Your guide will arrive at your accommodation with a tasty packed lunch in hand, ready to whisk you away to Lake Chala Safari Camp. As you drive through the heart of Moshi and onto the freeway, you’ll enjoy a relaxed and scenic hour-long journey. Lake Chala Safari Camp is nestled within a private game reserve that overlooks the lake, offering stunning views. Once you arrive, your guide will lead you down to the lakeside, walking through lush greenery with the sparkling blue lake ahead. The area becomes rocky near the water, so make sure to wear sturdy shoes.
This is a fantastic spot for hikers and birdwatchers, and if you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of elephants gathering at a distant waterhole during the right season. Spend your day meandering along trails around the lake or across the nearby savannah, where you’re likely to spot baboons, vervet monkeys, blue monkeys, and perhaps even the shy dik-dik or elegant kudu. After your hike, relax by the lakeside, taking in the stillness, only interrupted by the gentle sounds of birds and water. If you're in the mood for more activity, grab a kayak and explore the lake while enjoying the peaceful bird calls and the soft splash of water. After your adventure, stop by the bar for a refreshing drink and a light snack.
If you're not staying overnight by the lake (imagine a campfire under a starry sky), you’ll head back to Moshi in the late afternoon. The scenic drive back gives you a moment of solitude to reflect on your day, and you’ll probably find yourself wondering if it's too early to head straight to bed—trust us, the peaceful, restorative day will leave you feeling wonderfully exhausted.
