The elongated lake, oriented southwest to northeast, lies within the Eyasi-Wembere Branch of the Great Rift Valley. This area is home to the Hadzabe Bushmen, as well as the Datoga and Mbulu tribes. A visit to the Bushmen is a worthwhile experience: they will kindly show you where and how they live and hunt. They live exclusively by bushcraft and bowhunting.
