Overview

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.

About

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.

The tour was interesting, and the driver was good. However, we feel the travel agency should have informed us in advance about the guides who wait at the park entrances and accompany tourists to geysers and waterfalls. The booking confirmation made no mention of this at all; it only stated that park entrance fees, food, and drinks were not included. When we have no idea how much the guide’s services will cost, we don't know how much cash to bring, since credit cards aren't accepted in places like that.

I contacted the agency online and they were prompt in their replies. They were able to suggest the itinerary for me, and were flexible with my requests. The driver was punctual and drove safely. There was no hard-selling.

I had never booked through this company before and was concerned. But the driver was even early and everything was perfect. Absolutely the most amazing lemur experience.
