Lake of Eyasi
Lake of Eyasi
The up to 70 km long salt lake is located in the East African Rift Valley between the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Serengeti.
After heavy rains, the lake fills up. With the volume of water, many fish are washed into the lake from the streams and rivers, which attract many fishermen from the north of the country to cast their nets.
But the many pelicans, herons and storks also benefit from the abundance of fish.
The area is less suitable for wildlife observation, but rather for a unique natural and cultural experience.
It is the home of the Hadzabe, the last hunters and gatherers. The Datoga tribe with its ancient traditions also lives around Lake Eyasi.
"Samaki huanza kuoza kichwani"
"The fish begins to rot at the head"
(Tanzania proverb)
«Africa changes you forever like no other place in the world. Once you've been there, you'll never be the same person again. But how can I describe this magic to someone who has never experienced it? Maybe it's because Africa is the place of all our beginnings, the cradle of humanity, where long ago species first emerged on the savannah?"
