Intrepid travellers can follow in the footsteps of Maasai explorers by climbing Oldoinyo Lengai to enjoy the views.Ĭomprising only four tents with a further two smaller tents for guides or extra guests, Lengai Camp is one of the most intimate in Tanzania. This is glorious a Rift Valley setting, complete with vast views of rolling savannah and ancient mountains. The custodians of this land take conservation seriously, and Lengai Camp is involved in important anti-poaching measures. Lengai Camp has intriguing Lake Natron on its doorstep and lies within the Great Rift Valley, where at least seven volcanic craters offer shelter to comical rock hyraxes and battalions of eagles and falcons. With full and sole access to the western concession of the Lake Natron Game Controlled Area – which stretches to the Kenyan border – you have much of this jaw-dropping part of Tanzania almost all to yourself, along with the Maasai and Sonjo tribes who have lived here with their cattle for centuries. Owned and operated by a Tanzanian-born conservationist, Lengai Camp is the perfect place for travellers looking for a more immersive safari experience.
