So read on to see if Lake Natron is for you. Quite a few find the looming silhouette of Ol Doinyo Lengai in the background of the wide open plains of the lake, a spectacular scenery.
So Lake Natron offers a completely different landscape to the rest of the safari locations in the northern circuit. The algae have a red pigment which in turn makes a huge part of the lake seem red. There is no paranormal activity going on here, it is just natural minerals.īecause the lake is encrusted with so much salt, Spirulina, a species of blue-green algae that absolutely loves salt, started growing here. So as the birds and animals die near the lake, the high content of salt calcifies their dead bodies turning them into stones. The minerals, such as salt, soda, and magnesite, from the volcano, have turned Natron into an incredibly alkaline water body which has also made it deadly for many creatures. Lake Natron is one of the most famous lakes in the Northern circuit and situated close to an active volcano, Ol Doinyo Lengai known for its thin silvery lava. But what’s the big deal? Why such spooky pictures of a lake? Seems like a scene straight out of a Stephen King novel. If you search for Lake Natron, Google will show you some haunting pictures of mummified birds and ruby-red waters.
