Located in northern Tanzania near the Kenyan border, Lake Natron is one of the most otherworldly landscapes in East Africa. This shallow, alkaline soda lake is famous as the primary breeding ground for East Africa’s lesser flamingos, hosting millions of the elegant birds during peak season. The lake’s striking red and pink hues, caused by mineral-rich waters and algae, create a surreal and unforgettable setting.

The scenery is equally dramatic—towering above the lake is Ol Doinyo Lengai, the “Mountain of God,” an active volcano sacred to the Maasai. Its slopes, along with surrounding craters, gorges, and waterfalls, make Lake Natron an excellent destination for hiking, exploration, and photography.

With Redream Safaris, travelers can enjoy cultural experiences with local Maasai communities, trek to cascading waterfalls, witness flamingo colonies, or even take on the adventurous climb up Ol Doinyo Lengai for a sunrise view over the Rift Valley. This is a place where natural wonder, wildlife, and culture blend seamlessly into a truly unique adventure.
