We Know Tanzania Because Tanzania Is Home
Lake Chala is a stunning crater lake located on the border between Tanzania and Kenya, formed in the caldera of an ancient volcano. The lake is approximately3 kilometers wide and reaches depths of up to90 meters, with waters that change color from deep blue to turquoise depending on the season.
The day trip from Moshi takes you through the scenic Rombo district on the eastern slopes of Kilimanjaro. Upon arrival, you can hike down to the lake shore, enjoy kayaking on the calm waters, or simply relax and take in the breathtaking scenery.
The area surrounding Lake Chala is rich in birdlife and offers spectacular views of the crater walls. It is a peaceful and relatively untouched destination, perfect for nature lovers and photographers seeking a unique experience away from the tourist crowds.
The best time for safaris in Tanzania is during the dry season from June to October, when animals gather around water sources and vegetation is sparse for easier viewing. January to February is also excellent, especially for calving season in the Serengeti. However, safaris can be enjoyed year-round, with the green season (November to May) offering lush landscapes and fewer crowds.
Essential items include: neutral-colored clothing (khaki, olive, beige), comfortable walking shoes, a wide-brimmed hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, binoculars, a camera with zoom lens, and a light jacket for early morning game drives. We recommend layering as temperatures can vary throughout the day. Avoid bright colors and dark blue/black (which can attract tsetse flies). We provide binoculars and field guides on every safari.

My daughter and I enjoyed a safari at Tarangire and Ngorongoro. It was a very satisfying trip because the guide showed us a lot of animals and took enough time for photos. The whole team was professional and made us feel safe throughout.
Fantastic and supportive professional guides! Their support gave us an amazing experience. The game drives were exceptional — we saw all the Big Five in just four days. Highly recommend Kili Altitude Adventures for any safari!
