The Maasai people believed the mountain
was home to the god Eng'ai who signaled her anger with
eruptions and drought. Adventurous visitors sometimes
struggle up its steep slopes to visit the steaming, bubbling
crater but most prefer to view its symmetrical cone from a
distance. See the programe below
Day 1:
It is a tough but
exhilarating off-road drive from Moshi (or Arusha) to the
campsite at Lake Natron. After dinner it is time to relax
and catch some sleep before starting the midnight climb to
the summit of Oldonyo Lengai. It is a strenuous climb.
Reaching the caldera floor at sunrise you will be rewarded
with a glimpse of Mt. Meru. If conditions are good, you may
also see Mt. Kilimanjaro. Rest and absorb the incredible
beauty of the place before starting the descent.
Day 2:
Return to the campsite
for breakfast and rest. Later, a walk from the campsite will
take you to a nearby Massai boma and to visit the waterfalls
at Lake Natron. Return to the campsite for dinner and
overnight camping.
Day 3:
Take a relaxed breakfast and a final drive to the lake shore
to see the mass of flamingoes before beginning the return
journey to Moshi or Arusha.
