LAKE CHALA

We leave Moshi town early in the morning and heard towards Himo town using Taifa road which is the main route. It’s approximately 30 kms from Moshi town to the small town of Himo. The route is tarmac road with a lot of traffic. After a few minutes catching our breath and refilling our water containers and eating some energy bars, we will head towards Taveta border (Kenyan and Tanzanian Boarder) which is 10 kms from Himo Town. The route is Tarmac with much reduced traffic. At few meters before the border we will go left towards the route that leads to Lake Chala. It is 14 kms to the lake from here. The route is rough with gravel and rocks, and is dusty all the way to the lake. At approximately 6 to 7 kms to the lake, the vegetation changes to evergreen forest that is host to many mammals like Elephant, Primates, Antelopes and different species of birds. It’s 4 hrs from Moshi town to Lake Chala. On reaching the lake we will have a picnic lunch, then we will rest for some time before descending down to the Lake. At the lake you can have a boat ride around the lake. After spending some time here we will drive back to Moshi.
