1 Day Lake Natron safari tour

The 1 Day Lake Natron safari tour is a private day trip to Lake Natron in Tanzania, which offers stunning views of the uniquely alkaline lake and its surrounding landscape. The lake’s red hue comes from microorganisms, creating a surreal landscape where millions of flamingos breed between July and October. The tour includes activities such as walking safaris with an armed guide and nature hikes, as well as transportation in a pop-up roof 4x4 vehicle. The tour can start any day if availability permits and can be customized to suit individual preferences. Solo travelers are welcome, and the minimum age for this tour is 2 years.

Lake Natron is located in the East Rift Valley of Tanzania, north of the Ngorongoro Crater and a similar distance from the Serengeti National Park. It is the only place in East Africa where flamingos breed in large numbers due to the lake’s alkaline nature, which deters other life forms from settling in the area. The lake is largely inhospitable to most life forms, providing protection for the flamingos from predators.

What is the best Time to Visits Lake Natron

The best time to visit Lake Natron is during the dry season from June to October when the water levels are low, making it easier to access some areas of the lake. However, You can also see flamingos during the rainy season from November to May when they migrate to other areas due to flooding.
