Seventy-five percent of the world's lesser flamingos are born on Lake Natron. Lake Natron is an alkaline lake in the Arusha Region of northern Tanzania. High levels of evaporation have left behind natron (sodium carbonate decahydrate) hence the name. The alkalinity of the lake can reach a pH of greater than 12 and temperatures at the lake are frequently above 40 °C (104 °F). #Africa #Tanzania #lake

Located near Ngorngoro Crater and Lake Natron, the towering volcano, Ol Doinyo Lengai (translated to Mountain of God) towers over the Maasai village that I was fortunate enough to live in for a week. The domas in the foreground are constructed entirely of mud, manure, sticks, and straw. A beautiful, harsh environment. #Tanzania #Maasai #homestay #lakenatron #volcano
If your up for a muddy three hour hike up a mountain you will be rewarded with an isolated cove hiding a spectacular waterfall.
Walking some off-the-beaten-paths around Usa River in Tanzania. The scenery is amazing, with Mt. Meru in the background, almost everywhere. Sometimes one can see the mighty Kilimanjaro as well, or so I hear. Warm and nice, but bit hazy weather as the rain season is about to start. #mountains #tanzania #scenery #landscape

Panorama of zebra and wildebeest at a waterhole in the Masai Mara

Maasai Mara

Our experience with visiting a Maasai village was a bitter sweet affair, although we did get interesting insights into their culture, tradition and beliefs. Maasai are famous for their jumping, which is a way for the guys to impress the ladies - Dave got some decent height so he had some good prospects in this village. It only costs 10 cows per wife (you can have as many as you like) - quite a bargain! One downer was that they just saw us as walking ATMs... We paid $50 USD to enter the village but when they realised that we didn't have any more cash with us to buy souvenirs from their 'shop' we quickly got escorted through the back door... #indigenouspeoplesday #Maasai #Tanzania #Africa #thewayfindings #travel #explore

Verreaux's Eagle Owl at Ndutu Forest Tanzania

Sinoni

Quite a treck out of the city and into the Masai tribal lands, but worth the long dala ride. Don't miss this cultural center that also houses some of the more deadly residents of Tanzania, such as the black mamba.
