Transfer from Central Serengeti National Park to Lake Natron

After a delicious breakfast, your tour guide driver will pick you up at your lodge with lunch boxes. You'll transfer to Lake Natron. You will visit waterfalls and Lake Natron, one of the most alkaline lakes in the world. Home to millions of tiny crustaceans, the lake is a haven for thousands of lesser flamingos and is one of the most important flamingo breeding grounds on earth. You will enjoy a refreshing swim in the river and under the waterfalls for a nice cool-down from the hot sun.

Lake Natron is located in northern Tanzania, near the border with neighboring Kenya. Lake Natron is situated northeast of the Ngorongoro Crater. The landscape is dominated by OL Doinyo Lengai, an active volcano that is just south of Lake Natron. Lake Natron is primarily fed by the southern Ewaso Ngiro River and by hot springs that are rich in minerals.

Once the activities are done, you will drive to Lake Natron Moivaro Tented Camp for relaxation, dinner, and an overnight stay.
