We visited Lake Jipe from the Tanzania side, which was very exciting. We were camping at Yefuka Campsite, around 10km from the lakeside. The campsite manager arranged for our boat trip here and it was gorgeous. It wasn't very expensive either - TZS 20,000 for a boat. We got the boat from Ruru village on the lakeside.
It was a really long ride on local boats to reach the Hippo area (your bottoms will start hurting sitting for nearly two hours on that boat if youre not used to it!). We were quite lucky to spot a huge group there. We also spotted some wildlife from Tsavo National Park on the Kenya side (from far away, of course!).
The lake was gorgeous, and we were blessed with decent weather. On our way back, we could see the gorgeous Kilimanjaro. I never expected it was possible to see the tallest mountain of Africa from here!
