Paddle the Crater Waters of Lake Chala
Lake Chala is a striking caldera lake on the Tanzania-Kenya border, ringed by steep walls and filled with shifting shades of blue and green.
A guided kayaking session lets you explore the calm water at your own pace, with good chances of spotting waterbirds along the shoreline. Message our Moshi booking managers on WhatsApp for a free consultation.
Tanzania’s Hidden Crater Lake
Formed in a volcanic crater east of Moshi, Lake Chala is fed by underground streams and reaches depths of around 90 metres, making it one of the deepest lakes in East Africa.
Swimming and fishing are discouraged for safety reasons, but kayaking on its calm surface is a popular, low-impact way to experience the lake’s dramatic setting.
