After lunch and break, we will spend quality time with the Hadzabe communities that still live a traditional hunting and gathering lifestyle. They live far from the typical tourist route deep inside the bush and are, therefore, very challenging to reach by car.

Your day will be spent gaining skills in hunting lessons, slaughtering, and preparing for wildfires like bushmen. The day could also involve adventure wildlife walking and tracking of wild game.

The day could also involve walking and tracking wild game. While one might think meat is a crucial part of the Hadzabe tribe’s daily meal, most are primarily vegetarians, and the shared meals are based around honey and various fruits.
With help from a local guide, you will do your best to hunt game for bush braai meat/ barbecue, and some will be taken back to the village to be enjoyed with the rest of the town.
Day 8: Hadzabe Women
