Lake Natron
Huge magnificent baobab trees, the
Tarangire River, and volcanic mountain ranges add to
Lake Natron is a salt lake in
Tanzania’s Rift Valley, located north of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, near
the Kenyan border. OlDoinyoLengai, an active volcano, dominates the landscape
here.
The surrounding area is semi-arid
and dusty. Though millions of flamingos make their home on the lake, feeding on
algae, not much else is supported by this hot, harsh habitat. The only fish in
these waters is the alkaline tilapia.
The lake is 170 square miles wide
and less than 10 feet deep, but the size of the body of water varies depending
on the precipitation and evaporation. Between July and October is the
flamingo’s breeding season and the best time to visit. However, visitors to
this place come more for the scenery than for the wildlife.
