Tour Overview

Experience an unforgettable 3-day journey to one of Africa's most remote and stunning landscapes, nestled at the base of Ol Doinyo Lengai, the "Mountain of God." Starting in Arusha, you will travel to Lake Natron, a wild and rugged area of extraordinary beauty, offering dramatic scenery and cultural significance. Explore the Engero Sero Waterfalls on a guided walk with a local Maasai Guide, where you’ll discover a hidden oasis and enjoy a refreshing swim amidst towering rock walls. Witness the surreal beauty of Lake Natron’s soda flats and the towering presence of the active volcano before preparing for an exhilarating nighttime ascent of Ol Doinyo Lengai. Reaching the summit at sunrise, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the Great Rift Valley, Lake Natron, Mount Kilimanjaro, and the Ngorongoro Highlands. This adventure is a perfect blend of thrilling exploration, cultural immersion, and breathtaking natural beauty, ending with a return to Arusha.

Depart Arusha in the morning and travel to Lake Natron. Wild and remote, it is situated at the base of Africa’s only active volcano, Oldoinyo Lengai, known as the “Mountain of God” to the local Maasai people. The area surrounding Lake Natron contains some of the most harsh and amazing scenery in Africa and is utterly breathtaking.
Together with your Guide, you will be accompanied by a local Maasai Guide and walk up to the Engero Sero Waterfalls. Winding up through the shady gorge you will reach a beautiful natural swimming pool surrounded by steep rock walls showered by cascading spring water where you will have the opportunity to swim.
Accomodation
Africa Safari Lake Natron.
After breakfast you will walk out across the baked mud to the shores of the great Soda Lake. From here, you can look back at the astonishing view of Oldoinyo Lengai standing tall amongst the rolling hills and flat plains. Its ash-grey color will remind you that this is still an active volcano.
You will return to camp in time for lunch and a leisurely afternoon before enjoying an early dinner and retiring to your tent for some rest.
At approximately 11pm, you will be woken up with tea or coffee and a light snack before meeting your Mountain Guide and beginning your trek into the night.
Accomodation
Africa Safari Lake Natron.
Your climb will continue into the early hours of the morning before reaching the summit in time to witness the sun rise as it illuminates the Great Rift Valley below. The views are breathtaking. To the north you will see the salt flats of Lake Natron and in the distance, the Kenyan border. To the east you will see Mount Kilimanjaro and the Great Rift Valley and to the south stretches the Ngorongoro Highlands and Ngorongoro Crater.
Together with your Guide, you will explore the peak and enjoy a picnic breakfast before beginning your climb down the mountain where you will be welcomed back with lunch before returning to Arusha where you safari ends upon arrival.

    The Perfect Tanzania Safari Experience

    We had an amazing experience with this company from start to finish and would highly recommend them to anyone visiting Tanzania. Joseph was always quick to respond to our questions, very friendly, and completely transparent with pricing. The rates were fair and competitive, and there were no hidden surprises. All of the accommodations exceeded our expectations—they were comfortable, well-located, and added so much to the overall experience.

    Unbelievable 5 day of safari, experience for lifetime. 5 stars 🌟 lol

    We had a 5 day safari to Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro NP. The lodges were we were staying were wonderful, the meals too. Our driver Hillary was so smart and he took us to the best spots to see all animals that are possible to see, even rhinos. It was a lifetime experience for us, 5 stars 🌟

    A wonferful and unforgettable chimpanzees safari in Mahale Mountains

    My partner and I had the great opportunity to go on a chimpanzee safari in the Mahale Mountains. We are delighted. It was an extraordinary experience! Everything was extremely well organized and went perfectly. Communication with Joseph was very easy: he always responded quickly to my many questions and did everything to meet our expectations. We had the opportunity to design an itinerary together that matched our wishes.

    Well coordinated, great guides, and support staff.

    Tanzania Inside and Safari arranged our 8-day climb to Mt. Kilimanjaro on the Rongai Route. The guides were experienced, considerate and compassionate. The chef and waiter were great at make sure our meals were nutritious and wholesome every meal. The tent team and the porters were excellent too: always on time and perfectly set every day. On the summit day, Andrew, the guide, was the reason a team member who was unlikely to make it made it to Uhuru Peak, made it.

    An Unforgettable Journey – Highly Recommended!

    Our trip through Tanzania was absolutely amazing and very individually tailored to us. The agency organized everything for us during our stay: accommodations, transfers, domestic flights, activities and, of course, the guides. From the beginning, we felt that our wishes were truly taken into account. What we appreciated most was the individual way the activities were planned. Even in places with many tourists, the team always found a way to create special experiences for us.
