Flamingos on a crimson soda lake
Lake Natron
Overview
Lake Natron lies in the Rift Valley north of Ngorongoro, its caustic waters glowing red with algae and hosting the largest breeding colony of lesser flamingos in East Africa. Days here are spent on guided flamingo walks along the shoreline, waterfall hikes in the Engare Sero gorge, and cultural visits to Maasai bomas, with the sacred volcano Ol Doinyo Lengai on the horizon.
