What to Expect

Lake Jipe is a small, charming lake in northern Tanzania on the border with Kenya, fed by the Lumi River from Mount Kilimanjaro. Surrounded by dense reeds, it offers an authentic glimpse into Tanzanian rural life. Kayak through tall reeds while spotting water birds, hippos, and crocodiles. Watch elephants drinking at the water's edge and interact with local agricultural and fishing communities. Fish for fresh tilapia and enjoy the scenic views without tourist crowds. This off-the-beaten-path experience showcases the natural beauty and rural life of northern Tanzania, perfect for combining with hikes in the Pare or Usambara Mountains.
