Lake Chala

---

Lake Chala is a volcanic crater lake that straddles the border of Kenya and Tanzania to the east of Mount Kilimanjaro.  The lake formed around 250,000 years ago.  Nearly 80% of the lake's water comes from groundwater coming primarily from rainfall in the montane forest zone of Kilimanjaro.   The only native fish in the lake is the Lake Chala tilapia which is found nowhere else on earth.  

At Lake Chala, you will have the opportunity to hike to the border rock and have one foot in Kenya and another in Tanzania (approximately a 3-4 hour hike).  There are shorter hikes available.  

There is also the opportunity for kayaking on the lake and camping and lodging is coming soon.  

There is also the option to add Lake Chala to a Chagga Village Overnight Trip.
