DAY 3

The Datoga are famous for working with iron and for their culture very similar to Masai. The Hadzabe are believed to be the last hunter-gatherers of East Africa and have lived here for over 10,000 years thanks to their self-sufficiency. Singular is also their language, made of “snaps”. Packed lunch and at the end of the excursion return to the lodge for dinner and overnight stay.
