Lake Duluti Canoeing
Lake Duluti Nature Reserves
Lake Duluti Forest Reserve is in northern Tanzania, in the Arumeru District of the Arusha Region. The lake covers 62.3 hectares, and its deepest point is 700 meters. There is a natural forest all around the lake. What makes this lake special is its volcanic, green-colored water and the fact that no rivers feed into it. The lake gets water from underground.
The forest around the lake is full of wildlife, like green mambas, monitor lizards, and many kinds of birds, including grey herons, fish eagles, cormorants, ospreys, and kingfishers. The different types of trees create a beautiful view, and there is also a prayer mountain.

Tour Itinerary
We start from the hotel in Moshi or Arusha and drive to Lake Duluti. When we get to the lake, we will hop on a canoe for a boat trip. We will glide across the calm water of this small crater lake and see birds like fish eagles, giant kingfishers, darters, and more.
While canoeing, you’ll see animals in the trees and amazing views of Mount Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro. The lake is as deep as 700 meters.
After the canoe trip, you’ll enjoy a local lunch by the lake. Then, we will go on another adventure in the area. A day trip to Lake Duluti is full of activities like walking tours, hikes around a nearby crater, and bird watching in the Duluti Forest Reserve. In the late afternoon, we’ll drive back to Arusha, Moshi, or Kilimanjaro International Airport, ending the Lake Duluti canoeing and nature walk tour.
