Wild and remote Lake Natron lies in the northeast of Tanzania in between the Ngorongoro Highlands and Serengeti plains. Situated at the base of Africa's only active volcano Oldonyo Lengai (Mountain of God). Lake Natron is one of the most alkaline lakes in the world. Home to millions of tiny crustaceans, the lake is a haven for literally thousands of lesser flamingo's and it is one of the most important flamingo breeding grounds on earth.

Here it is the landscape rather than the animals that is the attraction - the area around the lake is dry, desolate and hauntingly beautiful.

Activities include evening or morning walks on the Lake Natron flats to see the thousands of flamingos and other birds, moonlit walks, Natron tubing where you lay on a tube and gently float down the stream toward Lake Natron, sundowner on Lake Natron, dinner under the stars on a grass mat and cushions on the lake.You can also go on a walk to the beautiful water falls of the Engare Sero Gorge or ascend Oldonyo Lengai - in this case, you would leave the camp at midnight, reach the peak for sunrise and return to the camp by noon.
