stunning landscapes of Lake Natron. Along the way, pass traditional Maasai villages, ancient
volcanic formations, and rugged escarpments that define this wild region. Arrive at Lake Natron
in the afternoon for lunch before exploring its surreal shoreline, home to millions of flamingos
and striking salt-crystal patterns. Visit a local Maasai community to experience their traditions
and way of life, then continue to the scenic Ngare Sero waterfalls for a refreshing walk amid lush
canyon walls. As the day ends, drive to your lodge for dinner and relax, preparing for the
thrilling midnight ascent of Ol Doinyo Lengai.
