About this Property

Africa Safari Lake Natron is a luxury safari lodge, offering access to the Northern Circuit national parks and reserves. The landscape here is of unprecedented raw beauty; a dramatic lava desert with a high alkaline lake in a depression created by the Rift Valley.

The grounds are spacious and offer a variety of accommodation options, from simple Safari tents to the ultimate in Glamping Luxe.

The air-conditioned Luxury Glamping accommodations are complete with raised wooden deck, living room and beautiful rustic wooden interior. Safari Comfort accommodations are spacious and comfortable, with exterior canvas walls, a concrete floor and a permanent bathroom.

The swimming pool, with sunbeds and parasols, is embedded in the surrounding landscape and offers a beautiful view of the neighbouring Mount Ol Doinyo Lengai, a still active, unique and intriguing volcano.

From the elevated restaurant with reception and bar, the view of the accommodation, the flamingo lake, the striding giraffes and galloping zebras and the volcano itself is indescribable.

The idyllic location close to the shores of the sometimes strikingly red open waters of the mineral-rich ‘soda’ lake sets the tone for the accommodation base.

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.

Situated at the base of Africa’s only active volcano Oldonyo 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 flamingo’s and it is therefore one of the most important flamingo breeding grounds on earth.

Unique in its setting, Lake Natron Tented Camp is set back in a grove of trees adjacent to the shores of the lake. Basic but clean safari tents offer showers, comfortable beds and a private veranda. A fully stocked bar and candle lit restaurant ensure you have a cold drink and delicious food at the end of an arduous climb or long days walking.
