Day 3: Mto Wa Mbu to Lake Natron
After breakfast, we will start driving towards Lake Natron. Wild and remote Lake Natron lies in the northeast of Tanzania in between the Ngorongoro Highlands and Serengeti plains. Here it is the landscape rather than the animals that is the attraction – the area around the lake inhabited by Maasai is dry, desolate, and hauntingly beautiful. You will arrive at your accommodation Africa Safari Lake Natron in time for lunch. You will visit the base of Oldoinyo Lengai, followed by a lake walk during sunset. Situated at the base of Africa’s only active volcano Oldoinyo Lengai (Mountain of God), Lake Natron is one of the most alkaline lakes in the world. The lake is home to millions of tiny crustaceans, attracting literally thousands of lesser flamingos and it is, therefore, one of the most important flamingo breeding grounds on earth.
