Natron African Safari Lodge

Welcome to Africa Safari Lake Natron, a luxurious retreat situated on the edge of one of Tanzania’s most extraordinary natural phenomena, Lake Natron. This lodge is not just a place to rest; it’s a gateway to explore the dramatic landscapes of the Northern Circuit, surrounded by the harsh beauty of a lava desert and the high alkalinity of Lake Natron, known for being the world’s most significant breeding site for Lesser Flamingos. Here, nature paints the lake in shades of pinkish-red, offering a visual spectacle like no other.

The lodge caters to different tastes with its variety of accommodations, from simple Safari Tents for those seeking the essence of safari life to the opulence of Glamping Safari Tents for those who wish to indulge in luxury under canvas. Each accommodation option ensures that guests wake up to the mesmerizing views of the soda lake and the active volcano, Mount Ol Doinyo Lengai, providing a backdrop that’s both awe-inspiring and humbling.

Your day can start with a swim in the pool that overlooks the volcano, followed by a meal at the elevated restaurant where you might spot giraffes or zebras in the distance. The evenings are for gathering around the campfire, sharing stories of the day’s adventures under the African stars, or planning your next day’s excursions at the reception and information desk.
