Only one species of fish can live in the lake itself – alkaline telapias. By the way, in order to see flamingos in Tanzania, it is better to fly to Natron in the summer – this is the breeding season in birds. For “sunset children” this is an ideal place – because of the increased salt balance, predators and other birds try not to get close to the lake. Lake Natron is home to only 3 species of microorganisms, as well as the birthplace of 75% of flamingos living on Earth.

The average depth of the Natron is 1.5 meters, and in the deepest places – 3 meters. In the warmest months, the temperature of the water in the pond can exceed 50-60 ° C. It reaches no more than 57 km in length and about 21 km in width. The lake is located near the border of Tanzania with Kenya, and covers an area of slightly less than 1040 sq.m.
And this can lead to the extinction of unique microorganisms living in the pond.
Due to the global environmental changes that are taking place in the world, in the near future there is a great threat that the salt balance may be disturbed in the unique composition of the Natron. Natron is the most saline and alkaline reservoir not only in East Africa, but also in the world, and the characteristic muddy red color is just a dense crust of salt that covers the lake. The masses became aware of the existence of an unusual reservoir relatively recently: a few years ago photos of Lake Natron in Tanzania were published in a British magazine.
It is famous for the fact that the water in the lake has a bright red color, and the birds that once flew over this place turn into salty stones. Lake Natron is one of Tanzania’s most famous natural attractions.
