Oldonyo Lengai

Known as the “Mountain of God” by the local Maasai, Oldonyo Lengai is an active volcano located in northern Tanzania, near the shores of Lake Natron. This unique stratovolcano is notable for its unusual, carbonatite lava, which flows at lower temperatures than typical basaltic lava, resulting in a striking black or gray appearance. Climbing Oldonyo Lengai offers a challenging yet rewarding adventure, with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape and the chance to witness volcanic activity up close. Its remote location and dramatic geological features make it a fascinating destination for trekkers and geology enthusiasts seeking a distinctive experience.
