Lake Eyasi lies at the base of the Eyasi escarpment on the western Great Rift Valley wall. The natives around the area are the Hadzabe and Datoga. The Hadzabe people are commonly hunters and gatherers while the Datoga people are pastoralists. Lake Eyasi is a salt lake lying at an altitude of about 1000m between the Eyasi escarpment in the north (an ancient fault line that is part of the Rift Valley system) and the Kidero Mountain in the south. It's a hot, dry area, around which live the Hadzabe people (also known as Watindiga), who are believed to have lived here for nearly 10,000 years. Today there are only a few hundred left. The lifestyle of the Hadzabe still centers on hunting and gathering traditions. Also in the area are the Datoga (Mang'ati), and the Iraqw (Mbulu) and various other groups. In the area, you will learn about the history of underground springs in Lake Eyasi which have the extension of about 1km forming Chemchem River which sustains all irrigation in the basins.
