About Oldonyo Lengai

Oldonyo Lengai, meaning "Mountain of God" in the Maasai language, is Tanzania's only active volcano and one of the most unique trekking experiences in East Africa. Standing at 2,962 meters, this sacred mountain offers a challenging night trek to witness spectacular sunrise views.

The trek is particularly challenging due to the steep, loose volcanic ash slopes and the night climbing schedule. However, the reward is extraordinary - standing on the rim of an active volcano crater and witnessing the unique natrocarbonatite lava, the coolest lava on Earth.
