“Be in the very best physical shape you can be; this is something you have control of.”
“Do not to rush and if possible take the extra day on the mountain to help the acclimatization process.”
“Be prepared for cold. I expected cold at the top but it was cold from day 2 on.”
“Eat as much as you can, I do believe it can make a difference.”
“For Kili, I suggest paying a little extra for another porter to ensure yourself a private toilet.”
“If taking the the shuttle from Nairobi be sure you are prepared for a long trip in cramped quarters, hot and uncomfortable conditions. Give your self a full day in Moshi before starting the trek if taking shuttle.”
“Train, take an expedition bag, tip the help along the way, not just the end.”
“Pack as if you had to carry all of your clothes. Invest in high quality clothing that is made for trekking. Buy a day pack which will limit what you can bring with you.”

Ol Doinyo Lengai Volcano Erupts
October 11, 2007 · Leave a Comment
Thousands of Maasai herdsmen living around the area of the Ol Doinyo Lengai Volcano vacated their homes in the wake of a trail of the eruptions in early September 2007 that left two children injured and a school damaged.
Meaning “Mountain of God” in the Maasai language, Ol Doinyo Lengai is called the strangest volcano on earth by National Geographic, where lava fountains harden in midair then shatter like glass.
Ol Doinyo Lengai is a unique and extremely fascinating volcano that is located in the African Rift Valley northwest of Arusha, Tanzania. It is the only volcano in the world that erupts natrocarbonatite lava, a highly fluid lava that usually contains almost no silicon. Natrocarbonatite lava is also much cooler than other lavas, being only about 950 degrees compared to temperatures over 2000 degrees for other lavas.
