A closer connection
The story of this place
Lake Eyasi is a seasonal, shallow salt lake on the floor of the Great Rift Valley, south of the Ngorongoro Highlands in northern Tanzania. Its water levels and shoreline change with the seasons, creating a quiet landscape of open plains, rocky escarpments and distant mountains. The wider area is also home to Hadzabe and Datoga communities, and respectful, locally guided visits can provide insight into different ways of life and traditional knowledge of the environment. Lake Eyasi is a rewarding addition to a northern Tanzania itinerary for visitors interested in landscapes, birdlife and cultural experiences beyond the main safari circuit.
