Visit the great Ol Doinyo Lengai (Mountain of God) This stunning volcanic mountain is located in a remote region of Tanzania near the Gregory Rift, just south of Lake Natron. It’s known by the Maasai people as the “Mountain of God” and its impressive lava fountains harden midair—a real geological oddity. Ol Doinyo Lengai’s erupting hornitos—the fragile rock formations that surround active volcano vents—draw thrill-seeking climbers to its slopes each year. It’s also the only known volcano to spout carbonatite—low-temperature lava that has a black oil-like appearance that moves quickly like water and cools to a whitish powder. Travellers have put this incredible volcano at the top of their bucket lists for several reasons—not the least of which is the truly unique way it erupts. Ol Doinyo Lengai is a scenic place for hiking and climbing and because of its rare lava, the textured hillsides look otherworldly.
