You will be asked to watch quietly and stay as still as possible as they demonstrate how they attract their prey using distinct motions and even the body parts of other animals. Using poisons they make themselves, they will bring down food for breakfast while the women gather fruits, vegetables, and herbs.We will return to the camp to eat our late breakfast and then head back with picnic lunches to join the Hadzabe as we explore more of their culture.
