Ngosi Crater
Lake entrance
Volcanic mountains, crater lakes, green
hills and lush valleys with hurling rivers, Rungwe District, just south of
Mbeya, is one of the loveliest areas of the country. When you are traveling in
the south of Tanzania , or if
you are on your way to Malawi
or Zambia Tanzania
Ngosi is another million year old volcano
that can be climbed. The centre of this volcano collapsed and has later been in
filled by the Ngosi Crater Lake. Climb to the top through dense bamboo forest
and tropical vegetation. When you rich the rim, you will be rewarded with
spectacular view of the lake, lying 200 meters below.
Lake Ngosi Meaning 'very big' in the local
Kisafwa language, Ngosi Crater Lake is a popular day trip, experience the
beautiful scenery as you trek down to the lake shore. If you are lucky you may be able to catch a
glimps of the legendary lake monster who has the ability to change the color of
the water
The road ending and a
small path starting climbing steeply up the jungle cover mountainside. Your
legs may be exhausted from the days walk and frequently climbing of mountains.
The path is steeper and steeper and the end is quite clearly in sight. After
about 40 minutes of steep climbing, u can reach an opening with a dirt bench, with
a view of the crater. It is much larger than how ordinary people can imagine and
completely filled with water.
The water supposes to be a magnificent green, but since it is quite overcast and misty it may seem normal color. It is a cool sight as the entire crater filled with water, that the locals believe houses a Loch Ness type monster. It is possible to swim in for Mzungu, but the trek down is even steeper and far, and then obviously you have to come back up.
