It included the Empakaai Crater hike, Olmoti Crater hike, and climbing Ol Doinyo Lengai.īOOK YOUR OL DOINYO LENGAI CLIMB & NGARE SERO WATERFALL HIKE: I did my Ol Doinyo Lengai climb with Altezza Travel and it was an incredible trip. Ngare Sero Waterfall was part of a four-day expedition I did with Altezza Travel. As I mentioned earlier, most people visit several attractions in the area to get value out of their permits including Ol Doinyo Lengai and Lake Natron. Firstly, you will need to pay the park fees and permit to enter the Lake Natron Area. To enter Ngare Sero, you will need to have done prior organization and it isn’t a hike you can do independently. However it is an important habitat for flamingos and is home to endemic algae, invertebrates and round the margins even fish that can survive in the slightly less salty water.GUIDES AND PERMITS FOR NGARE SERO WATERFALL HIKE The high temperature (up to 41☌) and the high and very variable salt content of the lake does not support wildlife. Salt marshes and freshwater wetlands around the edges of the lake do support a variety of plants. The lake falls within the Lake Natron Basin Wetlands of International Importance Ramsar Site.

The surrounding country is dry and receives irregular seasonal rainfall. It is quite shallow, less than three meters (10 feet) deep, and varies in width depending on its water level, which changes due to high levels of evaporation, leaving concentrations of salt and other minerals, notably sodium carbonate (natron). The lake is fed by the Southern Ewaso Ng'iro River and also by mineral-rich hot springs. Lake Natron is a salt lake located in northern Tanzania, close to the Kenyan border, in the eastern branch of the East African Rift.
