Lake Chala
Taveta
What we know
Opening hours: Daytime
Safety note: Steep crater walls; take care near the rim/water. Swimming is discouraged in places (crocodiles have been reported historically) — heed local advice.
cultural note: A strikingly deep blue crater lake straddling the Kenya-Tanzania border near Taveta, on the lower slopes of Kilimanjaro — a scenic, off-beat spot for hiking the rim and photography (a lodge sits on the Kenyan side).
