Life jackets and paddles are provided to ensure a comfortable and secure experience on the water.

As you set out in your canoe, you will be immersed in the tranquility of the lake, surrounded by lush green forests that line the crater walls. The calm waters make it easy to paddle at your own pace, whether you prefer a relaxed glide or a more active workout. Along the way, your guide will point out a variety of bird species, including kingfishers, cormorants, herons, and the iconic African fish eagle, making Lake Duluti a haven for bird lovers.

The canoeing trip also provides a unique perspective of the lake’s volcanic origins, as you drift past impressive crater slopes covered with rich vegetation. For those interested in cultural insights, guides often share local stories and legends connected to the lake. The experience is both adventurous and educational, combining nature, culture, and relaxation.

After the canoeing session, you may enjoy a leisurely walk along the forested trails that circle the lake, where monkeys and monitor lizards are commonly spotted. Many programs conclude with refreshments at a lakeside spot, giving you time to soak in the serene atmosphere before heading back to Arusha.
