LAKE NATRON.
This lake has been formed by eruptions of Ol’doinyo Lengai and due to its high concentration of
alkaline soda and warm waters it makes up a perfect breeding and feeding ground for
thousands of lesser pink flamingoes. As well as many other water birds come here to rest and
feed which make the area very attractive for passionate birders. Lake Natron and its dramatic
landscape is definitely an off-the-beaten path destination and holds so much in stall for
adventure travelers.
OL’DOINYO LENGAI MOUNTAIN.
This is the only still active volcano in the world that erupts carbonatite lava. This dark, thin lava
is cooler than usual lava and upon reaching the lake Natron down to its slope’s lava cools down
to become Natron carbonate and nourishes the lake with soda ash. The volcano is certainly a
phenomenon to geologists worldwide and its movements and recent eruptions are under
constant observation. The volcano can be visited and a hike usually takes up to 7-10 hours,
reaching the top you can have insights into the crater. Be aware of a steep, technical climb at
an altitude of 2880 meters.
