Ol Doinyo Lengai, rising 2,886 meters above the Great Rift Valley in northern Tanzania, is one of the most extraordinary mountains in the world. Its name means “The Mountain of God” in the Maasai language, reflecting its spiritual significance to the local people. This active volcano is famous for producing rare carbonatite lava, the only one of its kind on Earth, which flows almost as easily as water. Beyond its geological uniqueness, Ol Doinyo Lengai offers adventurous climbers a challenging trek and the chance to witness breathtaking views of the sunrise over the Rift Valley, Mount Kilimanjaro, and Lake Natron.
