About Tindiga Camp

Learn about life with descendants of Tanzania's most ancient cultures
Tindiga Tented Camp lies in northern Tanzania near Lake Eyasi, southwest of the Ngorongoro hills. The views here are vast, and all the more interesting because they encompass a large part of the area that's been occupied for centuries by the nomadic Datoga and Hadzabe people, who still live and play the way their ancestors did. Tindiga is a modest but comfortable camp, offering 10 tented rooms with en-suite bathrooms, a communal bar/lounge and a restaurant that was built by Datoga women. Visit the Hadzabe, the last known people to live by hunting and gathering, to improve your bow-and-arrow skills.

Property details

The property

The camp blends the natural environment, with its eco-friendly approach enhanced with modern amenities. The communal area comprises a small thatched dining room with an intimate bar/lounge and traditional fireside boma – where most evenings are spent. Enjoy an alfresco dinner as you swap adventure stories and plan the next day's activities (the food is simple but well prepared and satisfying). Don't miss the local made artefacts on the walls – they make for some interesting photographs.

The rooms

Hurricane lamps light up the path, creating a fairytale walkway between the communal area and 10 thatch-sheltered canvas tents. All are spacious, with big roll-up windows that offer gorgeous views of the surrounding landscape. Locally made beds and plant- or animal-themed linen, en-suite bathrooms with rustic basins and a bucket shower (the water is piping hot and plentiful) complete the accommodation. Take your morning coffee on your private veranda and watch the sun brighten the landscape.

Activities

Apart from view-gazing and birdwatching (reasons in themselves for a Tindiga visit), you shouldn't miss a guided walking safari to Lake Eyasi where you'll hopefully see flamingos feeding in the shallows. Visit the Hadzabe and book yourself a spot on a hunt. Then spend a few hours at a nearby village to see the Datoga people busy with their traditional metalworking skills.
