Lake Natron
Flamingo Breeding Ground & Volcanic Landscapes
About Lake Natron
Lake Natron is one of East Africa's most dramatic and otherworldly landscapes. This highly alkaline lake sits at the base of Ol Doinyo Lengai, the Maasai's sacred 'Mountain of God' and the world's only active natrocarbonatite volcano. As the sole breeding ground for East Africa's 2.5 million lesser flamingos, the lake turns pink during breeding season.
