt. Tanzania Safari goers can join this beautiful people to witness a thrilling sunrise hunt to see how they survive in harsh wilderness at the foothill of Ngorongoro conservation area.
DATOGA TRIBE
The Datoga are unknown people to most of those who travel to Tanzania; they are semi-nomadic shepherds whose main means of support is farming, they are also skilled blacksmiths. They perform witchcraft and primitive religious rituals; a feature which makes them unique and easy to recognize is their practice of scarification to decorate and tattoo their bodies.
