Mount Oldeani
Embedded in the south east rim of the Ngorongoro national park, sits the giant Mount Oldeani. The mountain is very well known locally however, largely unknown by tourists until they set eyes upon the mountain while in the country. The Mountain sits just off the largest tourist route through the Ngorongoro conservation area and can be seen from miles around. It is a firm natural feature for tourists who travel to Lake Eyasi, Lake Manyara and as far as the Tarangire National Park.
Oldeani is one of the Ngorongoros volcanos and drains directly into the northeast end of Lake Eyasi. One of the most popular tributes to the Oldeani mountain is the Ngorongoro Oldeani Mountain Lodge.
There are several other well known safari lodges which make the volcanic mountain a focal point due to its height and picturesque majesty looking over the flat plains of Tanzania. Despite it being a key feature in the landscape there are not many tour guides who take you to climb the mountain. Despite this, it is very close to the main game driving route through the Ngorongoro crater and can be seen easily. There are also many tours that will take you to Lake Eyasi to see the animals or the local tribes.
