Oldonyo
LeNgai ("Mountain of God")
Oldonyo LeNgai (3450 meters) is an active volcano on
the southern shore of Lake Natron. This impressive peak is
revered by the Maasai as the sacred home of God. A nearly
perfect cone, it still erupts occasionally and you may have
the opportunity to walk on still-steaming new ground. It is
a tough drive about 3 hours off the main road between Arusha
and Ngorongoro. Once at camp, you can go to a waterfall and
relax in the river, or drive out to the shoreline of Lake
Natron and see the massive flamingo colonies wading in the
shallows.
Oldoinyo Lengai is the only active Sodium
Carbonite Volcano in the world. This trip will
take you to Lake Natron to view the flamingo breeding centre
as well as taking you to the summit of this amazing volcano.
This trip is 4
days long and is perfect to take either before or after a
Kilimanjaro
Climb.
Oldonyo LeNgai Climb - 2 Days We will try to go to
sleep early (maybe 6:30 or 7pm) because we must get up at
midnight and get to the trailhead by 1:15am. It is an exhilarating
climb to the summit and we should reach the caldera floor
just in time to see the sun rising behind Mt. Meru far, far
in the distance. Further still, on the edge of our view, is
Mt. Kilimanjaro. stay a while and bask in the incredible beauty
of the place before starting our descent.
