Lake Natron
Lake Natron
A Journey Into the Otherworldly
Lake Natron
Location: Arusha Region, Northern Tanzania Setting: Gregory Rift, part of the East African Rift
Lake Natron is one of Tanzania’s most unique and surreal landscapes. A shallow soda lake fed by mineral-rich hot springs and the southern Ewaso Ng’iro River, its surface may seem still—but the life and experiences it offers are anything but ordinary.
Wildlife
Despite its extreme salinity and heat (up to 60°C), Lake Natron is home to:
Specialized algae and invertebrates
A few hardy fish species
Massive flocks of flamingos (June–November)—one of the few places they breed.
This vibrant ecosystem adds an element of surprise and awe to every visit.
Why Visit Lake Natron?
One of the most otherworldly landscapes in Africa
Immersive and off-the-beaten-path adventure
