Boating & Canoeing – Day Trip from Arusha & Moshi
Overview
Just outside Arusha, a quiet crater lake sits inside a ring of green forest. Glide across the calm water by canoe with a guide, watching for fish eagles, kingfishers, cormorants and monkeys in the trees along the shore.
On clear days, snow-capped Kilimanjaro rises above the lake behind you. No experience is needed — your guide gives a short lesson before you start, and life jackets are provided.

Pickup from your hotel and a short drive to the lake.
Your guide gives a paddling lesson and fits your life jacket.
Paddle around the lake for 1.5–2 hours, stopping to spot birds and enjoy the views.
Take a short walk along the lake rim or relax at the lakeside with a drink.
Drive back to your hotel.
