The aim is for the sunrise to catch you at the top. You will leave with your local mountain guide heading up the only active volcano mountain in East Africa Mt Oldonyo Lengai. The climb is a challenge in itself due to the terrain so be prepared. Even though climbing starts before midnight so we can be at the top before sunrise it can take longer at times to reach the top where you will arrive way past sunrise.
