Also known as the “Great Wall of Africa Trek” takes you through some of Tanzania’s magnificent landscapes and fascinating cultures. Trek though the Maasai villages in the highlands to the depths of the Empakai Crater. From the base of the majestic Mt. Oldonyo Lengai to the shores of the beautiful Lake Natron, the trek is accompanied by a tour of the Ngorongoro Crater one of the new 7 Natural Wonders of Africa.
The Lengai is located along the East African Rift Valley wall escarpment north-east of the NGORONGORO highlands. The mountain of God is the most unique active volcano in the world mainly because it erupts Natrocarbonatite lava; (a much cooler liquid and non sticky black/grayish crude oil like lava) with temperatures of over 500°C, unlike the other volcanoes which produces basaltic lava with temperatures rising above 1,100°C.
The less violent active volcano has been witnessed by many volcano enthusiasts ever since the early seventy's and has become a great attraction of late. While the lava flow appears like a white water flowing streams and brownish mud they form into solidified lava crystals that reflect sharp sparks when hit by rays. The low gas content lava glows to extreme red-orange pool during the dark within the crater rim and around the solidified peaks of volcanic lava cones creating a spectacular display.
Why this adventure? For active types Tanzania has a lot to offer and this is one of the most dramatic hikes in East Africa as well as the amazing scenery there is also the chance to witness the changing lives of the Maasai in both Ngorongoro and Lake Natron.
