Lake Natron National Park

Welcome to Lake Natron National Park

Lake Natron National Park, a remote and dramatically beautiful park in northern Tanzania, offers a unique and adventurous safari experience. Dominated by the alkaline waters of Lake Natron and the imposing Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano, the park boasts stark and otherworldly landscapes. While large concentrations of big game are not the primary draw here, Lake Natron is a crucial breeding ground for lesser flamingos and offers stunning scenery.

Lake Natron is home to a specialized ecosystem adapted to the harsh alkaline environment. The park's most famous residents are the millions of lesser flamingos that congregate on the lake to breed. Other wildlife includes giraffes, zebras, oryx, gazelles, and various smaller mammals and birds. The dramatic landscapes, including the lake's shimmering surface, the surrounding volcanic hills, and the towering Ol Doinyo Lengai, are the park's main attractions.
