In 2000 the Akie population was counted at 5,268.[1] The Akie, like other hunter-gatherer peoples in Kenya and Tanzania, are sometimes called by the derogatory and misleading term Dorobo or Wandorobo.[2] The Akie were featured by Bruce Parry in the BBC series "Tribe" (10th episode, 2007). They live around 150 miles south east of Olduvai Gorge[6]
