The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest volcanic caldera. It is almost 20 km wide, approximately 600 m deep and is known for its large variety of wildlife.

The best time to be on a game drive in the Ngorongoro Crater is early. With regard to visitors, the crater is the quietest in the morning, and the wildlife is most active around dawn and dusk. Plentiful resources attracted animals to this bowl-shaped topography, creating a Petri dish of wildlife living in relatively close proximity to each other. There are dense populations of predators and herbivores, and the crater walls create a natural barrier causing unusually high numbers of predator-prey interactions.
Lake Eyasi lies in one of the oldest parts of the Eastern Rift Valley, it runs northeast -southwest for a distance of about fifty miles below the 3000-foot escarpment. To the southeast of the lake is the Yaida valley, which is home to the Hadzabe tribe of hunter-gatherers. Lake Eyasi is a wild, scenically stunning area where you can get a real insight into the way of life of some of Tanzania’s interesting tribes, most notably the Hadzabe and Datoga.
A visit to their community is a cultural experience not to be missed, and it all happens against the backdrop of beautiful Lake Eyasi. A visit to the Hadzabe lands provides visitors with a unique and unforgettable glimpse into an ancient culture. Watching an early morning hunting display, gathering honey, and traditional dance performances are all part of the experience.
The Datoga, like the Maasai, are pastoralists. However, unlike the Maasai, these pastoralists are also skilled silversmiths who supply the Hadzabe with iron tips, knives and spears in exchange for honey and fruits. The Datoga blend in with their environment with outfits that are a reddish brown color, similar to the soil, with reddish patched leather dresses, necklaces, beadwork and bracelets. Another cultural feature that distinguishes the Datoga from other tribes is the decorative facial scarification with circular patterns around their eyes.
