The Ol Doinyo Lengai Climb

One of the lesser known treks in Tanzania, the Ol Doinyo Lengai hike is one of the most scenic and unique treks one can do, even as a beginner. The Ol Doinyo Lengai climb takes place on an active volcano, one of the few that erupts natrocarbonatite lava, and features unique landscape formations that have developed as a result of years of eruptions.

The name directly translates to “Home of Gods”, and rightly so. On your Ol Doinyo Lengai hike, you’ll visit the ethereal Lake Natron, trek to the Ngarasero Waterfall, and enjoy views the surrounding East African Rift Valley.

Highlights of the Ol Doinyo Lengai climb:

• Hike up an active volcano and watch fresh lava flowing in the distance on the Ol Doinyo Lengai hike
• Visit iconic sites like Lake Natron, Ngarasero Waterfall, and more
• Enjoy a quick 2-day hike in the East African Rift Valley
