Abraham, I can't thank you enough for being such an incredible person. Meeting you and becoming friends has been a true blessing. I'm beyond grateful for the unforgettable time we shared and for your warm hospitality throughout. Though our time was short, it left a lasting impression on me. Looking forward to joining you on the Ol Doinyo trip someday. For anyone considering a trip to Tanzania, reaching out to Abraham is a must. As a local Masai born and raised inside the park, his knowledge of the area is unparalleled. Just let him know your budget, and he'll take care of the rest. And those reviews? Absolutely on point. I wholeheartedly recommend him! ( Abraham’s Number: +255783119784 ) ❤️🙏🏼

The best, in my opinion, peak in Tanzania. An active volcano, at night you can see crimson lava bubbling in the crater. The mountain offers magnificent views of the Great Rift Valley and Lake Nairon. But the main thing is a beautiful sunrise, the most beautiful in Africa, when the sun rises just above the top of Kilimanjaro. Special thanks and a huge hello to the Maasai guide Abraham, the best guide who introduced me to the culture and nature of this region. He is also the best motorcycle driver in the village:! try to get to the volcano at night on a motorcycle :)

Amazing and impressive experience ! Make sure you are on top when its still dark to witness the red lava ! The 360 view is astonishing, even more during sunrise. We also saw Kilimanjaro and Meru from the top. I would definitely recommend it! Abu, our guide, knew a lot about volcanoes and the region, he was really helpful and a really nice person, don't hesitate to contact him if you want to climb this volcano (you'll need a guide anyway).

This week we climbed Ol Doinyo Lengai as a couple with Abraham as our guide. A true Maasai, with over 200 climbs on the mountain. We could not have wished for a better guide. Abraham was very kind, helpful and knowledgeable. He can answer every question you have about the environment and he will definitely make sure you are cared for during the climb and during your stay at the wonderful guest house on the slope of the Rift Valley, overseeing Lake Natron and the active volcano. Additionally, during the whole experience you take a deep dive into Maasai Culture. The guest house is very local, including the food and the community. The hospitality reaches very high. Also, a share of your expenses are used to support the community in a sustainable way. The climb itself is not something to underestimate. We climbed it in 6 hours at night. Depending on the weather, we were able to see the entire milky way. The hike was really tough, but like Abraham told us: the view on top will make you forget about the trip. You can see the red lava if you reach it before sunrise. Also, the Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru can be seen. At the break of dawn you will be able to see the entire crater with amazing panoramic views of the surrounding nature. The volcano spits black lava continuously with some shorts breaks. You can hear, see, feel and smell (unfortunately ;)) it when you reach the top. Unforgettable experience. To end with some tips. It can become cold. Make sure you dress warm. Bring snacks. Buy them before you reach Engare Sero (limited choices). We departed from Arusha. We recommend to take a car/bus/coach to mto wa mbu, depending on your budget. From their a cruiser is really recommended due to the rough road. This can be quite pricy. Otherwise take the loliondo coach (tickets are sold online and at the offices). Do it in advance, as they can be full. Reach Abraham on instagram: @mollelabraham7 or whatsapp: +255 783119784 to arrange this extreme but wonderful activity.

I had contacted a lot of campsites, lodges and guides before coming to Lake Natron. If there is one thing I would recommend, it is that picking a local guide is the best option. They know the village so well, they are super friendly and you are in direct contact with them so it is possible to make your own schedule. Based on the reviews I choose Abraham and never regretted this. The past reviews are completely right about Abraham. He knows everything about the environment, he's is super friendly, fun and kind and a little bit crazy, which is actually a little bit necessary. He assured me a life time experience. The climb was hard, as expected, but Abraham and the other guides are supporting you all the way. The views up there are amazing and seeing the lava was spectacular. The organisation of everything looks sometimes a little bit chaotic, but it is pole pole and I like it like that. I would definitely recommend Abraham. Special thanks also to Muenga (the handyman) for being there all the time if help is needed. You can contact him through WhatsApp: +255 783 119 784 Asante sana Abu!

An adventure's and beautiful hike in the Lake Natron area. I hiked it with the Masai Guide Abraham. He was an amazing guide, very fit, and we could go a fast pace together. As a local, he knows everything about the mountain, the Masai way of living and the hike. Highly recommended. (You can just write him via Whatsapp: +255 783 119 784). You start normally in the middle of the night, so that you reach the top at about 5 a.m., when it is still dark, and you can see the lava in the volcano glowing in red. The difficulty really depends on your experience in hiking. Other than sometimes told, it's about 1600 meters in height (and not 2000). The walking time up was for us about 3 hours, and about 1 hour down, mostly trail running. Other people might need 5 hours up and 5 hours down. The costs are quite high, 100USD for the hike, 20 USD for being allowed to do activities, and additional fees for the conservation area. Nevertheless, a worthwhile and rememberable day.

Unbelievable experience hiking through the night, to reach the top of the active volcano while sun rises. I witnessed one of the most beautiful sunrises I’ve ever seen. It was pure magic. We started our hike around 11pm, stayed more than one hour on top and finished around 10:30am. It is essential to have an experienced guide to find the right path and hike safely. My guide was Daudi and he was pure masterclass. He’s a Maasai living in the Ngaresero region (right at the foot of ol Doinyo Lengai). I warmly recommend Daudi. He has incredible knowledge about the volcano, nature, animals and, logically, about the Maasai Tribe. I had lots of fun with him and felt safe all the time during the trip. But most important: he is a great personality. We laughed a lot and I enjoyed the time with him very much. At Lunchtime he even invited me to his village. That was another unforgettable experience. If you are looking for an experienced guide with great knowledge you can 100% rely on Daudi. His Mail Address: naatandoros@gmail.com.

But it’s easily doable with a certain basic level of fitness. I highly do recommend this trip!

Woow! What shall i say? 😍 A friend and I started the hike together with our guide Abraham at 11:30pm. The beginning of the hike was quite easy, but especially at the end it gets really steep! While you are hiking up there a beautiful sky full of stars ⭐️ looked down on us and we once in a while stoppef to take a break and enjoy. When you reach the top an incredible scenic with spraying lava is shown, while by the time the sun will rise ☀️ and reveal the massive crater surrounding. After staying 1 1/2 hours up there we started the descent, which was really tough due to the steepness of the vulcano. Our guide Abraham was a big help there, always looking for us and being super friendly. He also told us a lot about the Masai culture. I will link his contact below. Short summary: Beautiful scenery, hard climb which I would recommend only for experienced hikers! And yeah its a vulcano 🌋 🤯 just a crazy experience!! Asante sana 🙏🏻 Contact Abraham: +255 783 119 784

a must do when you’re at lake natron!! this hike is the best one i’ve done so far, beautiful views, a challenging but fun climb, amazing sunrise, an active volcano, and an amazing local masai guide!! thank you so much abraham for this unforgettable experience! first i was demotivated by all the reviews about how hard this hike is, but abraham gave me motivation and strength to keep going and we even finished the climb in 4 1/2 hours! don’t get discouraged and try this hike, i can only recommend abraham as a guide, he was the best! funny, helpful, motivating and always with interesting stories about his life living as a masai! you can contact him on whatsapp: +255 783 119 784 !!! he’s also down for other amazing activities in the area, like walking safari (with close-by giraffes) to the lake natron or going to a beautiful waterfall! my mom was a little scared and tired, but he was always helpful with her so we all made it!! 1000% recommended

This was a great experience! We left the lodge at around 10:30 PM the night before and started hiking at midnight. It is hard and tough. I didn't know but I Strongly recommend bringing gloves for the upper part so as not to cut your hands. This was part of a 6 month trip with daily hikes and this was my hardest 1 day trek by far. I was told after that at 66 years old I was the second oldest person to start and finish.
