Situated in the East African country of Tanzania, Lake Natron is fed by mineral-rich hot springs and is less than three meters deep. High levels of evaporation leave loads of salt and minerals behind, the volcanic carbonate colours the water a striking red and the temperature can reach up to 50 degrees Celsius. All of which makes it a perfect breeding ground for the endangered Lesser Flamingo; however, it is known as the deadliest lake in the country, the high sodium carbonate level in the water is known to calcify and petrify wildlife who get too close. Visitors can climb the Ol Doinyo L'Engai, an active volcano; explore the surrounding terrain, including rugged mountains, grassy plains, and gorges; and spot a variety of wildlife.
The Gol Mountains are one of Serengeti's most remote and beautiful regions in northern Tanzania. Climb, birdwatch and camp at the huge Nasera Rock, and discover the vast surrounding plains teeming with wildlife, including large herds of eland, giraffes, lions, cheetahs, and massive wildebeest migration. Other highlights include: spotting a variety of unique birdlife, soaking up the spectacular scenery of varying ecosystems, and learning about the traditional Maasai. No visit would be complete without witnessing the magnificent moonscape of Serengeti's Lake Natron.
