The road to and around Lake Natron led through Africa’s famous Rift Valley. It presented moment after stunning moment of new sights – both cultural and natural. Highlights included time spent with members of the local Maasai tribes, including a stop at a local market, a number of craftswomen selling their jewelry at a volcanic crater.
