Lake Eyasi transforms between the dry and wet months, with the seasonal rains filling the lake and attracting not only birdlife but also hippos who come to cool off in its brackish waters. Flamingos, great white pelicans and African spoonbills can be seen feeding in the shallows and the sunsets over the lake are truly magical.
Aside from the peaceful ambiance and tranquility of Lake Eyasi, it’s also home to the Hadzabe bushmen and the Datoga people. Cultural visits with these fascinating tribes are all part of the Lake Eyasi experience, with both having lived here in harmony with nature for thousands of years.
The Ziwani Lodge provides a captivating setting to explore the natural and cultural wonders of Lake Eyasi in an area that’s rarely visited by tourists. It’s a serene place to spend a few days after wildlife spotting in the Serengeti National Park or the Ngorongoro Conservation Area while supporting sustainable eco-tourism and responsible community initiatives.
