Time to check out what our buddies experienced on Cultural Day from trip leader, Lori Anderson from our Women's Tanzania Safari this year! The group visited the Hadzabe, Maasai, and Datoga Tribes! Check out a summary of this incredible experience!
(Check back for the full update will be available in our blog, coming soon. ALSO, if you decided you want to join us May 8-18 in 2025, email [email protected] for a spot on our waitlist!)
Day 6: Hadzabe Tribe Visit
Today, we met the nomadic Hadzabe tribe in the Lake Eyasi area. They use a unique click language, which their leader tried to teach us. Hunting is central to their life; they use various arrow tips, including poison-tipped arrows for large animals, made from the desert rose plant. We joined them on a hunt, learning their whistling communication and trying our hand at archery. The Hadzabe live off the land, using plants like Salvadora persica as toothbrushes and for skincare. We ended our visit by dancing with them, appreciating their joy and simplicity.
Day 7: Maasai Village Visit
Our visit to a Maasai village included being draped in traditional plaid blankets and joining in their dances and jumping contests. The Maasai chief welcomed us and explained their semi-nomadic lifestyle. We toured their cow dung huts, learning about their diet of meat, cow blood, and milk, and their polygamous family structure. Each hut has no windows, just an opening for smoke. We also shopped for handmade crafts in their market.
Day 8: Datoga Tribes Visit
We visited the Datoga tribes, known for their pastoral and metalworking clans. The pastoralist women, dressed in cowhide with elaborate beadwork, invited us to grind corn in their mud and dung homes. The blacksmiths recycle scrap metal into tools and trade with the Hadzabe. We watched a nail transform into a large arrowhead. Their villages may seem to lack material wealth, but their strong sense of family, food, and shelter is evident. Our day ended with a surprise visit

What a great day for a Tanzania Safari trip update from Lori Anderson! Check out the group's highly anticipated Serengeti update! Here is part 1 of 2:

"Women’s Tanzania Safari - Serengeti Part 1
It’s Serengeti Day! 🎶
🎶 It’s Serengeti Day!
Is everybody ready??? 🎶
🎶For the Serengeti!!!
It’s Seren….geti Day! 🎶🎶🎶
Anticipation is high this morning! We leave our lodge accommodations and drive through populated village areas. We follow the now familiar rimroad of the Ngorongoro Crater to reach the other side and proceed towards the Serengeti and its 12,000 square miles of unmatched wildlife. The landscape changes to wide rolling hills, far-reaching valleys and open grasslands. We pass numerous Maasai villages and often see their boys and men tending to herds of sheep and cows. We know by days end we’ll have reached our tent camp deep in the Serengeti.
Long before reaching the Serengeti Park itself, our guides spot a large group of giraffes far off in a field. They ask permission of the Maasai shepherd and soon we’re off-roading our way towards the giraffes. They slowly and gracefully make their way all around us. Did you know that there are TWO collective nouns for giraffes? If the group is standing still, it’s a tower of giraffes. If they are on the move, it’s considered a journey of giraffes!
Soon we reach the park entrance.
What does it mean to go on a game drive in the Serengeti?
* It means we’re dressed in forest-friendly colors. We want to be as inconspicuous as possible as we accept our invitation into this incomparable animal kingdom.
* It means our guide pops up the roof on our safari vehicle. When we spot wildlife, the open roof provides everyone a wide, clear view.
* It means we all have binoculars and cameras ready.
* It means we’re all scanning the landscape - near and far -

Here is the Uganda Safari update everyone has been waiting for!! Trip leader, Lori Anderson, has ALL of the incredible details of this year's experience with the mountain gorillas that live in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Forest! Check it out:
"Uganda 24 -Gorilla Trek Day!!
We have all been anxiously awaiting this day!
We’re headed into the Bwindi Impenetrable National Forest in hopes of sighting the Mountain Gorillas. We gather at the ranger station where we are greeted by women dancers from the local community. They are members of the Bakiga (ba-chee-ga) tribe and are dressed in the bright colors of the Uganda flag. Their songs and dances are joyful and energetic. Music and dance. It’s a beautiful universal language shared by every culture.
A park ranger gives us a short talk on the park area and the massive conservation efforts in place to protect both the land and animals. A percentage of all proceeds are given back to the local community. This process has made enormous strides in reducing poaching; the greatest threat to the gorillas.
We gather around our guide for the day.
She carries a machete. She continues our briefing as to what to expect as we enter the jungle.
We are each teamed up with a personal porter. They are responsible for carrying our backpacks, and lending a helping hand throughout the trek. At first glance, the use of porters seems to be an unnecessary luxury. It won’t be long until we realize they are a necessity. The last person rounding out our entourage is a park ranger.
There are already trackers out in the jungle looking for our gorilla family. They start at where the gorillas nested down the night before and track from there. The trackers are in contact with our guide, giving her information as to our starting point.
We are handed a bamboo stick and off we go! We start our hike from the orientation site. We hike for about 10 minutes when our guide gets word we’re going to change direction. There

Check out the Chimpanzee Day update from our Women's Uganda Safari! Trip leader, Lori Anderson, has given an exciting recall of their unforgettable event:
"Uganda 24 -Chimpanzee Day!
We entered the Kibale National Forest, primate capital of the world and home to over 1500 chimpanzees.
Our GE group was teamed up with a Kibale Forest guide and a ranger.
The forest is a tropical jungle. Recent rains left everything damp. The heavy air around us had two levels of measurement… humid and very humid. At times we walked on an established trail and over boardwalks. We came across one boardwalk no longer functional as it had been recently used by a forest elephant. At times, our guide took us off the beaten path and directly into the jungle. Low lying areas had us trekking through mud.
The rangers track the chimps by listening for their vocal communication and watching for signs on the ground (droppings and knuckle prints). Chimps use a wide variety of vocalizations including hoots, pant-hoots, and screams. The chimps will also pound hard on a tree as they pass by, creating a loud drumming noise.
Chimpanzees spend time on both the ground and high up in the canopy. They build a new nest each day, in the trees.
Babies sleeps with their mother; everyone else builds their own nest.
Our first sighting was a small family scattered in the canopy above us, eating figs. Soon, loud vocalizations grew louder and louder and a group of four males ran quickly past us! After our heart rates came back to normal (and the giggling stopped) we spent time quietly watching the troop of 12 chimpanzees in the trees all around us.
As the morning sunlight warms the canopy, the chimpanzees climb down to the ground and rest.
We felt fortunate to have a peek into their world!
Chimpanzees!!! They are our closest relative, sharing 98.8% of our DNA!"
Dang! What an experience for those lucky ladies! If you are feeling lucky and want to join our 2025 Women's Uganda Safari, give

Let's check in with trip leader, Lori Anderson, on day 2 of their Women's Uganda Safari:
"Uganda Day 2
Rhinoceros encounter
Today we spent time at a rhino sanctuary! It was an awesome experience as we hiked into the depths of the sanctuary along with a sanctuary guide. Our guide was able to find five rhinos - including a mom with her youngster and three very large males. We observed them from a distance of about 50’, at times backing up, and always heeding the advice of what to do if they should charge. Don’t let the word ‘sanctuary’ fool you. These beautiful animals are free to roam about the entire 27 square mile area. There were NO FENCES between us and the rhinos as we stood in silent observation.
Rhinos were hunted and poached to complete eradication in this area in the 1970’s and 1980’s. A strong and comprehensive conservation effort started about 20 years later with six rhinos. They currently have 41. When the count hits 50, they’ll start reintroducing them into the wild. They’ve made fantastic strides!"
That is such a refreshing success story! Humans involvement in conservation really does make a difference!
