Mount Ol Doinyo Lengai Climb
ount Oldonyo Lengai, the “Mountain of God” in Maasai, stands as a geological marvel and a spiritual icon in Tanzania. An active stratovolcano, Lengai’s unique claim to fame lies in its rare natrocarbonatite lava, the only one of its kind in the world. The trek up this sacred mountain is a challenging endeavor, navigating rugged terrain and steep slopes, where the surrounding landscape is marked by sparse vegetation and volcanic ash. Adventurers who dare to conquer its peak are rewarded with awe-inspiring views stretching across the Great Rift Valley and Lake Natron, a saline lake tinged with vibrant hues, creating a surreal backdrop. Lengai’s mystique extends beyond its geological marvels; it holds a revered place in Maasai culture as a sacred site, embodying spiritual significance and serving as a pilgrimage destination. The ascent of Mount Oldonyo Lengai is not just an adventure; it’s a journey through geological wonders and cultural reverence that leaves an indelible mark on those who seek its summit.

Oliver R2023-12-12THE BEST TOUR AGENCY FOR KILIMANJARO TREKKING AND WILDLIFE SAFARIES This was the first time I had travelled with Mr Lyimo . The company specialises in expert-led cultural and wildlife tours in Tanzania East Africa. Group numbers are small, accommodation at the hotel in Moshi Kilimajaro was comfortable and food excellent. The expert mountain and safari guide who accompanied us was outstanding - passionate, informative, engaging and entertaining. The itinerary for 6 days Climbing Kilimanjaro and 5 Days wildlife safari was very well thought out, combining leisure time with activity and not-to-be-missed opportunities to swim in the Kikuletwa Hot springs ( Maji Moto) . The client is obviously at the heart of the itinerary planning, and attention to detail is second to none. I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting a fun, relaxed, educational holiday with fine food - they will deliver! Thanks Mr Lyimo for your good arrangement.Verified
