Tanzania 2012-2013 - Days 8 & 9

I have travelled a lot in my life and last december, I was in Tanzania with my father and sister for a safari trip. For 12 days, we would see mountains, plains, lakes and forests full of wildlife.

Day 8 - To Lake Natron

Today is a driving day, so no stress. We stop to eat lunch in front of the Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano and arrive early to the campsite to take advantage of the nice weather.

The Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano. Tonight, my sister will hike up the active volcano with a Maasai guide of the area. I don't dare!

We've seen a lot of goat herds and here is a little group hanging out there.

Day 9 - Lake Natron

Rest day! It's been fun so far, but exhausting. We enjoy the day at the campsite while we wait for my sister to return from her climb up the Ol Doinyo Lengai active volcano. In the afternoon, while she rest, we will go down to the lake to see the wildlife.

Lake Natron, house of so many birds species.

There is two kinds of flamingoes living at Lake Natron, the white and the pink flamingoes.

It's the mating season, so males build these nest and the females decide which nest suits her the most.

Also, when the sun sets, all of the little birds of that specie fly from around to the campsite toall sleep in the same place.

End of days eight and nine.

*Our whole trip was organized by Base Camp Tanzania and we had a wonderful time!*
