The purpose is not to present people as a curiosity, but to understand part of their relationship with the land and listen to how hosts describe present-day life. Ask who receives payment and how much time the community wants to spend with visitors.<\/p>\n<h2>What the experience may include<\/h2>\n<p>Depending on the host group, season and day, there may be an interpretive walk, explanations of plants or a demonstration of skills. Hunting must not be promised or provoked for visitors. Nobody should be pressured to pose, open a home or repeat an activity.<\/p>\n<h2>Photography and behaviour<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Ask permission before every photograph or recording.<\/li>\n<li>Do not give money, food or gifts directly to children.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid invasive questions and descriptions such as \u201cprimitive\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>Follow the guide and respect areas hosts do not wish to show.<\/li>\n<li>Carry water and sun protection, and leave no waste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Lake Eyasi and safari planning<\/h2>\n<p>Visits normally operate from the Lake Eyasi area and can connect with Karatu or Ngorongoro.
