Visiting in 2008, we loved this cool walk after the heat of the lakeside – and had a very refreshing swim before we headed back down to the camp. The activities from Ngare Sero Camp include a walk to the Engaro Sero Falls, a three-hour round trip which cuts through a rocky gorge, complete with bubbling shallow river, until you reach the waterfalls. Ngare Sero Lake Natron Camp are also involved in various other community projects that have been requested by the villagers themselves. These proceeds are collected into a fund, which is used for the advancement of primary and secondary education in the area.

As a simple form of 'ground rent' for their spot beside the lake, the camp pays the village $20 per guest per night plus an annual rental fee. The camp has a special concession with the village of Engare Sero, which lies only 7km away. Ngare Sero is also highly involved with the local community. The camp is designed, so that if it were dissembled, there would be no trace of it and the landscape could be totally restored.

The tents each have a compost toilet and the water comes from the natural spring where an osmosis filter system makes it safe for drinking.

The camp also sits alongside a natural spring which feeds into a nearby soda lake − a swim in the cool water is also a great way to combat the heat.ĭue to its close location to the lake, Ngare Sero Lake Natron Camp makes a concerted effort to be very environmentally aware. This allows the light and lovely breeze through, but softens the suns rays and heat dramatically. (Note that this camp is often simply called 'Lake Natron Camp' but should not be confused with the nearby Lake Natron Tented Camp.) It is a very open environment here, so each tent and the main mess tent are sheltered under a thick camouflage netting/mesh. Situated close to Lake Natron, Ngare Sero Lake Natron Camp sits on the surrounding grassy flats.
