7-Day Tanzania Private Guide Motorcycle Safari Tour

Day 1: Arusha to Lake Chala

1. Lake Chala
   10h · Admission ticket included
   Crocodiles were introduced to Lake Chala in
   the 1930's. According to legend they were
   brought in by E.S. Grogan, a British explorer
   who became famous for walking from Cape
   Town to Cairo in 1898. The terrain is totally
   unsuitable for crocodiles to breed, there being
   no beaches or sandy areas to make their nests.
   In the early 1990s fishermen were angered
   that their nets were continually being
   destroyed, and therefore 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

Day 2: Lake Chala - Same

   Trans boundary Lake Jipe then leave the lake and start heading up hills to Pare Mountains with a nice view of the small towns/villages down hills.
   To the Lodge we will be riding down hills along dirt roads with lots of sharp corners. This
   day it much of trial for the next day ride which is much of intense riding. The motel at Same
