A true little oasis about an hours drive into Masailand from Usa River - crystal clear gin water which has been heated to the perfect swimming temperature. little fish nibble your toes and turtles and birdlife share the oasis. The current between the two pools is quite strong so recommend hiring a tube. The oasis is not very large so can get a bit crowded on weekends and holidays. There is a small entrance fee and simple food and drinks available.

Ol Doinyo Lengai, "Mountain of God" in the Maasai language, is an active volcano located in the Gregory Rift, south of Lake Natron within the Arusha Region of Tanzania, Africa.
Ol Doinyo Lengai is a symmetric cone that rises more than 1,800 metres (5,900 ft) above the surrounding rift valley. It has two craters on either side of the mountain summit, which is formed by a 110 metres (360 ft) high ridge. The floor of the northern crater is covered with lava flows that resemble pahoehoe lavas. Small cones with sizes ranging from 2 meters (6 ft 7 in) to over 10 meters (33 ft) occur in the crater and produce lava flows from their summits and, when they collapse, form their flanks.
The volcano is known for its unique, low temperature, carbonatitic lava. Eruptions have been recorded since the late 19th century, consisting of smaller tephra ejections and numerous carbonatitic lava flows on the floor of the summit crater and occasionally down the upper flanks. Activity primarily occurs in the crater offset to the north about 100 m below the summit where hornitos (small cones) and pit craters produce lava flows and spattering. The current eruption period began in April 2017 and more recently has consisted of ongoing thermal activity in the summit crater. Similar activity took place during August 2022 through January 2023.
