Free Information Request Form – Tanzania Climbing
Overlooking Lake Natron and the bushland of Kenya to the north stands the majestic Ol Donyo Lengai. The name means ‘the Mountain of God’ in Maasai, and it is an active volcano and one of Tanzania’s most spectacular and undiscovered climbs. The volcano erupts sporadically, sending small streams of grey lava down the crater rim and spitting hot ash high into the air. The trek to the top of Lengai is very steep and a true challenge. Climbers attempting Ol Doinyo Lengai should have a good level of fitness.
