Lake Eyasi is situated at the southwestern end of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area between the Great Rift Valley Eyasi escarpment and the Kidero mountains, just 133 km (95 miles) west of Lake Manyara. Lake Eyasi cover an area of about 1,050 square km (400 square miles).

Dwelling in caves and wearing animal skins to cover themselves, the Hadzabe continue to practice their hunter-gatherer lifestyle even today. Visitors can witness their ingenious hunting methods, see how the women forage for vegetables and grains, and take a glimpse into their own ancestry.
The Lake Eyasi region itself is quite picturesque. While large game and predators are not present, visitors can still participate in a 'mini safari' as they explore the purple-stoned shores of the large soda lake.
