Videos from Safari Kay’s Africa Safaris
Here are some of the hundreds of Safari Kay Videos I took while visiting the Hadza Tribe in Tanzania Africa. Although there are several videos each is short. The videos give you a brief look into how the Hadza tribe live and hunt.
Meeting the Hadza tribe

The men of this tribe live in this rock cave – there are many communities of Hadza, living in different small villages , but all in the main area of Lake Eyasi. They are hunters and gathers and must hunt for food. You have an opportunity to go with them. On my hunt, they only caught a squirrel on the morning hunt. But, it was fascinating to watch them. Most of the hunt, you’re walking, trying to keep up with them. To watch them and be there was a once in a lifetime experience.

Before they begin the hunt, all the young boys will make their arrows, decorate them – that’s how they know which arrow killed whatever the hunt is. Sometimes it’s a Bird, other times a larger animal. Many of the very large animals are gone, so it’s often the smaller squirrels, rabbits, birds that get more hunted.

Following the tribe, I go hunting with them during the morning hours. It is about 7 in the morning.

Coming close to catching a bird, it just doesn’t work for them. The bird is too quick, by the time they spot it in the tree.

These berries are sustenance both for humans and animals. Baboons love them, and apparently so does he.

Celebrating the hunt – Hadza

Published on Youtube on Mar 6, 2021
These young kids have just caught a squirrel – and I watched the entire hunt. One young boy about 14 caught it, chased it down and caught it….using the tail as a feather in his cap, or headpiece, he proudly sports to other members, the tribe enjoys their small feast. Yes, they offer a piece to me, but I am a vegetarian – on this day.

The Melting Process – Datoga

Published on Youtube on Mar 6, 2021
Another phase of the process in melting the object to formulate whatever is being made. In this case, they took a small padlock, like the one that resulted in my stirrer – and created a unique pattern on it. It was amazing!
Fanning the Flames (Datoga)

Published on Youtube on Mar 6, 2021
Talk about job security – look easy, but I was there a couple hours or more, and I was mesmerized by seeing him fan the flame to keep the fire going, they make thing all day long, so there’s always someone there to fan the flames.
