Lake Natron

Lake Natron, located in northern Tanzania near the Kenyan border, is a stunning yet harsh soda lake known for its striking red and pink hues caused by high alkalinity and salt concentrations. Fed by mineral-rich hot springs and the Ewaso Ng’iro River, the lake’s extreme conditions make it inhospitable for most wildlife but provide a crucial breeding ground for thousands of lesser flamingos. Its otherworldly landscape, surrounded by volcanic mountains and the towering Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano, offers a unique and surreal experience for visitors. Lake Natron is a hidden gem for those seeking adventure, nature, and incredible photography opportunities.
