when to visit Lake Natron

The best time to visit Lake Natron is during the dry season, from June to October, for cooler weather, easier access, stunning pink hues from increased salinity, and prime flamingo viewing (especially August-October) as they gather for breeding. The green season (November-May) offers lush landscapes but difficult roads, while the hottest months (Nov-Feb) can be extremely hot, though flamingo chicks hatch then.
