Sanjan is where the land feels almost other‑worldly and a superb option to fall off the map for a spellbinding few days exploring with Charlie.

A dramatic sweep of soaring cliffs, deep gorges and open plains, this is walking country at its most atmospheric. From the heights around Lake Natron to the shadow of Ol Donyo Lengai, the landscape is vast, raw and almost overwhelming. Routes range from easy explorations to long, challenging days on foot, shaped by weather, fitness and curiosity. Maasai cattle move through the valleys and vultures circle on rising thermals. It’s a place of geology, culture and wilderness intertwined.

Charlie sets up in Sanjan for the stunning green season months from mid November to mid May.
