Lake Natron lies in northern Tanzania near Ol Doinyo Lengai. The shallow alkaline lake is an important habitat for lesser flamingos, set within a stark landscape of escarpments, salt flats and open country. Water levels and colours vary through the year.
This is a destination for landscape, walking and a different pace of discovery. Plan locally guided outings with attention to heat, road conditions and the communities who live in the area. Flamingo numbers and access vary naturally.
Best time to visit
Conditions depend on rain, heat and road access. Plan the timing with your local guide, especially for walking.
