Mto wa Mbu to Lake Natron
Mto wa Mbu to Lake Natron
The ride will take you over bumpy paths, through remote Maasai areas with stunning views of the mountain of God Ol Doinyo Lengai.
The drive takes around 4-5 hours in total (you’ll stop for lunch) and once you arrive at the entrance gate of the Lake Natron area, a local Maasai guide will escort you to your accommodation. You’ll check in and have time to freshen up, after which you’ll head to the lake.
Accompanied by your local guide, you’ll explore the lake on foot. The ground is quite slippery and muddy. It’s very shallow for quite some time though, so it’s up to you to see how far you want to go to get close to the flamingos. We’ll stay until sunset. After the visit, you’ll return to your accommodation, where dinner will be served.

The days start early today, as we want to hike to a nearby waterfall before it gets too warm and leave enough time to comfortably get back to Arusha before it gets too dark.
The hike takes about 1 to 2 hours and takes you through the beautiful landscapes surrounding Lake Natron. Get ready to get wet, as you’ll have to cross the river a few times!
Once you finish your hike, you’ll start heading back to the hotel in Arusha for dinner and a well-deserved night's rest.
