FOLLOW THE MIGRATION
Special Event following the pilgrimage of millions of wildebeest, zebra and antelope on their annual cyclical journey across the Serengeti into the Maasai Mara (May - July) or returning to the Serengeti from the Maasai Mara (November - January).  The journey can be tailor-made to suit your travel plans and duration of stay. However, the exact timing of the migration is of course subject to the actual status of the migration which is dependent on the rains.   

TREKKERS SPECIAL
Not for the faint-hearted: this is a special program for keen mountaineers beginning by scaling Mount Meru 15,064ft (4565 m) over 3 days, then a 2 night break in Arusha to recoup your energy before the big one! Climb Mount Kilimanjaro 19,650 ft (5895 m) - on treks more suited to experienced mountaineers - Machame, Rongai or Shira routes (6-7 days or additional day for acclimatization). This is followed by a night at the base of the mountain, thereafter a flight over Mount Oldo-inyoLengai to Serengeti for 3 - 5 days of Safari.

PILGRIMAGE TO THE "MOUNTAIN OF GOD"
According to Maasai Legend, Mt Oldo-inyo-Lengai (translated as Mountain of God) is the sacred site where God communicates with people by pouring out lava and hot ashes from the heart of the mountain especially during times of drought which the Maasai translate as God's anger.  To pray for forgiveness and rain, the Maasai will select a member from each clan to make a pilgrimage to the Mountain of God, together with female livestock which they offer as sacrifice on the mountain. Women who are infertile may also accompany the troupe to pray for a child. 

Oldoinyo Lengai is of particular interest to geologists because it is the world's only active volcano that erupts natrocarbonatite lava. It is also the only active volcano in this part of the East African Rift Valley, though there are many older extinct volcanoes in this region. Oldoinyo Lengai rises above the Rift Valley floor to a height of approximately 2886 metres.

Adventure-seekers may wish to trek up this unique volcano from the base near Lake Natron, beginning around midnight for 7-10 hours. For further information please fill in the Enquiry Form
