    At the lowest point of the Rift valley in East Africa sits the shallow soda lake of Lake Natron. This environment supports algae and zooplankton upon which the flamingos filter feed. The Lake Natron is highly alkali and thus is an ideal location for flamingos to feed and to breed while enjoying relative security from predators. Every evening thousands of pink flamingos fly overhead, exposing the deep garnet feathers under their wings.

    Surrounding the waters edge is a huge expanse of lake flats ideal for walks. Superb panoramic views of the Rift Valley can be seen in all directions.
