DAY 3: OL DONIYO LENGAI

An approximate 5 hour journey through the stunning northern Tanzania terrain will take you to your next destination, Ol Doniyo Lengai. This area is famous for its stunning landscape and beautiful views of both Lake Natron and Ol Doniyo Lengai. Tonight you'll camp near Lake Natron.

Ol Doinyo Lengai translates to "Mountain of God" in the Maasai language, and is an active volcano located in the Gregory Rift. Part of the volcanic system of the East African Rift, it uniquely produces natrocarbonatite lava.

Lake Natron sits below the volcano, and is a breeding ground for hundreds of thousands of lesser flamingos, despite the highly alkaline state of the striking red waters. Trails lead from the lake to the Engero Sero waterfalls, which flow over craggy rocks into a natural pool.

DAY 4: SERONERA, SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

This morning, the journey to central Serengeti will begin. After another beautiful scenic 4-5 hour drive, you will arrive in Seronera. Tonights accommodation is our very own Siringit Serengeti Camp. The camp is located just 6km east of Seronera Airstrip and one hour’s drive from the Nabi Hill entrance to the Serengeti National Park.

Because of its natural beauty and the abundance of wildlife to be found in the area, the management of the Tanzania National Parks chose this site to host a group of visiting officials from Yellow Stone National Park in the United States. The site still appears on many official maps of the Serengeti National Park as “Yellow Stone.”

It is our privilege to call this idyllic spot ours from now on. The famous Hippo pool, the Serengeti Research Centre and the departure point for balloon Safaris are also conveniently close by.
