Lake Chala walking day trip tour in Tanzania: Itinerary.

The day will start with you being picked up by the drive and start your drive to Lake Chala Safari Camp which is the private game reserve overlooking Lake Chala. On arrival, the guide will take you for a walk down to the Lake passing through the green flora toward the blue Lake and take caution of putting on the strong footwear as it is a rock tail. It’s a stunning area perfect for hikers and birdwatchers, you might be lucky enough to spot elephants gathering at a distant waterhole when it is the season. Spend the day wandering the paths around the lake or across the nearby savannah, where you’re likely to see baboons, vervet monkeys and blue monkeys as well as (perhaps) the shy dik-dik and graceful kudu and several bird species with the beautiful butterflies in the flora. If you’re feeling a little more active, you can jump into a kayak and take further exploration of the lake enjoying different tunes of birdsong.

After this full day adventure, you will stop by to some point for some snacks and drinks and drive back to Moshi town direct to your hotel. However, you can opt for the overnight stay at the camp enjoying the campfire at Lake Chala Safari camp and you will leave to Moshi on the next day.
