Lake Natron Tented Camp, Tanzania
Lake Natron in Tanzania is found in the northeast of the country, in a beautifully desolate and remote region between the Serengeti Plains and the Ngorongoro Highlands. The camps is set out among a grove of trees on the shores of the lake, which lies at the base of an active volcano known as Oldonyo Lengai, Mountain of God. The lake is known as one of the most important flamingo breeding grounds in the worlds- here you can see literally thousands of these birds, an incredible sight. The camp’s comfortable safari tents are spacious, with en-suite bathrooms facilities, open-air showers, and private verandas. The camp’s main restaurant and bar area overlooks the lake, and is the perfect spot to relax after an exciting day of activities. These include visits to the many nearby attractions: visit the Lake, which provides spectacular photo opportunities, take a hike to the waterfalls, where you can enjoy a refreshing dip, or sample a taste of local culture with a visit to a local Masai village. The camp also has a natural swimming pool, as well as camping facilities for those who wish to camp out. The local community benefits from the camp with the receipt of a yearly grant.
