National Park is one of the most popular and beautiful national parks in Tanzania.
The heart of the park is the Tarangire River, which also forms
the landscape with swamps and extensive tree savannahs of the large park (2,600
square meters the size of Luxembourg). We will have our lunch (lunch) close

impressive African baobab trees (baobab trees) and for the dramatic
interactions between predators and prey on the river streams of Tarangire National
Park with its own small migratory movements of wildlife within the park.

In Tarangire National Park, elephants, eland, gemsbok, lesser kudu and many other
animal species can be observed. Another special feature of the national park is the
tree-climbing pythons(Seasonal) and over 400 bird species such as the widespread
hornbill, partridges, pelicans, eagles, vultures and various types of herons. Due to
the year-round high animal population, there is also a good number of lions here,
which makes an encounter very likely. We stay overnight in the outside the National
Park.

Day 4 Cultural Activities at Lake Eyasi

Lake Eyasi is situated at the south-western end of the Ngorongoro Conservation
Area between Great Rift Valley Eyasi escarpment and Kidero mountains, just 133
km (95 miles) west of Lake Manyara. Lake Eyasi cover an area of about 1,050
square km (400 square miles).
The lake is as all the other lakes in the Rift Valley a soda lake. Lake Eyasi, which
has one principle spring, the Sibiti River, is enclosed with walls consisting of purple
lava. The main attraction of Lake Eyasi are the Hadzabe bushmen, the indigenous
inhabitants and the last community of hunters and gatherers in Africa. Lake Eyasi is
their homeland for over 10,000 years. They are still holding to their traditional way of
life, hunting and gathering different kinds of fruits and honey.
The Hadzabe live in caves and they don't wear any kind of clothes but rather skin to
cover the private parts. Their community is endangered, because most of their land
has been taken away from them for commercial production and they are forced to
join the civilization.
Lake Eyasi is also inhabited by another bushmen community, the Tindiga. This
community is also a hunters and gatherers community, but they are tired of this kind
of live and want to join the civilized world. They have been living for centuries from
the forest and its products, hunting animals such as monkeys. The Tindiga people
don't have permanent houses and avoid buildings with iron sheets, because they
believe they cause blindness.
