Lake Eyasi -
Tanzania
Lake Eyasi is just
over an hour drive south-west of Karatu and the Ngorongoro
Conservation Area. Lake Eyasi is a mildly alkaline lake about 50km
long. To the north-east you can see the Crater Highlands and to the
north are the plains of the Serengeti. Around 100 years ago when the
warlike Masai tribes invaded Ngorongoro and Serengeti, the Datoga
and other indigenous bushmen living there were pushed south. Many of
these groups made the Lake Eyasi area their home.
Along the shores of the lake are Acacia forests which are home to a
high diversity of wildlife including leopard and lion. There are
several good quality , private campsites are located in the forest
clearings by the lake. Each provides a grassy pitch, shower and
toilet facilities constructed mainly from local materials.
Lake Eyasi's principal source of water is the Sibiti River, which
enters the southwestern end. The river may continue to flow all year
round in wetter years and all the other inflows disappear in the dry
season.
Seasonal variations in the lake are large even though the
northwestern shore is constrained by the Serengeti Plateau. During
the dry season the lake can almost entirely disappear. the lake is
also a seasonal stop for migrating flamingos.
LK.EYASI AND HADZABE TRIBE.
Lake Eyasi bushman cultural camping safari can be found just after
one hour of dusty driving south-west of Karatu and the Ngorongoro
Crater one arrives at the northern shore of Lake Eyasi, a mildly
alkaline lake stretching for about 50km to the south-west. To the
north-east the horizon is dominated by the Crater Highlands, to the
north, beyond an escarpment the plains of the Serengeti. Over 100
years ago when the stronger Masai tribes moved into the Ngorongoro
and Serengeti, the Datoga and other indigenous bushmen living there
were pushed south. Many made Lake Eyasi and its surrounding bush and
forests their home.
ABOUT HADZABE BUSHMEN.
Small groups of
Hadzabe bushmen live around Lake Eyasi. Their language resembles the
click languages of other bushmen further south in the Kalahari.
Their small population was seriously threatened, in particular
during the period when Julius Nyere tried to introduce his Ujuma
policy. The tribe resisted the forcible settlement policies of
Julius Nyere and nowadays most of their children have never seen a
doctor or school - the bush provides for all their needs and is a
class room for their offspring.
They are often willing for visitors to come and see their simple
bush homes where the tree canopy alone or a cave provides them with
shelter. They live entirely off the bush and from hunting, generally
small antelopes and baboons, although in rainy seasons gazelles and
antelopes come down from the Ngorongoro or Serengeti to their then
lush bush lands offering them richer pickings. In the recent past
their hunting activities were resented by trophy hunters who tried
to stop their "illegal" hunting

Attractions
Lake Eyasi is a superb place for
bird-watchers. Lake Eyasi is well known for the Hadzabe
bushmen and you can accompany them on a traditional
hunt. The Hadzabe are the last of the true
hunter-gatherers. They use an ancient 'click' tongue
language and live by collecting berries and roots and
hunting the small game that is still present in the
area. Accompanying a hunt is an exhilarating insight
into our ancient ancestors struggle for survival.
