A wonderful and unforgettable experience! So much so that I think I'll do it again! - Ol Doinyo Lengai is such a beautiful and special mountain. We didn't have very nice and clear weather on the mountain, at the beginning there was even some rain and it was cloudy. But it was still very beautiful, a little mystical. We were with two guides on mountain: the Maasai guide Issaya and mountain guide Emanuel / PMA Adventure Safari, who also organized everything from Arusha to Arusha. Before climbing, we had a walk to Lake Natron, where pink flamingos gather. We also went on a fantastic canyon walk through the river canyon to beautiful waterfalls. Swimming in the waterfalls was wonderful and fun. We started the hike at midnight and reached the summit before sunrise. We were quite fast, so we had to wait about an hour and a half to go to the top. Reading the reports on the website, you would think that this climb is only for professional climbers. If you are fit, you will climb in 4 hours, spend an hour on the summit and descend in 2 hours. Be positive mentally, listen to your guides and you will have an unforgettable experience. I advise you to go there with a good car and an experienced driver, as the road can be rough. We can barely get through some parts, there were some floods on the road and without a good driver/car I don't know what it would be like. Our team were professional and responsive and helped plan every detail. The knowledgeable and friendly guides made sure the adventure was safe and enjoyable. If you are planning your trip to Tanzania and want to climb mountains, I recommend to contact Emanuel. He is a professional guide, passionate about his work and ready to be by your side from the first day at the airport. His phone number: +255753326575
