It is in the Gregory Rift, which is the eastern branch of the East African Rift. We recommend it as a comfortable, albeit simple, base from which to explore Lake Natron. Lake Natron is a salt or alkaline lake in north Ngorongoro District of Arusha Region in Tanzania. The team bent over backwards to make sure that we enjoyed our stay. When we last visited in June 2008, we also felt that Lake Natron Camp had a great atmosphere. Its simplicity fits the harsh environment anything lavish might have felt gaudy or inappropriate, nestled in amongst the surrounding Maasai villages. The style is unique and there is a sense of adventure in the design itself. Though rather rudimentary, it is also quite fun. Lake Natron Camp is certainly one of the most unusual camps we have ever stayed in. The shallow lake is no more than 3 meters deep at its deepest point. ![]() The Natron lake is mainly fed by water from the southern Ewaso Ng’iro river and mineral-rich hot springs. It’s located in the Gregory Rift, the eastern branch of the East African Rift. The camp also sits alongside a natural spring which feeds into a nearby soda lake − a swim in the cool water is also a great way to combat the heat. Lake Natron is a salt or soda lake in the Arusha region of Tanzania. This allows the light and lovely breeze through, but softens the suns rays and heat dramatically. (Note that this camp is often simply called 'Lake Natron Camp' but should not be confused with the nearby Lake Natron Tented Camp.) It is a very open environment here, so each tent and the main mess tent are sheltered under a thick camouflage netting/mesh.
