     Nearly all of Lake Manyara’s 1.5 million Greater and Lesser Flamingos have migrated to Lake Natron and other Soda lakes in Northern Tanzania and Southern Kenya for the annual Breeding season. Both Lake Manyara and Natron are “Soda” lakes located in Northern Tanzania.

   The Flamingos use the lakes abundant algae Blooms as a source of food. Throughout December and May, the Flamingos return from the Northern lakes with their young and stay in Lake Manyara until Sep-Oct when they migrate North again. At the moment Lake Manyara is in the heart of the dry season with water levels low and Alkaline levels High.
