Trekking Details

ARUSHA - MTO WA MBU (ADJACENT TO LAKE MANYARA)
Discover Mto wa Mbu, a bustling, thriving market town and second home to Africat. The resident people are Maasai and Mbulu tribes, though nearly all of Tanzania’s many ethnic groups can be found here at some time or another.

Mingle with these diverse races and get to know about their language, culture and lifestyles as you spend a full day and night with Twiga Campsite & Lodge as your base.

MANYARA - LAKE NATRON
Venture into the African bush as we drive from Manyara to Lake Natron, breeding grounds of the endangered lesser flamingo. Visit the gentle waterfalls and swim, if you wish, in the small pool at their base while nonchalant baboons watch from the surrounding rocks.

Set off to your campsite in the foothills of Oldonyo Lengai, the Maasai Mountain of God, and relax, eat -and sleep early, in preparation for your midnight climb.

OLDONYO LENGAI - SUMMIT (11,318 FT) - MTO WA MBU
Rise at midnight and start your climb of Oldonyo Lengai with your Maasai Guide. Listen to his stories, beliefs and legends about his ‘Mountain of God’ as you climb the steep slopes of this still-active volcano to greet the sunrise at eleven thousand feet above the surrounding plains.

Gaze in awe at the bubbling lava and steaming geysers of Lengai’s crater and watch the sun rise on Kilimanjaro, 250 km away. Make your way down to the base before this same sun hits the treeless slopes and drive back to camp for a sustaining lunch. Now is the time to drive back through the bush to Mto wa Mbu for a relaxing night before your journey back to Arusha tomorrow.
