Lake Eyasi
Tourists hardly know this wild, still nearly unexplored landscape, and you will be particularly impressed of it. Lake Eyasi is a mildly alkaline lake stretching for about 50 km (31 miles) to the southwest. To the northeast, as far as your eyes can see, the horizon is dominated by the impressive Crater Highlands, to the north the plains of the Serengeti.

This area is inhabited by small groups of bushmen - the Hadza and Watindiga. who live in groups hunting with bow and arrows and gathering roots, tubers and wild fruits much as humankind lived in the Stone Age. Over 100 years ago, when the stronger Masai tribes moved into the Ngorongoro and Serengeti, the tribes made the area around Lake Eyasi their home. Another interesting tribe in the area is the Datoga. These are the last remaining tribes of bushmen in East Africa.

Since we are in contact with these natives since many years, they permit to accompany us and show us their daily life and hunting methods.

Lake Natron
One of the most original landscapes in East Africa is the area around the Lake soda: home of the Maasai, which live here still in traditional way and are hardly influenced of the modern culture. It is the home for millions of birds, too, and therefor interesting for bird watching. Because this landscape is so inaccessible, it did not need to be particularly protected: it is under no protection of a national park administration.

But the area offers more attractions including a river walk with two waterfalls, a hike across the soda lake with flamingos, where giraffes and other animals are often seen. A trek up Oldonyio Lengai, an active volcano, is one of the higlights of an adventures Safari: Oldonyio Lengai is located in the heart of the Great Rift Valley and has erupted fifteen times in the past century. A challenging hike to the top of the "Mountain of God" offers an opportunity to view molten lava. From there you have great views of the surrounding landscapes.
