Your driver/guide will pick you up at your hotel in Arusha in the morning and drive for about 2 hours before leaving the main road. The ride will take you over bumpy paths, through remote Masai areas with stunning views of Ol Doinyo Lengai, the “mountain of God”. This area is not suitable for wildlife viewing, but if you’re lucky, you might see some zebras, wildebeests, baboons, giraffes, and other wildlife.

The drive takes around 4–5 hours in total (you’ll stop for lunch) and once you arrive at the entrance gate area, a local Masai guide will take you to your accommodation. Visiting this whole area without a local guide is not allowed, so any excursion you do will be in his presence. You’ll check in and have time to freshen up, after which you’ll head to the lake.

Accompanied by our Tanzania Safari Guide, you’ll explore Lake Natron on foot. The ground is quite slippery and muddy, so be prepared to slowly slide over it to avoid falling. It’s very shallow for quite some time, though, so it’s up to you to see how far you want to go to get close to the flamingos. You will stay until sunset, as this is the time when the Lake Natron flamingos are most active, looking for food. After the visit, you’ll return to your accommodation, where dinner will be served.

The day starts early today, as we want to hike to a nearby waterfall before it gets too warm and leave enough time to comfortably get back to Arusha before it gets too dark. The hike takes about 1 to 2 hours and takes you through the beautiful landscapes surrounding Lake Natron. Get ready to get wet, as you’ll have to cross the river a few times!

Once you finish your hike, you’ll start heading back to Arusha for another 4 hours. Lunch will be provided on the way. This is the end of our 2 Days Lake Natron Safari in Tanzania.
