点评:My son 20 years and I at 61 years (back then in August 2024) climbed Ol Doinyo Lengai with guide Naatandoros Daude (Daude). I have climbed many volcanoes and this was my third ascent of Ol Doinyo Lengai. Daude is a top guide, a true friend, and a gentleman Maasai, impeccable English and very patient. His email is naatandoros@gmail.com. Whatsapp: +255 689 061 217. We were the tortoise of the tortoise and the hare story. We were the first to begin the climb leaving blue demon our rented 80 series landcrusier at the parking spot at the base of the volcano and then all the other climbers and their guides passed us and we were the last to pass though the pearly gates before the crater rim, but then we were the first to reach the crater 'cause all the other climbers and their guides were sleeping and resting in the thermal area of warm ground before the crater. So then we were the first to see the crater as we did not stop there (we had beforehand rested half way up the volcano with roasted goat meat and coffee). And we were the last to go back down the volcano! When we finally got back to blue demon - a flat tire and no jack greeted us - after much swearing I finally remembered the 12v air pump for the tires. Daude and the porter Isaya (strong as an Ox) did all that was needed as we were too exhausted. Great climb, great friends, great experience. The most interesting volcano in the world and my personal favourite.
翻译:我20岁的儿子和61岁的我(当时是2024年8月)在向导Naatandoros Daude(Daude)的带领下攀登了Ol Doinyo Lengai火山。我爬过很多火山,这是我第三次攀登Ol Doinyo Lengai火山。Daude是一位顶级向导,一位真正的朋友,也是一位绅士般的马赛人,他的英语说得一口流利,而且非常有耐心。他的邮箱是naatandoros@gmail.com。Whatsapp:+255 689 061 217。我们就像龟兔赛跑故事中的乌龟。我们是第一批开始攀登的,把租来的 80 系列陆地巡洋舰蓝魔留在火山脚下的停车场,然后其他登山者和他们的向导都超过了我们,我们是最后通过火山口边缘前的天堂之门的。但我们却是第一批到达火山口的,因为其他登山者和他们的向导都在火山口前的地热区睡觉休息。所以我们是第一批看到火山口的,因为我们没有在那里停留(我们之前在半山腰休息,吃了烤羊肉,喝了咖啡)。而且我们是最后一批下火山的!当我们终于回到蓝魔时——轮胎瘪了,千斤顶也没了——我骂了好多遍,终于想起带 12v 的轮胎气泵。Daude 和搬运工 Isaya(力大如牛)帮我们做了所有需要做的事情,因为我们太累了。很棒的攀登,很棒的朋友,很棒的体验。这是世界上最有趣的火山,也是我个人最喜欢的。
