Tanzania is really a land of diversity: lakes, salt lakes, mountains, volcanoes, ocean, savannah, craters… and by the way, Flying Medical Service has booked me for the same tour of mobile clinics next Thursday! So coool. That lake is so ever changing on a quick pace, curious to see what will be on show.
some trees near the shoreline of salt lake Natron. Notice the “parallel” curves (I know my math teachers would stroke at this statement) but they clearly show the various water marks left by evaporation. Except the curve very near the brown ground: tyre tracks used by the really rare travellers out there. The black part is deeper water.
at some point near the end of the dry season, nearly the whole lake looks abstract like this with many combinations of colors and patterns. Red or blue or yellow or black…, white salt islands or giant oyster shapes, even galaxy or marble patterns…endless really.
this part is totally dried up. Animal footprints, from wildebeests, zebras or ostriches…
near a delta, it looks like water flowing though mud and algae.
another part of the delta, where water is carving its way through salt.
Shombole, an extinct volcano on the Kenyan border.
lake Natron is the main breeding place for flamingoes in east Africa. But they can be spotted on a few other lakes too in the Rift valley.
