There is no better way to salute the end of a day on safari than with an ice-cold G&T in hand, watching the sun paint the sky shades of pink and orange as it sets.

The Datoga are a pastoral tribe with a lifestyle akin to the Maasai. The opportunity to visit them in their village provides an excellent opportunity to gain insight into a proud and vibrant culture that is as much part of Mwiba's landscape as the wildlife is.Dropping by late in the afternoon, guests are treated to the buzz of domesticity as the herders return home, and women busy themselves about their homestead in exquisite beaded and copper jewellery. They are delighted to show off their dwellings and rhythmic, joyous dancing in what is always a vibrant cultural exchange for all parties involved.

The Hadzabe are a hunter-gatherer tribe indigenous to the area, and live in perfect symbiosis with their environment, which provides them with all their needs for food, medicine and shelter. Guests have the incredibly special opportunity to accompany them for a morning as they move through the wilderness, foraging for food and following honey-guide birds to sweet treats. Join the Hadzabe on a foraging walk through nature and learn more about their folklore and history.
