Canoeing on Lake Duluti

Canoe safaris are a perfect way to combine adventure, relaxation, and wildlife observation. This activity allows you to explore nature from a unique perspective on the water, where the surroundings feel peaceful and untouched.

During the safari, you paddle across the crater lake of Lake Duluti, located just a short drive from Arusha town. The lake is nestled within a lush forest, creating a tranquil environment that is perfect for reflection and photography.

As you glide gently along the water for about one and a half hours, you can spot a variety of birds and wildlife, including majestic eagles, colorful kingfishers, and darters perched on branches or fishing along the lake’s edge. The calm waters also offer occasional glimpses of fish and small aquatic creatures, giving you an intimate look at the lake’s ecosystem.

This experience is ideal for nature lovers, bird watchers, photographers, and anyone looking for a peaceful outdoor adventure, making it one of the most enjoyable ways to connect with Tanzania’s natural beauty

The best time to enjoy canoeing on Lake Duluti is during the dry season, from June to October. During these months, the weather is calm and sunny, the lake water is peaceful, and the surrounding forest and birdlife are at their most visible, providing a serene and safe paddling experience.

The green season (November to May) brings occasional rains, which can make trails around the lake slippery and water levels slightly higher. However, this season also offers lush, vibrant scenery and excellent opportunities for birdwatching along the lake’s edge.
