Volcanic activity on the mountain has been observed from as far back as 1883, and it is still active today. The Oldoinyo Le Ngai mountain reaches a height of approximately 9442 feet. The Crater Highlands are part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This is a reserve where the local communities live alongside the wildlife.

Meeting Point
At your hotel in Arusha
- We will pick you at your hotel in Arusha.
DAY 1: ARUSHA TO LAKE NATRON
Departing Arusha in the morning you drive to Mtu-wa Mbu (Lake Manyara) for lunch. After lunch you drive north along the bottom of the Great Rift Valley wall to Lake Natron and the village of Ngare Sero at the base of Ol Doinyo Lengai. Overnight at a campsite by the lake.
DAY 2: LAKE NATRON , NAGARESERO TO OLDONYO LENGAI
From Lake Natron to Ngare Sero is a 3-hour walk. Lengai is best approached from the west. Between Ngare Sero and Lengai's lower slopes is another 3 hours walk. The vehicle will go on ahead here so that it is there to take you up this large gully and so saving you at least 6 hours of walking. Overnight camp in the gully.
DAY 3: OLDONYO LENGAI SUMMIT AND BACK TO LAKE NATRON CAMPSITE
A very early start in order to gain as much height as possible in the cool of the morning. Sun hats and a large water in-take are essential. Descend by the same route.
Great care should be taken on the way down: loose volcanic gravel on bare rock makes it perilous going in places. Overnight at the Lake Natron camp site.
DAY 4: LAKE NATRON TO ARUSHA TOWN
Departing after breakfast you drive back to Arusha town. Drop-off.
Ending Point
