Lake Challa Day Trip

Lake Challa, a stunning crater lake straddling the border of Kenya and Tanzania, is just an hour’s drive from Moshi, making it an ideal spot for a day trip or an overnight adventure. Your journey begins at the crater’s edge, where you can gaze down at the mesmerizing lake below. A 45-minute hike through the enchanting savannah woodlands will lead you to the water’s edge. Picture yourself spending the day swimming in the lake and unwinding on the shore before retracing your steps back to the crater’s rim. At certain times of the year, you might catch sight of families of elephants, monkeys, and baboons from the viewing deck as they gather at nearby watering holes. Lake Challa also boasts a picturesque campsite equipped with a campfire, cooking amenities, and a bar for your enjoyment.
