Description
Lake Chala is a crater lake located in a caldera on the border of Tanzania and Kenya. It is situated on the eastern rim of Mount Kilimanjaro, approximately 48km (30mi) from Moshi town, which takes about an hour to reach. Depending on the season, the lake’s color varies from deep blue to turquoise and green, surrounded by a 100m (2,000ft) high crater rim. The lake is fed by groundwater streams from Kilimanjaro, which have been injected and discharged underground for about 10 million years.

We use 4x4 safari vehicles equipped with pop-up roofs for excellent wildlife viewing and photography. All vehicles are maintained to high safety standards and driven by experienced guides.
