You’ll glide over grazing herds of giraffe or buffalo, keep an eye out for prides of lion and enjoy that rare treat of seeing as far as the eye can see. Every balloon ride is unique and your experience will depend on the direction of the wind. On landing, share stories over a glass of champagne and hot, cooked breakfast on the banks of the Serengeti River or plains depending on where you land.

![](https://timeforafricanadventures.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/HADZABE-TRIBE.png)
Hadzabe Tribe
The Hadzabe are the original Tanzanian Bushmen with a Khoisan language of clicks. These primitive hunter-gatherers lived in valley caves of Lake Eyasi in harmony with nature for over 10.000 years. There are now just less than 1000 of them left. They are a pride but also an embarrassment to a modern nation for its failure to progressively uplift the declining community from extinction, but out of respect for their chosen way of life, they are now the only people permitted to hunt with bows and arrows in the Lake Eyasi area. They live without a safety net, gathering the food they need day by day. They have no concept of religion or afterlife, nor of time beyond the phases of the moon. Life is ephemeral. You need not hunt baboon or a dik dik, half naked with a bow and arrow to appreciate the Hadza way of life, but you can if you wish. Time spent “living in the now” on a Lake Eyasi cultural safari that confers calmness, centeredness and courage.
