Lake Natron is a salt or soft drink lake not far from Lake Manyara in northern Tanzania. It is located in the Gregory Rift, the eastern branch of the East African Rift. The lake lays at the foot of the Ol Doinyo Lengai, an active volcano.

Lake Natron is quite shallow, less than three metres deep, and varies in width depending on its water level. The lake is 57 kilometres long and 22 kilometres wide. The area receives irregular seasonal rainfall, mainly between December and May. The temperatures at the lake are often over 40 ° C.

As the fresh water evaporates in the lake, water with high concentrations of salt minerals such as sodium and trona remains. The alkalinity of the lake can reach a pH level of more than 12. Special bacteria and blue algae thrive in this environment and form an ideal breeding ground for the life of birds. Such halophilic organisms include some cyano bacteria that, like plants, produce their own food through photosynthesis. The red pigment in those cyano bacteria produces the deep red colours of the lake’s waters and the orange colours in the shallow areas. Salt-loving microorganisms living there are colouring the alkali salt crust on the surface of the lake is red or pink.

Mount Oldonyo Lengai
This active volcano was named the mountain of God’ by the local Maasai tribe, after they witnessed an eruption, its last eruption happened in 2008. It is regarded as divine by the Maasai tribe and they go to this mountain to pray for rain, children etc. The lava of Ol Doinyo Lengai is unique compared to other volcanoes. Due to this unusual composition, the lava erupts at relatively low temperatures of approximately 510 °C and is the fastest flowing lava recorded. The temperature is so low that the molten lava appears black in sunlight, rather than having the red glow common to most lavas. This lava is susceptible to rapid wearing out , it quickly turns from black to grey in colour resulting in a unique landscape.
