Tanzania Day Trip

Ol Doinyo Lengai

An intense, off-the-beaten-path expedition to the active stratovolcano revered by the Maasai as the 'Mountain of God.' Rising sharply from the arid floor of the Rift Valley near Lake Natron, this challenging day trek is a steep, demanding ascent designed for adventurous climbers seeking raw volcanic geology and surreal landscapes.

From $1,141 per person
