About the Maasai

Maasai are a Nilotic ethnic group inhabiting central and southern Kenya and northern Tanzania. They are among the best known local populations due to their residence near the many game parks of the African Great Lakes, and their distinctive customs and dress

 

The Maasai are pastoralists. This is characterized by their constant movement in search of greener pastures for the lifestock which is their main source of livelyhood. Due to this kind of lifestyle they do not have permanent houses.

In Tanzania the Maasai are mainly found in the Arusha region concentrating in  Monduli, Loliondo and Ngorongoro areas. they normally live in clans which are characterized by a cluster of their mud houses built closely next to each other and referred to as a ‘Boma’. These Bomas are built in largely open areas where they can accommodate their livestock as well and fenced off with thorny bushes for protection.

About The Hadzaabe

Hadza typically live in camps with 20-40 residents,There are, as of 2015, between 1,200 and 1,300 Hadza people living in Tanzania

Hadza language

The Hadza language is simple, yet it has held the fascination of linguists for half a century. Hadzane is one of the oldest languages that employs clicks sounds, supposedly as not to scare off prey. It was once believed that Hadzane was related to the language of the Khoisan but it has since been classified as an isolate language meaning it is entirely unique to the Hadza

 

While a lot of people are familiar with the Maasai. The Hadza, or Hadzabe, are an indigenous ethnic group in north-central Tanzania, living around Lake Eyasi in the central Rift Valley and in the neighboring Serengeti Plateau

Still leading the same hunter-gatherer lifestyle that has sustained their people for generations, the Hadzabe make use of locally made poisons and ingenious camouflage to hunt. 

Visitors comming to tanzania are stunned by their deep relation to nature and experience the thrilling sunrise hunt to see just how these hardy people have survived in the sometimes harsh Tanzanian wilderness for thousands of years.
