What's up with the entry fee of TZS 30.000 to go to a viewpoint!? Disrespectful fee to ask of those who come to visit. We reached out to a guy named Ezekia Moses for guiding. Unfortunately I cannot recommend it. The guide did not have much knowledge. It was just a guy to follow. In the end without a guide and with GPS would have been fine. Also we suspect he took the 2x entry fee of TZS 60.000 for himself together with the TZS 20.000 guiding fee. An official ticket was promised but...

Its a very cool place and the view of the lake is just amazing ,changing water colours simply this place is heaven..the way to the lake is a bit insects disturbing including a lot of mosquito's,horse flies etc I would advice people to carry mosquito repellant cream and ware some long outfits to avoid the worse experience I got to the lake,I would advice visitors to take their takeaways -snacks,drinks etc because there is no access to such kind of stuffs...

Must visit location in Mbeya. At the top the view is breathtaking. It took us 1.5 hour to hike up average time. You really need energy to go up too. It was a great experience. Guides known as local guides too, villagers are helpful. You just pay little to for guides to go up and it helps the area for maitenance.

Very Amazing tourist attraction of water body Infact it's the most wonderful water lake in Africa. With a weird story of it's formation although the magical story is not scientific proved. This lake's water neither increase nor decrease and it's what makes people wonder about the lake.
