Transfer from Arusha to Lake Natron

Your adventure begins with pick-up by our professional safari guide from your accommodation or preferred location, followed by a scenic drive through the Great Rift Valley toward Lake Natron.

Lake Natron is one of Tanzania’s most unique and remote destinations, located at the base of the active volcanic mountain, Oldoinyo Lengai. The area offers a rich cultural experience with the Maasai community, where you may visit a traditional village to learn about their customs, lifestyle, and pastoral traditions.

Later, explore the shores of Lake Natron, famous for its alkaline waters and as the primary breeding ground for thousands of flamingos. The lake’s striking red and pink hues create extraordinary photographic opportunities. Depending on time, you may also enjoy a guided walk to nearby waterfalls hidden within the escarpment.

The central Serengeti (Seronera region) is known for its year-round abundance of wildlife due to the Seronera River, which attracts animals throughout the year.

You will enjoy a full-day game drive exploring kopjes (rocky outcrops), open savannah, and riverine areas. Expect to see large herds of zebras and wildebeests, giraffes browsing on acacia trees, elephants, buffalo, and various antelope species. Predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards are commonly sighted in this region. A picnic lunch will be served at a scenic location inside the park before continuing your afternoon game drive.
