The holiday went as clockwork with no hitches anywhere. They were the most helpful company I have ever dealt with and I work within the travel industry.

I booked my safari holiday through AfricanMecca.

Thank you so much for planning and executing a dream for me. Not only did he take care of us, but he truly cared about us.

I just fell in love with Steven, our guide in Tanzania.

If you plan to visit during the wet season, though, you may also consider that roads and trails to and around Lake Natron may be more difficult to traverse, and this could affect the convenience and full availability of activities.

Your lake lodgings may cost less during the rainy season, which is typically the low tourism season. The rainy and dry seasons may also affect the price of Natron accommodations (read more on where else to stay), although the costs associated with travel and safari activities do not change. The flamingos of Natron lay their eggs normally during the end of the dry season in September and October but the hatching starts in the early parts of the wet season, and climaxing by December. The short and long wet spring season from November to May with hot humid spells in January and February, though, brings new life to the area around Lake Natron, and you may prefer a more lush landscape for your African active-adventure safari. You only want to visit during the dry season because it is an excellent time for walking tours around the lake, and also for trekking up Ol Doinyo Lengai. Since this area is not a wildlife destination, the dry season does not see any concentration of wildlife – simply because the lake is highly alkaline, and terrestrial and mammalian life do not drink its waters.

You may choose to schedule your tour of East Africa during the rainy or dry season at Lake Natron. The weather at Lake Natron is primarily hot and mostly dry, and the coolest months are June through August, but some guests find these temperatures tropically warm as well since Tanzania is located just south of the equator. As you plan your AfricanMecca dream safari in northern Tanzania, you should consider the weather and outdoor temperature so that you prepare properly, and also have the opportunity to relax and enjoy your activities.
