Excursions Hominid Footprints - Ngare Sero Waterfall

Excursions Hominid Footprints - Ngare Sero Waterfall

The Engaresero Footprint Site, situated to the south of Lake Natron and 13 km away from Africa Safari Lake Natron, has been reported to host one of the best-preserved sets of fossilized hominid footprints in the world. However, until now, there has been no detailed characterization and age determination of the footprint-bearing strata (the Footprint Tuff). The over 400 footprints are between 5,000 to 19,000 years old and came to scientists’ attention in 2008. They cover a cordoned-off area slightly larger than a tennis court.

You will visit the Ngare Sero Waterfalls. The moderate 2-hour hike along the western edge of Lake Natron leads to a series of narrow gorges and waterfalls of the Ngare Sero River, where you actually can swim in slot canyons! You will be accompanied by a Maasai guide from the local cultural center. This is quite a refreshing activity after a hot day on Lake Natron as the area is both arid and wet at the same time, and lush with wild palms growing above the gorge.

Day 4

Excursion Flamingo Lake Natron Walk

Excursion Flamingo Lake Natron Walk

The Rift Valley’s Lake Natron is the chosen mating ground of the endangered lesser flamingo. To most other living creatures, Lake Natron is hell on earth but the long-legged waterfowl flourishes here. The lake’s steeply alkaline waters are unattractive to small birds, while the lake flats provide a variety of environments for birds that do well in the alkali oasis. The best time to spot birds at Lake Natron is when the flamingos of Natron lay their eggs - normally during the end of the dry season between September and October. The hatching starts in the early parts of the wet season and climaxes by December. Join a Maasai guide for a Flamingo Walk and walk up to the lake.

Enjoy a road trip to Africa Safari Lake Manyara, where you will spend the night.
