Lake Ngozi.
Into the volcano.

A forest hike toward an emerald lake hidden inside an ancient caldera.

Near Mbeya

The journey rises
before the lake appears.

Lake Ngozi is reached through the green highlands south of Mbeya. The path, forest, changing air, and anticipation are all part of the experience.

The beginning

From the reserve
into the forest.

The trail moves away from the road and into a quieter landscape, climbing toward the crater rim.
