Safari summary

Take a journey into the "Gods must be crazy" movie. The Hadzabe tribe of Tanzania is the last true nomades of Africa. The Trailsof Easr Africa Safaris takes a name from these kind of tours and can take you on an amazing adventure with the Hadzas. You will join the men as they hunt for their daily subsidance using traditional Bow and arrows, or join the women as they forrage for fruits and berries. This is not a show or a "tourist put on". This is the real deal. A true African cultural experience, not for the faint of heart.
