Serengeti National Park - Lake Natron

After an early breakfast, leave your accommodation for a morning game drive in the Central Serengeti. This is a great time to spot predators like lions and cheetahs as they are often active before the heat of the day. Around midday, begin your journey toward Lake Natron, exiting the Serengeti through Klein’s Gate. The drive itself is a scenic game drive, offering more chances to see wildlife along the way. You’ll pass through remote Maasai lands with views of mountains and wide open plains. By late afternoon or early evening, you’ll arrive at Lake Natron.
From there, head straight to the lake’s edge to witness the striking sight of thousands of flamingos wading in the shallow, mineral-rich waters. The combination of rugged beauty, colorful birdlife, and dramatic volcanic landscapes makes this a memorable end to the day. After your visit to the lake, settle in at your lodge for the night.
