About Ol Doinyo Lengai
The Mountain of God
Northern Tanzania, just south of Lake Natron
Ol Doinyo Lengai, the Maasai ‘Mountain of God’, is an active volcano near Lake Natron — a steep, otherworldly cone climbed overnight to reach its summit for sunrise.
The surrounding Rift landscape of soda lake, waterfalls and flamingos is among the most striking in Tanzania.
