Overview
The Datoga (Datooga) are a Nilotic pastoral people who have herded cattle through the highlands and Rift Valley of northern Tanzania for generations, and are renowned throughout the region as skilled blacksmiths who forge iron implements from melted brass and copper. A visit to a Datoga boma near Lake Eyasi allows travellers to observe the ancient craft of metalworking, learn about traditional cattle-based livelihoods, and understand the complex interrelationships between Datoga, Hadza, and Maasai communities in this area.
