Lake Natron
Huge magnificent baobab trees, the
Tarangire River, and volcanic mountain ranges add to Lake Natron is a salt lake
in Tanzania’s Rift Valley, located north of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area,
near the Kenyan border. Oldoinyo Lengai, an active volcano, dominates the
landscape here. The surrounding area is semi-arid and dusty. Though millions of
flamingos make their home on the lake, feeding on algae, not much else is
supported by this hot, harsh habitat. The only fish in these waters is the
alkaline tilapia. The lake is 170 square miles wide and less than 10 feet deep,
but the size of the body of water varies depending on the precipitation and
evaporation. Between July and October is the flamingo’s breeding season and the
best time to visit. However, visitors to this place come more for the scenery
than for the wildlife.
