Savannah - The Hadza (in Progress)

38 images Created 2 Dec 2014

The Hadza of Tanzania are the world’s last full-time hunter-gatherers. They live on what they find: game, honey, and plants, including tubers, berries, and baobab fruit.
This is part of a global story shot for National Geographic and titled "The Evolution of Diet", on self-sufficient communities, their lifestyle and food habits.
