People seeking pure, authentic cultural experiences get their kicks today as we visit The Maasai Steppe Conservancy. It lies between the Tarangire National Park and the Simanjiro Plains within the Northern Safari Circuit. Safaris in the Maasai Steppe offer a wonderful and diverse experience you won’t forget any time soon. This area is vital and ecologically important for the wildlife and people of northern Tanzania. Nearly 92% of this critical ecosystem is designated as Maasai land, where livestock production is the main source of income. Maintaining healthy grazing areas for their cattle is crucial for both the Maasai and the wildlife dependents in this arid environment. Our downhill zigzagging leads us over some gravel and partly tarred road surface.

Tarangire – Lake Natron

Today it gets rocky, dusty and sandy, as we ride165 km east on winding gravel surfaces and out into the savannah landscape of the Maasai plains. We make our way to the Great Rift Valley, at the foot of which stands the mighty Ol Donyo Lengai volcano. The Ol Donyo Lengai is an active volcano that last erupted in 2007 -2008. The Maasai see it as the seat of their god “Ngai”. The almost-perfect cone of this big boy rises above an area of astonishing barren beauty. At the foot of the mountain is an area of stony desert. Here we will find the cones of small extinct volcanoes and Lake Natron, a huge soda lake that stretches to the Kenyan border. Flamingos come here to breed, and in the late midday sun the colorful flamingo colonies make a spectacular sight, adding a splash of colour on the shimmering water.
