Overview

Lake Chala is a deep, clear crater lake on the lower slopes of Kilimanjaro, right on the border between Tanzania and Kenya, its turquoise water enclosed by steep, forested crater walls.

This full-day trip, around 11 hours, starts with a morning pickup from your accommodation in Moshi or Arusha, followed by a scenic drive towards the Kenyan border near Holili, time at the crater rim and down by the water, and the return drive in the afternoon.
