Sadiman lava clasts have been discovered in layers dating back 1.7 to 2.0 million years.

This volcano is part of the Serengeti-Ngorongoro UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in partnership with the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

However, it has recently been suggested that the Sadiman volcano's known geological, mineralogical, and geochemical data do not currently support this concept.

Sadiman is also thought to be a source of the Wembere-Manonga sediments (Manonga Valley), which are located around 170 kilometers southwest of Laetoli.

[3][4] Sadiman volcano is located in northern Tanzania's Crater Highlands, near to the western escarpment of the Gregory rift, which is part of the East African Rift system's eastern branch.
