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.
