Transfer to Ol Doinyo Lengai Mountain

Your adventure will begin from Arusha, departing early morning to the wild and remote Ngaresero village, where this mountain is situated and surrounded by Lake Natron. It contains some of the harshest and most amazing scenery in Africa and is utterly breathtaking. Your drive will take 6 hours. Upon arrival, you will visit Lake Natron to see flamingos.
Later on, you will enjoy your lunch and then rest at your camp waiting for the mountain climbing, which starts around midnight due to the hotter temperatures during the day.
At approximately 11 pm, 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.

On this day, you'll continue your climb in the early hours of the morning, intending to reach the summit in time to witness the sunrise as it illuminates the Great Rift Valley below.

Together with your guide, you will explore the peak and enjoy a picnic breakfast at the summit of active Mount Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano before beginning your climb down the mountain.
