They are distinguished by being the only population in East Africa that continues to rely extensively on hunting and gathering for their subsistence. Linguistically, they speak Hadzane, a click language that has phonetic similarities to other Khoisan click languages but is not mutually intelligible with any.

Furthermore, we can go to Lake Magadi, a massive however shallow alkaline lake at the southwestern corner, which is one of the major capabilities of the crater.
