Lake Natron

Overview

About Lake Natron

Lake Natron in the northern Rift Valley is one of Africa's most otherworldly landscapes — a shallow, intensely alkaline soda lake stained blood-red and orange by salt-tolerant microorganisms. The lake is the world's most important breeding ground for the lesser flamingo, with up to 2.5 million birds nesting on its caustic mudflats. The backdrop of Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano and the remote Rift Valley setting make this one of Tanzania's most dramatic natural spectacles.
