Lake Natron offers adventurous tourists
Lake Natron offers adventurous tourists a unique combination of walking, waterfall hikes, and mountain climbing in one of Tanzania’s most dramatic landscapes. Visitors can enjoy guided walks along the shores of the alkaline lake, home to thousands of flamingos that nest in its shallow waters. The lake’s surreal, otherworldly scenery and reflective surfaces make it a photographer’s paradise. A popular activity is hiking to the nearby Ngare Sero Waterfalls, where tourists walk through a narrow gorge, wade across streams, and swim in cool natural pools surrounded by lush vegetation—an unexpected oasis in the arid environment. For experienced hikers, climbing Mount Ol Doinyo Lengai, the “Mountain of God” sacred to the Maasai, offers an unforgettable challenge. This active volcano trek usually begins at night, allowing climbers to reach the summit by sunrise for spectacular views. Together, these activities provide a rich blend of nature, culture, and adventure unique to Lake Natron.
