A soda lake at the base of the active Ol Donyo Lengai volcano (the Maasai’s ‘Mountain of God), the area around Lake Natron is often described as having a desolate and almost lunar beauty. The lake gets its deep red colour from salt-loving organisms and algae. Lake Natron is the most important breeding site for Lesser Flamingos in the world, making preservation of the lake an environmental concern. It offers spectacular scenery that often seems implausible or unreal, as well as different wildlife. Here, you will appreciate how truly remote and sparsely populated it is. The landscape provides excellent opportunities for an adventurous walking holiday.
