A forest-edged lake at the base of the Rift Valley escarpment, known for flamingos along the shore and tree-climbing lions in its groundwater forest. Usually visited as a soft, scenic transition day between Tarangire and Ngorongoro.
Best as a short stop rather than a standalone destination — one game drive is usually enough before continuing on to the crater highlands.
