Mount Oldonyo Lengai: Trek Tanzania's Sacred 'Mountain of God' & Natrocarbonatite Volcano Sydney
- Location: Sydney, Sydney, Australia
Discover Mount Oldonyo Lengai, the 'Mountain of God' (Ol'doinyo Lenkai) in Tanzania's Great Rift Valley near Lake Natron. Standing at approximately 2,880m, this active volcano is a geographical marvel, being the only one in the world to erupt Natrocarbonatite lava. This unique, cooler lava quickly turns a symbolic white, which the local Maasai people believe represents the white beards of their Creator, Enkai. The mountain is a sacred site where the Maasai conduct prayers to their God, Enkai.
Climbing Lengai is a tough, yet non-technical, and highly gratifying adventure best suited for experienced hikers due to its steep, challenging volcanic terrain. Treks typically begin at midnight, culminating in a breathtaking sunrise view from the summit across the Great Rift Valley and horizon. A visit to this sacred site can be an extraordinary Tanzania day trip or a multi-day itinerary. Easily combine your trek with cultural visits to nearby Maasai villages or excursions to Lake Natron, famous for its vast flamingo populations and dramatic birdlife. Experience a truly unique blend of geological wonder, adrenaline, and deep cultural heritage in Northern Tanzania. https://www.kilitrips-tz.com/mount-oldonyo-lengai.php
