Looking to see the best of Tanzania in a few days? Explore 1 iconic beautiful Mountain in northern Tanzania during this 3 Days Camping Mount Oldoinyo Lengai & Lake Natron: Mount Oldoinyo Lengai, often referred to as “The Mountain of God” by the Maasai people, is a unique and iconic stratovolcano located in northern Tanzania, near Lake Natron. It stands as the only active volcano in the world that produces natrocarbonatite lava, a type of lava that is extremely rare and is cooler in temperature compared to other lavas, allowing it to flow more easily.
One of the most distinctive features of Oldoinyo Lengai is its conical shape and ashy slopes, which are the result of frequent eruptions over the years. Despite its relatively modest elevation of approximately 2,878 meters (9,442 feet), the climb to the summit can be challenging due to the loose volcanic ash and steep inclines.
