overview

On the eastern side of Mount Kilimanjaro, adjacent to the Kenyan border, you will find Lake Chala, frequently referred to as Lake Challa, a breathtaking crater lake. You can find the lake eight kilometers to the north of Taveta, Kenya, and fifty-five kilometers to the east of Rombo District. The towering crater rim encircling the lake ascends to an impressive height of 170 meters (560 feet) at its peak. The water that cascades down from Mount Kilimanjaro accounts for over 80 percent of the lake’s water supply. The lake is a gem to be discovered.

The Lake Chala tilapia, scientifically known as Oreochromis hunteri, is the only native fish in this lake. You won’t find this species of tilapia anywhere else in the world. This location is perfect for a delightful picnic, conveniently located just an hour’s drive from Moshi. Guests who are able to navigate the steep hills can proceed to the water’s edge. Majestic cliffs encircle the lake, which boasts a stunning blue hue, presenting an awe-inspiring panorama of the scenery. The lake offers a fantastic opportunity for hiking, bird watching, and swimming.

WHAT OUR CLINTS SAY

I am not even sure where to start because everything was beyond perfect. Customer service was the best. The entire team took extremely good care of us. We hiked and in one day we saw a lot of chimpanzees in the park. Juma organized it on very short notice and Abbas is very knowledgeable about the park and took us to the best routes. Thanks a lot, guys!

I did a 3-days-2-nights trekking with We Cab Tours in Gombe National park. What can I say? Asante sana! The trip was just super perfect! I saw many chimpanzees (it's not guaranteed for sure because as you know how wildlife is sometimes). BUT I did it in the end of March when officially is off-season and I still saw them. The weather was really good too. Juma, the owner and his employees are super nice people. I always felt safe and understood. Moreover everything was on time what is really rare to get - believe me. I would do it with this organization again for sure! And I will do some other trips when I am again in Tanzania

Juma, thank you for your hospitality and flexibility during our travel to Zanzibar. I had an amazing and beautiful experience because of your team. Your team arrived early at the RUI to pack our luggage in the van and patiently waited until we were ready to leave the hotel as were saying goodbye to our friends we met on the trip. I appreciate the time you took on our last day of the visit in Stone town prior to leaving for the airport. You helped us negotiate our fabrics and clothing so that we received the best price

Juma, Makame, Brendah and the We Cab family were the absolute best! They treated us like family, they were on time for every day we booked. They want out of their way to provide the best experience. When we booked the "scary ferry" ride to Dar es Salem, we were treated to a complimentary upgrade. We missed the stop in Nairobi where we were supposed to give donations to an orphanage and they made sure to find a reputable one in Zanzibar, and had one of their guides Brendah, translate on our behalf. I truly felt more like family than a client. I will definitely return to Zanzibar and use We Cab for all my transportation and tour needs.
