OVERVIEW

  • Duration 3 Days

Tour Overview

Experience an unforgettable 3-day journey to one of Africa's most remote and stunning landscapes, nestled at the base of Ol Doinyo Lengai, the "Mountain of God." Starting in Arusha, you will travel to Lake Natron, a wild and rugged area of extraordinary beauty, offering dramatic scenery and cultural significance. Explore the Engero Sero Waterfalls on a guided walk with a local Maasai Guide, where you’ll discover a hidden oasis and enjoy a refreshing swim amidst towering rock walls. Witness the surreal beauty of Lake Natron’s soda flats and the towering presence of the active volcano before preparing for an exhilarating nighttime ascent of Ol Doinyo Lengai. Reaching the summit at sunrise, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the Great Rift Valley, Lake Natron, Mount Kilimanjaro, and the Ngorongoro Highlands. This adventure is a perfect blend of thrilling exploration, cultural immersion, and breathtaking natural beauty, ending with a return to Arusha.

Depart Arusha in the morning and travel to Lake Natron. Wild and remote, it is situated at the base of Africa’s only active volcano, Oldoinyo Lengai, known as the “Mountain of God” to the local Maasai people. The area surrounding Lake Natron contains some of the most harsh and amazing scenery in Africa and is utterly breathtaking.
Together with your Guide, you will be accompanied by a local Maasai Guide and walk up to the Engero Sero Waterfalls. Winding up through the shady gorge you will reach a beautiful natural swimming pool surrounded by steep rock walls showered by cascading spring water where you will have the opportunity to swim.

After breakfast you will walk out across the baked mud to the shores of the great Soda Lake. From here, you can look back at the astonishing view of Oldoinyo Lengai standing tall amongst the rolling hills and flat plains. Its ash-grey color will remind you that this is still an active volcano.
You will return to camp in time for lunch and a leisurely afternoon before enjoying an early dinner and retiring to your tent for some rest.
At approximately 11pm, you will be woken up with tea or coffee and a light snack before meeting your Mountain Guide and beginning your trek into the night.
