Amazing Trip To Lake Chala

Safari summary

Pick-up from Arusha or Moshi starts early in the morning around 8:00 AM for a delightful trip to Lake Chala. As you travel through the lively streets of Moshi and along a scenic freeway, you’ll enjoy views of the vibrant local life and beautiful landscapes during the hour-and-a-bit drive.

Lake Chala, nestled on the border between Tanzania and Kenya, is a private game reserve renowned for its striking natural beauty. Upon arrival, a guide will escort you through lush, green vegetation to the lake’s edge. Here, you’ll be captivated by the lake’s brilliant blue waters, framed by the surrounding volcanic caldera.
