We told our children to remember the day we spent with the Hadzabe tribe near Lake Eyasi - I can't imagine we will never see anything like this again! There are less than 1,500 people remaining in this tribe, and it's unlikely they will remain when my children are grown. My 9 year old son got to hunt with the young men, and they killed doves with bows and arrows, and started a fire to roast the birds and eat them. For a young boy, this was the adventure of a lifetime! My daughters danced and sang with the women, and played with the babies. I was amazed at the faith of the Hadzabe, who live the way their ancestors lived for thousands of years. They have faith that the land will provide food each day, so they have no need for food storage. Our safari guide arranged for a local guide, named Michael, to go with us, as he had stayed with the tribe for several months and knew some of the isolated click language. His explanations of the Hadzabe way of life really added to the experience. The bushmen were so kind to my children and enthusiastic about sharing their culture with us. I left admiring them for their faith and for keeping their traditions alive, and a little jealous that they were able to spend so many hours hunting and gathering with their children. All in all, an unforgettable experience that we may never have again!

We were in Ndutu during the height of the migration. The wildebeests were probably 70% done calving the third week of February. The herds were huge with animals across the land solid in a 360 degree circle. We saw 6 cheetah, just saw the end of a hunt, lions, and best of all 3 different honey badgers.
