Ol Doinyo Lengai (2,962m), known as the *Mountain of God* to the Maasai, is the only active carbonatite volcano in the world. Located near Lake Natron in northern Tanzania, the mountain offers a physically challenging midnight ascent to a breathtaking crater summit overlooking the Rift Valley — with Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru visible on clear days.
This 4-day itinerary includes a visit to Lake Natron, a Maasai cultural experience, natural waterfalls, and the climb itself.
Drive: 5–6 Hours | Accommodation: Tented Camp
Depart Arusha after breakfast and drive north through Maasai country toward Lake Natron. Arrive in the late afternoon and relax at the camp. Enjoy sunset views over the Rift Valley.
Activity Time: 3–5 Hours
Visit Lake Natron — famous for flamingos and dramatic salt flats. Later, take a guided hike to the Engare Sero waterfalls. Return to camp to rest and early dinner in preparation for the midnight climb.
Climb Time: 6–9 Hours Round Trip
Start the ascent around midnight. The trail is steep and challenging, but the reward is a sensational sunrise from the volcanic crater with far-reaching views across the Rift Valley. Descend carefully back to camp for rest and meals.
Drive: 5–6 Hours
After breakfast, begin your return drive to Arusha where the tour ends.
