Lake Chala Safari Camp and Lakeside Adventure

  • Your friendly tour guide will arrive at your accommodation with your tasty packed lunch. Then, he or she will usher you into the vehicle and drive you to Lake Chala Safari Camp.
  • On the way, you'll journey through the everyday life of Moshi and continue onto the freeway, where you can spend a relaxing and comfortable hour taking in the attractive sights. Lake Chala Safari Camp is a beautiful private game reserve overlooking Lake Chala.
  • Upon arrival, our guide will take you down to the lakeside through vividly green flora, with the blue, blue lake ahead of you. It gets quite rocky near the lake, so wear sturdy footwear. It's a stunning area perfect for hikers and birdwatchers, and in season you might be lucky enough to spot elephants gathering at a distant waterhole.
  • 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, each minding their own time.
  • If you're feeling a little more active, you can jump into a kayak and explore the lake further. You'll be serenaded by the ever-present birdsong and the gentle plashing of the water as you row.
  • After your adventures, stop at the bar for a drink, alcoholic or otherwise, and, if you're a little peckish, an afternoon snack. If you haven't opted to camp at the lake, think campfire under the star-filled heavens, you'll be driven back to Moshi in the late afternoon.
