As part of his extensive travels across the globe, Phan Thanh Quoc, a YouTuber known as "The Nomad," recently visited the Hadzabe tribe in Tanzania.  

Deep in the forests, the Hadzabe are the last hunter-gatherer tribe in Africa to preserve a way of life reminiscent of humanity’s ancestors thousands of years ago.  

The Hadzabe reside in small, low huts made of dry tree branches and leaves. Their surroundings are rich with plants and animals that provide sustenance for the entire community.  

The enormous baobab tree is a vital resource for the tribe, offering both food and water reserves. Dubbed the "tree of life," the baobab provides a fallback during unsuccessful hunts when the Hadzabe rely on its fruits, along with forest berries and edible leaves.  

Hadzabe men are highly skilled hunters. Accompanying them, Quoc witnessed the swift precision of an antelope hunt.  

Hunting typically takes place in the early morning or late evening. Along the way, the hunters often shoot birds with bows and arrows to supplement the community’s food supply. Remarkably, every arrow, regardless of how far it flies, is retrieved and reused.  

During the rainy season, riverbanks become prime hunting grounds as animals gather to drink. The further hunters venture from their community - sometimes up to 20 kilometers - the greater their chances of success.  

The Hadzabe’s right to hunt antelope stems from historical negotiations. In 1971, a Tanzanian initiative to unify tribes sought to relocate them to centralized areas.  

Despite multiple relocations, the Hadzabe returned to the forest, arguing that modern life clashed with their traditions and culture. The government eventually granted them permission to continue their ancestral way of life, under the condition that hunting is restricted to designated areas and excludes protected wildlife zones.  

They are also prohibited from hunting five endangered species: lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and buffalo.  

During hunts, the men bring dozens of dogs to distract prey, making it easier to strike. Upon spotting prey tracks in the sand, they discuss its likely path, follow the trail, and use bows and arrows to take it down.  

In one instance, Quoc saw a Hadzabe man swiftly return with a freshly hunted antelope. The hunters quickly skinned and butchered the animal, discarding the hide and entrails.  

Fire was kindled in an ancient method passed down by their ancestors: rubbing a hard wooden stick against a softer one with a drilled hole, producing smoke. Adding dry leaves and utilizing natural winds, they created a flame.
