Depart Arusha and travel north through the changing landscapes of the Great Rift Valley toward Lake Natron. The journey moves away from the busier northern safari circuit into increasingly open and remote terrain.
As you approach Lake Natron, the landscape becomes dominated by volcanic formations, escarpments, dry plains and views toward Ol Doinyo Lengai, the prominent active volcano rising south of the lake.
Arrive at your confirmed lodge or tented camp and settle in. Depending on arrival time, weather and the confirmed program, a short guided local nature or cultural experience may be arranged.
Later, meet your local mountain guide for a detailed briefing covering current volcanic conditions, route conditions, equipment, water, weather and the planned Lengai climb.
