Lake Chala is a crater lake in a caldera located on the border of Tanzania and Kenya on the eastern end of Kilimanjaro. This place is a real find for tourists who like panoramic views and quiet recreation. This caldera is a spent collapsed volcano that has a freshwater spring that feeds it year-round. Lake Chala is a unique caldera lake and is thought to be the deepest inland body of water in Africa. This lake is fed by underground springs from Mt. Kilimanjaro.
The lake has a great diversity of life. Walking at Lake Chala is a magical experience that will put you back in touch with nature. Depending on the time of year, it ranges in colour from deep blue to turquoise and green.
It is surrounded by a 100 meters high crater rim. Chala has a huge variety of amazing trees, grasses, and plants; some are unique to the area.
In the morning, after the transfer to the lake, you will find yourself on the edge of the crater to see the wonderful views of the tropical forest and the lake. On the way to the lake, you are highly likely to see baboons. At the lake you can go canoeing, relishing the beautiful African nature. Your lunch will be served afterwards. On the way back to the hotel you will see Mt Kilimanjaro in all its glory.
