Travel by road to Ziwani Lodge2 nights Ziwani Lodge, Lake Eyasi
Ziwani Lodge is located on the shores of Lake Eyasi and offers stunning views over the seasonal soda lake. The lodge offers interactions with the local tribes and is a fabulous extension to a safari in Northern Tanzania.
The seven stone cottages are built on both sides of the main building. One of the cottages is a family cottage with space for two adults and two children. All cottages have en-suite bath rooms and a large verandah. In front of the main building there is a swimming pool.
Location
The southern plains of the Serengeti sharply drop down several hundred metres into the Great Rift Valley and Lake Eyasi. The 75km long Lake Eyasi is a seasonal shallow endorheic salt lake, that is often used by flamingos as a stopover on their way to one of the other Great Rift Valley Lakes.
It's about 3 1/2 hours total from Arusha; from the turn off at Karatu it takes about 1.5 hours to get to the camp.
Visit of the Hadzabe tribeA visit to the Hadzabe can be built into a safari. A road leads from Karatu to Lake Eyasi where we can recommend some lodges that serve as the base for a visit to the hadzabe.
You visit the Hadzabe in the early morning and with a bit of luck the Hadzabe decide to go hunting in the course of the day. You will be invited to participate in the hunt. Look forward to a unique adventure!
The shortest possible visit includes one night at Lake Eyasi, with the visit of the Hadzabe the next morning. If you have more time, a second night is recommended. In the afternoon you could visit the waDatoga with your guide. The waDatoga are shepherds like the Maasai and have largely preserved their independence as well.
