Introduction

Hadzabés dansantThe Hadzabe People (or Hadzabe’e) have lived around Lake Eyasi in the central Rift Valley and in the neighbouring Serengeti Plateau for more than 10,000 years.

With a population of under 1000, the Hadzabe, who survive on fruit-gathering and hunting wild animals for subsistence, are under serious threat of extinction as their habitats have been converted into conservation areas and agricultural farms.
