#Tanzania lake natron how to#
If you have started to plan a safari, here's some good tips on how to go about this>.Yellow Fever, General Health Advice and Vaccinations for Tanzania.Your RAV, much better than the earlier models, will get you most places as long as you, the driver, help it. So do take it slow and stay alert at all times. A bang underneath that a Land Cruiser would shrug off could deal terminal or expensive damage to your sedan. But that does not mean you cannot drive tracks with a Sedan (you should see where I sometimes take my car back here at home.) BUT you need to be constantly aware of the surface.
Of course the sedans are not 'designed' for rough tracks and rock hopping and lack the body protection of true off roaders such as sump guards and radiator shields let alone 'bull bars'. (That's probably how they got beat up anyway.) For years I drove around Namibia in Avis rental cars like Toyotas with no ill effects. As you will have seen in Namibia the most beat up family sedans use the most extraordinary roads and survive.
A word about "African" driving may help bucket lister. However later visits have been on graded road so whilst still an adventure it is not harzardous. I first went to Natron and Ngero Sero in 1998 and boy was the road rough then. I’m not sure whether or not it would be ok in a RAV 4. The road from Klein’s Gate to Lake Natron makes for an epic trip past Masai and other tribal villages and descending down the Rift Valley - but it is a rough road and takes about 5 hours. I don’t exactly remember the name of the village but I can dig it out for you if you are interested. It’s only $8 per room (although that was my price for 1 person) and they will make you dinner and breakfast. You can stay overnight at a spotlessly clean and hospitable guest house about 30 minutes beyond the park exit at Kleins Gate. However, if you are planning on going to Serengeti and Ngorongoro, I’d highly recommend making a circuit by travelling from Lake Manyara to Ngorongoro to Serengeti and then continuing in due course through Kleins Gate and on to Lake Natron. Heading towards Arusha, it passes Africa Safari’s place around 9.30 am. It’s quite a long and dusty journey between Lake Natron and Arusha - about 6-7 hours and my bus to Arusha was crowded. Transport-wise, no expert is correct in that there are daily buses in each direction to and from Arusha. I only stayed 2 days and nights as I was coming to the end of my 4 weeks in Tanzania but I would happily have stayed longer - just to relax and soak up the atmosphere - and swim in that pool!! It really is a special and relaxing place and at the moment you will likely have it to yourself. For me it was in my top two pools anywhere (up there with a municipal swimming pool in the middle of an oasis in the Algerian Sahara that has lived long in my memory!}. It also has the most wonderful swimming pool with the volcano as a backdrop and birds drinking from the edge of the pool as you swim up and down. It has a wonderful setting, fabulous views, lovely staff, a kind and very helpful manager (Edwin) and prices are still I think much reduced - I also got a complimentary upgrade. I stayed at African Safari Lake Natron Camp. My Masai guide (a requirement for a first walk to the Lake) told me they had never seen so many pelicans there before this year. Seeing them standing and flying around in large groups was spectacular. It’s famous for its flamingoes but on my stay there were also thousands of pelicans. With the volcano, lake and quite arid conditions it’s a very different landscape to other parts of Tanzania. I stayed at Lake Natron at the end of August. The list is based on available data and may be incomplete.Hi! I think no expert may have been referring to me :-). It does indicate whether each species is globally threatened or endangered according to the IUCN and also whether it is migratory, very rare, or accidental in the country. The table below lists species recorded at this locale but does not indicate frequency of occurrence there.
