Lake Chala,  an ancient Caldera lake,  lies some 30km to the south-east of Kilimanjaro, and is said to be over 2.5 miles deep. It is believed to be the caldera of the first volcanic eruption some three-quarters of a million years ago. Lake Chala is the remnant of a mountain destroyed in an eruption at that time.
Lake Chala, the mystical caldera lake, a gem as brilliant as the precious Tanzanite itself. Visit us, absorb the serenity, exerience the tranquility.

Set in an area of outstanding natural beauty and with an immensely diverse ecosystem, there is so much to see at Lake Chala. An adventure, or a just place to relax, the choice is yours in this unique piece of African wilderness.

Chala feels so remote, yet is near to Moshi and easily accessible, making it the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of  every day life.

An ideal site for both day trips or camping, and a great stop over for long distance travelers, and cycling groups.

Nestled in the heart of the bush, lies the new Lake Chala Safari Camp opened in March 2010.

A great place to stay,  excellent value for money,  friendly helpful service, everything you need to make your camping trip a
truly comfortable and relaxing experience.

To one side lie the towering peaks of Mawenzi and Kilimanjaro,  to the other lies the fabulous Caldera lake

HM Safaris focuses exclusively on Tanzania and is owned and operated by an experienced, local Tanzania safari guide who has been taking people through the breathtaking African wilderness for over 15 years.

Tanzania provides the perfect location for safaris. It is endowed with many natural resources that form a mainstay of tourist attractions. It is the largest country in East Africa and over 35% of its land is allocated to national parks and game and forest reserves. Serengeti National Park is located in Tanzania and is renowned for the annual migration where a staggering 1.8 million+ wildebeest make their journey north into the Masai Mara in Kenya and then back into Tanzania in their continuous search for lush green grass. If you are unsure as to where you would like to visit here are some of the safari destinations that we cover.

Serengeti safari - the Serengeti is truly the heart of Tanzania and has the highest concentration of free range game on the planet. If you are looking to get away from the crowds and experience an Africa untouched by time, this is the place for you. Ngorongoro Crater safari - Ngorongoro is considered the eighth wonder of the world and is home to the big five animals - a must see for first time visitors! Lake Manyara safari - a favorite for bird watchers, Lake Manyara has a higher diversity of plant and animals than the Serengeti. Tarangire safari - this park is particularly spectacular during the dry season, when the animals are forced to share the remaining water supplies. Lake Eyasi safari - for a tropical getaway and a visit with bushmen, this is the place. Arusha safari - a great balance of hiking, mountain, biking and wildlife and Mount Kilimanjaro climb.

In addition to selecting your safari destinations we offer you several safari lodging options from private camping in tents out in the middle of the wilderness to boutique safari lodges and hotels to luxury tented lodges. Visit our safari lodging section for more information.

HM Safaris provides quality, private, sustainable safaris in Tanzania, East Africa.
