Meet our professional naturalist guide/driver at the lodge, who will deliver a short safari info briefing, after which, we travel to Lake Chala. You can choose any activity from a nature bush walk, canoeing on the lake, fishing, or swimming in the Lake. The bushwalk will last (2-4) hours, depending on the pace. The walk offers scenic views with Kilimanjaro in the background. You will go down the rocky gully formation to the water.

After the walk, we can have lunch at the Lake Chala lodge with a spectacular view of the lake as well as a view of Kilimanjaro on clear days.

If you want to paddle in a canoe, this is a one-hour activity, and if you want to go fishing, it can be extended. You can find the specific Lake Chala tilapia, though you must fish and release it since this is an endangered species.

You can swim in Lake Chala, but it is recommended to stay close to the shore if you are not a strong swimmer. There are no dangerous aquatic creatures, but the lake’s depth, with a 70-meter drop-off, is a caution. Later in the evening, the driver will take you back to the lodge for your next adventure.
