Lake Natron,

Lake Natron is famous for flamingos, so in the morning we met our walking guide, Moinga. As it is near the end of the dry season, the lake is very low and the edge is rather mucky. We walked as close as we could to the shoreline. We could see the pinkish colour of the birds and hear the clamor of around a million birds! Looking thru binoculars we could differentiate between the greater (mostly white with a long neck) and the lesser (pink and shorter neck) flamingos.

On our retire from the lake we were approached by Maasai to buy trinkets They are very determined bargainers. Fred ended up buying Deb and I each a braclet made of porcupine quills.
