Ol Doinyo Orok

Ol Doinyo Orok reaches an elevation of 2,548 meters and features a triangular shape resembling an arrow pointing north toward the Tanzanian border.

The mountain forest reserve, established in 1979, has led to decreased illegal activities such as wood cutting and charcoal burning in the protected area.

The mountain provides essential water resources through natural catchments in its valleys, supporting local Maasai communities during dry seasons throughout the year.

Located at coordinates -2.4933458 latitude and 36.7507059 longitude, the mountain offers opportunities for trekking despite receiving limited tourist traffic.

The elevated cloud forest above 1,700 meters contains plant species and animals not found in surrounding semi-arid lowlands, including leopards and rock hyraxes.
