Ol Donyo Lengai
Tanzania

Overlooking lake Natron and the bushland of Tanzania, Ol Donyo Lengai, which means " the home of God" in maasai, is an active volcano and one of Tanzania's most spectacular and undiscovered climbs. The volcano erupts sporadically, sending streams of grey lava down the crater rim and spitting hot ash high into the air. The climb, undertaken over night so hikers can experience sunrise over the Rift Valley escarpment, is highly challenging.

Pictures follow soon.

Lake Natron is a soda lake at the base of the active Ol Donyo Lengai volcano. The area around Lake Natron is often described as having a desolate and almost lunar beauty. Walks around the lake and to the streams and waterfalls along the nearby escarpment make for a fantastic adventure.
