You’ll spend the evening at Africa Safari Ikoma, situated between Serengeti Seronera, Grumeti, and Ikorongo Game Reserves, making it an ideal base for exploring the Serengeti.

Lake Natron

After breakfast, we’ll make our way to Lake Natron. The drive from the northern Serengeti is remote, with a desolate, other-worldly beauty and an incomparable feeling of space and antiquity. The roads pass through untravelled Maasai land, with small bomas and big mountains often in view amidst a wild, cauterized landscape. On the way to the lodge, there is an opportunity to stop at a hot spring.
We will overnight at Africa Safari Lake Natron. The lodge is embedded in its surrounding landscape and boasts stunning views of neighbouring Mount Ol Doinyo Lengai, a still-active volcano. Enjoy the view! From the lodge, you can take a 10-minute walk to the lake with your guide, or you can choose to take a refreshing and welcome dip in the swimming pool. The region is famed for hosting approximately two million flamingos, which gather along the lake's shores from June to November.
