Northern Tanzania

Lake Natron

A remote soda lake beneath Ol Doinyo Lengai, the breeding ground of East Africa’s lesser flamingos.

Lake Natron lies in the Rift Valley close to the Kenyan border, reached through Maasai country on rough but spectacular roads. Its shallow, salty waters attract huge numbers of flamingos, and the active volcano Ol Doinyo Lengai rises behind it.

Guided walks lead along the shoreline or up a river gorge to a waterfall. Natron is a good route into the northern Serengeti for travellers who want to avoid the busier roads.
