Lake Chala was created by a volcanic eruption that occurred in prehistoric times. The Lake is the remnant of the mountain that was destroyed during this eruption. It is located on the borders of Tanzania and Kenya close to the town of Moshi on the eastern edges of Mount Kilimanjaro.

The lake is protected by the crater walls which are 100 meters tall. Its color varies depending on the time of year from a rich blue, to turquoise, to green. The lake is fed by groundwater that comes from Mount Kilimanjaro. However, water levels have been dropping in the past few years and locals fear that one of the caves along the system that leads from Kilimanjaro to the lake has collapsed. Lake Chala offers beautiful landscapes from its rim and its surface and has recently become a major tourist attraction in Moshi.
