Mystical Crater Lake — Lake Chala Day Tour

Immerse yourself in untouched nature, panoramic views & serenity on the edge of Tanzania and Kenya

OVERVIEW


Lake Chala is a hidden gem straddling the border of Tanzania and Kenya at the eastern slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. This ancient crater lake, fed by underground springs, offers dramatic landscapes — a steep crater rim, lush forests, and shimmering waters that shift in hue. During this day trip, you’ll experience panoramic vistas, wildlife along the journey, canoeing or relaxing by the lake, and views of Kilimanjaro on your return.
