Early in the morning at 1:00am the driver will take you to the foot of Ol Donyo Lengai volcano for the start of your climb. The hike can take anywhere between 8-12 hours and is done during the night so you can experience an amazing sunrise at the summit. This is an extremely challenging hike because it is steep and covered in volcanic ash, which feels like walking in soft sand. At the edge of the crater, you will have reached the altitude of 2,960 m. Here, you can actually hear the lava flow inside the Mountain of God crater. The driver will be at the bottom waiting to take you back to Arusha.
