Lake Natron National Park

Lake Natron is a salt lake arranged in northern Tanzania, close to the Kenyan periphery, and essentially upper east of the Ngorongoro Crater, in the eastern piece of Africa's gigantic Great Rift Valley. Settled between moving volcanic inclines and significant pits, Lake Natron sits at without a doubt the base of the break valley – 600m above sea level – and is likely the world's most consuming waterway. The lake is supported by the Southern Ewaso Ng'iro River and besides by mineral-rich natural aquifers. It is exceptionally shallow, under three meters (10 feet) significant, and varies in width depending upon its water level, which changes in light of raised measures of dispersal, leaving unions of salt and various minerals, surprisingly sodium carbonate (natron).

The enveloping country is hot and every now and again dry and dusty – not supportive for development. Regardless, for the people who do visit Natron, they are remunerated with without a doubt the most exciting scene they have ever find in Tanzania. It is expressed, that the experience alone is legitimized, notwithstanding all the difficulty for the perspectives. The stomach settling agent salt body outwardly of the lake is moreover much of the time concealed red or pink by the salt-worshiping microorganisms that live there.

Anyway, it is a critical domain for flamingos and is home to endemic green development, cowardly animals and round the edges even fish that can make due in the fairly less pungent water. The lake is the fundamental common recreating an area in East Africa for the 2.5 million Lesser Flamingoes, whose status of "close undermined" is a result of their dependence.
