Practical Q&A · Taita-Taveta

Can I visit Lake Chala?

Yes — a deep blue crater lake on the Kenya-Tanzania border near Taveta, on Kilimanjaro's lower slopes, good for hiking the rim and photography (a lodge sits on the Kenyan side). Take care on the steep crater walls and heed local advice about the water.
