Two to three hours Easy
A quiet paddle past flamingos and hippos, with Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro on the skyline.
Arusha National Park is the only park in northern Tanzania where you can canoe. A guided paddle on the Small Momella Lake takes you close to flamingos, pelicans and waterfowl, with buffalo and giraffe grazing on the shore.
It is calm, safe and suitable for families, and on a clear morning Kilimanjaro appears above the hills to the east. We combine it with a game drive and a forest walk for a full day from Arusha.

Canoeing on the Momella Lakes is part of the day in these destinations. Pick one to see its wildlife, birds and the safaris that go there.

More than 1,100 species, dozens of endemics, and guides who find most birds by ear. Our speciality.

Drift over the plains at sunrise, then land to a champagne breakfast in the bush.
Follow trackers into the forest above Lake Tanganyika and spend an hour with wild chimpanzees.
Spotlights, genets and bushbabies. See the park after dark, when a different cast of animals comes out.
Hike through ancient Eastern Arc rainforest to Sanje Falls and the viewpoints of the Usambaras.
