Lake Natron Halisi Camp

Lake Natron Halisi Camp is a simple, friendly bush camp on a nine-acre concession in light acacia woodland, just south of the lake and the village of Engaresero. From camp you look across to Ol Doinyo Lengai on one side and the Rift Valley escarpment on the other. The land belongs to the village, and guest fees go back into local development.

There are ten extra-large walk-in tents, about seven metres long, which can be set up as doubles, twins, triples or family tents. Each has a veranda and an en-suite bathroom with a toilet, basin and traditional bush shower; hot water is heated and brought to your tent when you ask for it. Lighting is solar and water use is kept to a minimum, so the camp leaves very little trace. A shared lounge, dining and bar tent is the social centre, and there is a campfire every evening.

Maasai guides lead all the outings: the walk to the lake shore to see the flamingos, the gorge walk to the Engaresero waterfalls with a swim at the end, Maasai village visits and, for those who want it, the ascent of Ol Doinyo Lengai. The camp is open all year.
