Overview of the Experience
Paddle gently on the quiet Momella Lakes in Arusha National Park or along the shores of Lake Manyara. Get up close to flamingos, kingfishers, and giraffes drinking at the water’s edge while enjoying views of Mount Meru. Unlike standard game drives, a canoeing safari allows you to experience nature from a quiet, water-level angle. You will drift silently past herds of waterbucks, bushbucks, and giraffes standing on the banks, and watch birds dive for fish. Led by an experienced canoeing guide, you will paddle sturdy, two-person canoes on calm waters, ensuring a relaxing and peaceful wildlife excursion.
