The Hadzabe bushmen


The Hadzabe tribe, living along the remote shores of Lake Eyasi, is related to the South African bushmen. They also have a similar 'click' language. As hunters/gatherers, they live a very primitive nomadic life. As they are constantly moving, there is no need for building huts. During the rainy season, they seek shelter in caves. While the men go hunting, the women look for wild fruits and roots. If a killed animal is too big to bring home, the family moves with all their belongings to the place of the kill. Going hunting with these people is a unique experience, although not for sensitive people.
