NATRON LAKE ANIMALS FULL
Enjoy the beauty of the night sky at Lake natron, full of glittering stars and the Milky Way clearly visible, most of the time. Although you can see game like baboons, vultures, kudu, oryx and gerenuk, the main draw is the untouched wilderness and the dramatic landscapes. This area is home of the Maasai tribe, who’s lifestyle is fairly untouched by modern culture.

Dramatic landscapeĪpart from climbing the Oldonyo Lengai Mountain you can hike to a waterfall, up the escarpment or visit a Maasai village. In the Maasai language the name Oldoinyo Lengai means ‘ Mountain of God’. At the summit you can enjoy the stunning views of Lake Natron and the surrounding area. Lake Natron is a real lake in the East African country of Tanzania. Any animal which enters the lake turns into stone-like structure. Natron lake in Tanzania is the most deadliest place for animals, the text reads. Due to the heat the volcano produces, it is only possible to climb it at night when the air is much cooler. A graphic doing the rounds on Facebook shows three eerie photos of grey, sculpture-like animals a bat and two birds. On the drive between Lake Natron and the Arusha/Lake Manyara road, you can see many Maasai villages, termite mounds, gazelle, giraffe, zebra, baboons, bee boxes. This is the only active volcano in East Africa and the third highest mountain in the Tanzania (2,886 m/9,469 ft). South of Lake Natron in the eastern rift valley of North Tanzania, lies Mount Oldonyo Lengai. For sure, this lake offers some of the most unusual and dramatic scenery in Tanzania. Photographers made the most spectacular photos of Lake Natron with beautiful mosaic pattern of bright orange, pink and red. That is the reason why more than 75% of the world’s flamingos breeds at Lake Natron between August and October. Salt-loving organism and algae (that give flamingos their pink tint) sometimes turn the lake into stunning colours.

Apart from the abundance of food this place is remote and so peaceful. With few other animals able to survive the high pH-level and temperature of Lake Natron, there is plenty of food for the flamingos. Although very remote and rather hot, Lake Natron offers an unique beauty that is truly worth a visit. It is famed for the massive flocks of these pink birds and the amazing red and orange colours of the lake. Lake Natron is the main breeding ground in East Africa for millions of Lesser Flamingos. This lake is extremely alkaline and therefore so toxic that hardly any animals can survive, except flamingos. Lying in a beautifully scenic area below the Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Natron is an oasis in the dry remote landscape.
