Ol Donyo Lengai

An overnight ascent to the summit of the famous “Mountain of God”. Climbing the 2,962-meter volcano under moonlight is an unforgettable and mystical experience.
One of the most challenging 1 day climbs in East Africa! Who is ready to take on the challenge?!

This trek is not for the faint of heart, but worth it for the unparalleled views from the top at sunrise. On a clear day you can expect to see the tips of Meru and Kilimanjaro pierce through the horizon to the east. To the north you can see to the far end of Lake Natron, where its northern shores border Kenya. To the west you will be able to see over the escarpment across the Sale Plains to the Gol Mountains in a view that is so spectacular it doesn’t look real!
