Elephant, rhinoceros, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, waterbuck, gazelle, warthog, baboon, lion, leopard,
and hyena are all common, as are smaller animals such as porcupine, hare, jackal, tortoise and
many others. All of these animals, apart from the elephant, are hunted and eaten by the Hadza.
The amount of meat that could be regularly eaten without endangering the future of the game
is probably greater than anywhere else in the world where hunters and gatherers live or have
lived in the recent past. Vegetable food-roots, berries, the fruit of the baobab tree, etc.-though
not often obvious to the casual observer, is always abundant even at the height of the dry
season in a year of drought. The type of vegetable food available is different in the six- month
wet season from the dry season but there is no period of shortage. The honey and grubs of
seven species of wild bee are eaten; supplies of these vary from season-to-season and from
year-to-year.
Sources of water are widely distributed over the country in the wet season but are very few in
the dry season. The Hadza consider that about 5-6 kilometres is the maximum distance over
which water can reasonably be carried and camps are normally sited within a kilometre of a
water course.
Part of the country consists of open grass plains but the Hadza never build camps there. Camps
are invariably sited among trees or rocks and, by preference, among both.
The eastern Hadza assert no rights over land and its resources. Any individual may live wherever
he likes and may hunt animals, collect roots, berries, and honey and draw water anywhere in
Hadza country without any sort of restriction…
In spite of the exceptional numbers of game animals in their area, the Hadza rely mainly on wild
vegetable matter for their food. Probably as much as 80 per cent of their food by weight is
vegetable, while meat and honey together account for the remaining 20 per cent.
Camps are commonly small and widely dispersed in the wet season, large and concentrated
near the few available sources of water in the dry season. There is never any shortage of food
even in the time of drought.
