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.
