Day 2

Natron

Natron

We will pick you up at your hotel around 9:00am and drive you to Lake Natron, located seventy miles away from Arusha in the arid and beautiful Rift Valley. This alkaline lake is inhospitable by most wildlife apart from flocks of flamingos that rise above the water in rosy formation. In fact, the lake is the primary breeding ground for lesser flamingo in East Africa, with more than two million individual birds gathering to the area every year. After lunch you will be able to enjoy a nice walk around the lake and a magical sunset. We suggest an early dinner and ample rest before your midnight summit attempt.

Hiking duration: 8 to 10 hours
You will start your hike right after midnight to reach the summit of the volcano in time for the most amazing sunrise you’ll probably ever experience in your life. The ascent takes from 5 to 7 hours and the trek is physically demanding but once you will reach the top you will get a breathtaking 360° view over Lake Natron and the truly astonishing surrounding landscape that looks belonging to Mars. The descend will take you 2 to 3 hours. Once arrived our driver will get you back to your accommodation for a well-deserved relaxation time, dinner and overnight.

We expect to be back in town around 4pm although we are flexible in case there is a change of plans.
