Lake Eyasi , Tanzania
Kisima Ngeda Tented Camp is situated on the shores of Lake Eyasi. A seasonal alkaline lake that drains the Ngorongoro volcano's southwestern flank. Across this lake, the Alipi escarpment wall rises 2,000 feet up into the Ngorongoro Conservation Area providing a stunning backdrop. The camp of seven tents is beautifully set in a date palm and acacia forest and is part of a 200 acre family-owned farm with a natural spring nearby. It is also home to the Wahadzabe, an ancient, nomadic tribe of bushmen who are one of the last click-speaking hunter-gatherer tribes.
