Lake
Chala is a unique caldera lake, and is thought to be the deepest inland body of
water in Africa. This lake is fed by underground springs from Mt. Kilimanjaro.
The
lake has a great diversity of life. From lush lake shore forest to stunning
volcanic savannah; from river beds marvelously carved through ancient rock, to
thick bush or open ‘mbuga’. Walking at Lake Chala is a magical experience that
will put you back in touch with nature.
The
lake is fed by groundwater flows, which come from Mount Kilimanjaro, fed and
drained underground with a rate of about 10 million m³ / year. Depending on the
time of year, it ranges in colour from deep blue to turquoise and green, it is
surrounded by a 100 metres high crater rim.
Chala
has a huge variety of amazing trees, grasses and plants; some are unique to the
area. According to the time of year there are hundreds of species of
butterflies and birds, including spectacular birds of prey. The African Fish
Eagle, with its haunting techniques, Verreaux’s Eagle, Augur Buzzards and many
other species of birds can be seen around the crater walls. Wild mammals do
vary including Blue Monkeys, Colobus Monkeys, baboons, dik-dik, kudu and elephant.
Chala is an untouched part of a truly ancient land and a must visit place.
