Lake Duluti Canoeing And Hiking

Lake Duluti Canoeing and Hiking

Nestled just outside of Arusha, Lake Duluti is a tranquil crater lake surrounded by lush forest and towering volcanic hills—an ideal destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers. The Lake Duluti Canoeing and Hiking experience combines peaceful paddling with scenic walking trails, making it a perfect day trip for anyone seeking serenity and soft adventure.

The excursion begins with a relaxing canoe ride across the calm waters of the lake. As you glide silently in a two-person canoe, you’ll be treated to stunning views of the lake’s emerald shoreline and the towering Mt. Meru in the distance. The lake is home to a variety of bird species, including fish eagles, kingfishers, herons, and cormorants—making it a paradise for birdwatchers and photographers.

After canoeing, embark on a guided forest hike around the lake’s perimeter. The walking trail takes you through thick vegetation and offers insight into the local flora and fauna. Keep an eye out for monkeys, monitor lizards, and butterflies along the way. Your local guide will share stories about the lake’s volcanic origin and its cultural significance in the region.

Ideal for families, couples, or solo travelers, the Lake Duluti Canoeing and Hiking tour is a refreshing contrast to Tanzania’s larger safari experiences. It’s also a wonderful activity to pair with a Kilimanjaro trek or northern circuit safari.

Whether you’re looking for relaxation or a bit of light adventure, Lake Duluti delivers a quiet escape into nature just minutes from Arusha town.
