About
Pronounced ol doyn-yo len-guy, meaning 'Mountain of God' in the Masai language,
Its hard to leave Tanzania without a song in your heart and head full of memories
As I lie here on the tiled floor of an old rent room
I dream of the pages unknown …
And my soul linger In the shadows of Oldonyo Lengai And my mind
In the calm waters of Natron…
For it is suburbs unknown
That we can find ourselves
For soulmates aren’t people
But lands far away.
— I will attempt the steep, precarious, five-hour-up, five-hour-down climb of Lengai,
By Halla Emaculate
And I pray that when I die
I get buried in nature’s gracefulness
So my heart can rest
Itinerary
Drive from Arusha to Oldoinyo Lengai to Mto Wa Mbu and enter the Great Rift Valley, passing via Engaruaka basin and into a semi-desert Area hot wild and dusty with extinct volcanos Kitumbene and Gelai off to the right and the Mountain of God Ol Doinyo Lengai always in front.
Around midday we arrive at Falls Camp on the banks of the Engaresero river, a welcome place to shower or bathe in the river, or take a trek to the waterfalls hidden in the Western wall of the rift valley. Rest and around mid night drive to and start the climb of Lengai One should be able to see Lava glowing once at the peak. Main Destination:
