Detailed Daily Program
Open each day for the full description. The program below is based on the tour material supplied for this website; final lodge names, operating times and any optional activities are confirmed with the quotation.
Leave Arusha or Moshi for Lake Natron and the Ngare Sero area. The road passes through dry Rift Valley landscapes and Maasai country before reaching the lake basin. After check-in, use the afternoon for a guided walk in the Ngare Sero area or rest before the night climb.
Have an early dinner, organize water and equipment, and receive the final safety briefing. The summit attempt normally starts around midnight so that most of the ascent is completed during the cooler hours.
Experience & Practical Details
Pickup time, activity order and return time are confirmed before the tour according to local operating conditions.
Begin the climb around midnight with a local mountain guide. The route is steep, loose and physically demanding, and progress depends on individual fitness, weather and volcanic conditions. Reaching the summit area around sunrise is the objective, but access to the crater or upper slopes is always subject to safety conditions and local guidance.
Descend carefully to the base, have time to recover and eat, then start the return transfer to Arusha or Moshi.
