Lake Chala Day Tour

Overview

Lake Chala, often spelled Lake Challa, is a stunning crater lake that can be found on the eastern flank of Mount Kilimanjaro, right on the frontier with Kenya. In addition, the lake is located eight kilometres (five miles) to the north of Taveta, Kenya, and fifty-five kilometres (thirty-four miles) to the east of Rombo District. The steep crater rim that surrounds the lake reaches a maximum height of 170 metres (560 feet) at its highest point. The groundwater that flows down from Mount Kilimanjaro provides more than 80 percent of the lake’s water supply. It is a new travel location in Tanzania that is not well recognised.
The Lake Chala tilapia, also known as Oreochromis hunteri, is the only native fish that can be found in this lake. This species of tilapia can be found nowhere else in the world. It is a great area to go for a picnic, and it is just about an hour’s drive from Moshi. Visitors who are physically capable may make their way down the steep hills to the water’s edge.

Tour Plan

01
Day 01 : Lake Chala Day Trip

After breakfast, you’ll go on a day tour of Lake Chala with a knowledgeable guide. Our locally led tour will take you to the lake and the area around it, where you will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities, including swimming, bird watching, and hiking. A guided tour is highly recommended because not only will it make sure you see all of the area’s best sights, but it will also teach you interesting things about the area’s history, culture, and ecology. However, because there are not any lifeguards on duty and the water can be quite deep in certain areas of the lake, visitors should make sure to exercise caution and follow all of the safety guidelines that have been provided.

It is also recommended to visit Lake Chala during the dry season, which begins in June and ends in October and March. This is because the weather during this time is more favourable, and the roads are also in better condition during this time. The visitors are encouraged to bring appropriate clothing, sunscreen, and insect repellent, in addition to the lunch that will be provided as part of the tour. The tour will come to an end in the late afternoon, and at that point, you will be driven back to the hotel.
