Beautiful lake where you can take a wonderful hike. The staff is very friendly. Also nice to take the Kano around the lake.
We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your Lake Chala day trip. We hope to welcome you back to Tanzania again. Karibu tena!
We had a great time with Moana at Lake Chala. We hiked around the lake through beautiful and diverse landscapes. Along the way we passed viewpoints that offered a good view on the lake. We closed the day off with kayaking and even crossed the border to Kenya. Our Moana tour guide made sure everything was arranged well and we had a lot of fun together during the day. I would recommend this trip.
