Around Lake Natron are the harshest and most amazing landscapes in Africa, which will take your breath away.

      The fact is that this unique volcano is about 400,000 years old – active and erupting…. soda!) It has the “coldest” lava of all the volcanoes on Earth! Its carbonate composition adorns the gray slopes instead of snow and has created an amazing ecosystem in the lake at the foot.

      After checking into the hotel, we will go to the track. Accompanying us on this beautiful walk will be a local guide of the Maasai tribe! Our way lies to the waterfalls of Engare-Sero. After passing through a shady gorge, we will come to a beautiful natural pool surrounded by sheer stone walls, washed by a cascade of spring water, where you will have the opportunity to swim.

      Lake Natron is one of the most alkaline lakes in the world and home to millions of tiny crustaceans. The water in Natron is incredibly salty, alkaline – with an average pH of about 10-12, and the temperature sometimes reaches 40 0 C (near the shore up to 60 0 C); It would seem that such a liquid is completely unsuitable for life, but in the lake and on its shores there is an absolutely amazing ecosystem. It is based on cyanobacteria, which give red color to the water during the period of active reproduction. They feed on a few invertebrates, for example, the crustacean Artemia.

      The lake is a haven for literally thousands of flamingos and it is one of the most important flamingo breeding grounds on earth. It is the landscape rather than the animals that is the attraction here and the area around the lake is dry, desolate, and hauntingly beautiful.

      After breakfast, you will walk out across the baked mud to the shores of the great

      Soda Lake. From here, you can look back at the memorizing view of Ol Doinyo- Lengai standing tall amongst the rolling hills and flat plains. Its ash-grey color will remind you that this is still an active volcano. After lunch, you will return to Karatu where you will spend the night.

This Savanna is home to huge herds of Wildebeest that every year make the mass migration North, through crocodile-infested rivers, in a frenzied mixture of mating and galloping that is driven by instinct. Pride of lions rules here, their hungry gaze sweeping the Savannah for a chance to attack the thousands of eland, impala, and gazelle.
