    Mount Kenya Day Trip Hike Chogoria Route: Our Mount Kenya day trip using the Chogoria Route approaches the mountain on the eastern side while Naro Moru route is on the west side and Sirimon route is on the north side of the mountain.

    Out of the three popular routes for climbing mount Kenya mentioned above, Chogoria Route is without doubt the most scenic and rewarding for hikers interested in seeing beautiful landscapes and the exotic flora on Mount Kenya.

    Chogoria route contains luxurious vegetation and combined with the fact that the final eruption of Mount Kenya occurred on this side of the mountain makes it one of the most scenic parts of the entire area.

    Our day hiking tour begins from Nairobi where you are driven to Chogoria town located in Mwimbi Division of Tharaka Nithi County in Kenya.

    The town is about 225 km's away from Nairobi. After a restroom stop proceed by road up to the Chogoria park entrance gate.

    The hiking begins from the gate to Mugi Hill, Lake Ellis and the Gates (Road Head) to experience the magnificent sceneries on the Eastern side of the mountain.

    After that we descend to the park entrance for pick up and a transfer back to Nairobi.

    Lake Chala Day Trip Arusha Excursion is a Tanzania day trip that starts from Arusha, Moshi or Marangu town.

    This full day tour takes you to Lake Chala, which lies on the South Eastern flank of Mount Kilimanjaro just 55 km's from Moshi near the Holili/ Taveta border post to Kenya and Tanzania.

    The lake is located 55 kms from Moshi (130 kms from Arusha) therefore the perfect get away for a day. Pure tranquility and beautiful nature await you at Lake Chala.

    Explore the area on one of the many possible hikes, walks to the lake, canoeing on the lake, bird watching, swim in the crystal clear water, kayaking across borders or simply enjoy the stunning vistas of an untouched Africa.

    Depending on 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 animals spotted with-in the area include the blue monkeys, colobus monkeys, baboons, dik-dik, kudu and elephant.

    At the end of Lake Chala day trip, you can choose to be dropped off at Kilimanjaro International Airport, at Arusha Airport or at your hotel.

     Lake Chala Day Trip Arusha Excursion | What to Do and See

    Hiking: Lake Chala is a wonderful area in which to hike.  You can walk down to the lake, round the rim of the lake and up Chala Hill.  You can take river walks, out in the bush, with the company of a guide. 

    The River Bed Trail following the wonderfully carved and varied ‘dry’ river bed then back up the Camp hill to the Kenyan border, and down along the edge of crater lake.

    Great views can also be had on this walk across the bush to the foothills of Kilimanjaro and of the mighty mountain itself. 

    Birding Watching: Birds are plentiful and raptors in particular are many and spectacular birds found in the area. 

    Lake Chala is thought to be an important migration corridor on the eastern flank of Kilimanjaro and unexpected birds can be found here during migration time. 

    Fishing: The Lake is home to the Lake Chala Tilapia, a species of fish in the cichlidae family. This fish is endemic to Chala, but is now a threatened species due to over fishing.

    Crocodiles: Crocodiles were introduced to Lake Chala in the 1930's. In the early 1990s fishermen, angry that their nets were continually being destroyed, began a program to eradicate them.

    There are no longer any crocodiles left in Lake Chala and the lake is safe for swimming; however as everywhere in Africa it pays to be careful. 

    Nature Walks: From lush lake shore forest, to stunning volcanic savannah, Chala is immensely rich in flora.  A vast array of  trees, shrubs, flowers and grasses,  including rare plants, some endemic to Chala, adorn the landscape. 

    The variety is astounding and beautiful in this harsh environment.

      Lake Chala Day Trip Arusha Excursion Itinerary 


    0800 Hours: After breakfast at your hotel/ residence in the morning your safari guide will pick you up and drive to Lake Chala.

    Lake Chala is located some (3 hours drive from Arusha) 55 km's northeast of Moshi town on the south-eastern flank of Mt Kilimanjaro and on the Kenyan border. In fact, the international boundary between Tanzania and Kenya runs through the middle of the lake!

    If you start from Moshi the drive is about 2.5 hours.

    1000 Hours: Upon arrival you will see the beautiful private game reserve overlooking the Crater Lake.  The local guide will take you down to the lake.

    Spend the morning bird watching, swimming, fishing, exploring, canoeing, kayaking (optional). You will have the opportunity to meet/see the local people doing their daily activity.

    The area is home to monitor lizards, baboons, monkeys, antelopes, elephants and many species of birds that live in this wonderful savannah land.

    1300 Hours: We enjoy our picnic lunch out in the bush or at the lodge's restaurant/bar depending on the activity you choose for the day.

    1400 Hours: Relax at the lodge or partake one of the many possible hikes, walks to the lake, canoeing on the lake, bird watching, swim in the crystal clear water, kayaking across borders or simply enjoy the stunning vistas of an untouched Africa.

    Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro 1 Day Shira Route Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro 1 Day Shira Route Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro 1 Day Shira Route Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro 1 Day Shira Route

    Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro 1 Day Shira Route is best suited for guests who are staying in hotels, lodges and camps located West Kilimanjaro.

    Some of these lodges include Shumata Camp, Ndarakwai Camp, Kambi ya Tembo and House of West Kili Lodge.

    The Shira route is a path that approaches Kilimanjaro from the west and guests staying at lodges/ camps/ hotels West of Kilimanjaro gives them an opportunity to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro in a single day trip in the Shira Plateau.

    Shira Plateau is tact of moorland roughly 5 miles across in each direction; level on the west where it abuts on the Shira Ridge, titled upwards on the east where it gradually steepening slope merge into those of Kibo which can be seen at a very close range on a clear day.

    It lies in general between the 11,500 and 13,500 feet. Ascending to this height one encounters the rich vegetation and tree dancing colobus monkeys.

    There are carcasses of eland and elephant higher on the mountain proving that these larger animals are occasional visitors.

    Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro 1 Day Shira Route Itinerary

    The day starts early from your lodge then an hour’s drive through the rich agricultural area at the base of the mountain, this varies from hand tilled small holdings to large commercial farms before giving way first to plantation forest and finally to indigenous forest.

    After the paperwork at the Londorosi gate (Kilimanjaro National Park Western Gate), the road climbs more steeply up a rough track moving quickly through the different layers of vegetation from thick mountain forest with towering trees gradually giving way to the giant heath.

    These giants initially tower 10 to 15 feet high but as we get higher they become gradually shorter, when we crest the final rise on the plateau they are only a few feet high.

    From the parking area at the edge of the plateau we can strike out in any direction, following the myriad of small animal tracks to meander our way across the plateau.

    Spend the day trekking in the park-approximately 3 hours or more. The guide will carry trail food and a picnic lunch.
