    Lesser Flamingo invasion at Momella lakes, Tanzania A moment to remember on our Tanzania trip. Momella lakes consists of 3 lakes, 1 small, 2 big. This is one of the big lakes. There are so many flamingos here that the lake has a pink outline, reaching far beyond this view. These flamingos come here to feed on very specific algae, that grow well in the soda-rich waters. As feeding is easier for them standing than swimming, every undeep spot at the lake is taken. Africa,Arusha,Arusha National Park,Lesser Flamingo,Phoenicopterus minor,Tanzania
