Arusha National Park Day Safari Canoeing Trip is a canoe safari + a game drive excursion into the Arusha National Park.  Arusha National Park is located 29 kilometers east of Arusha city and approximately 60 km from Kilimanjaro International Airport.

The Canoeing boat trip is done on Momella Lakes locate in the park. The Momella Lakes are a collection of multiple lakes. Underground water channels mostly feed the lakes and the water level tables are supported by rainfall at various times of the year.

The water feeding into the lake is rich in minerals of varying types allowing various types of bird life to be attracted to the lakes like flamingoes, little grebes, herons, Egyptian geese and lots more.

Enjoy a game drive + canoe ride in Arusha National Park – the smallest of all parks in Northern Tanzania Circuit and located at the foot of Mount Meru offering a spectacular view of Mt. Kilimanjaro.

0800 Hours: Arusha National Park Day Safari canoeing trip departs from your hotel to Arusha National Park. The drive takes about an hour.

0900 Hours: After presentation on safety procedures, you will canoe for 2.5 Hours on the Small Momella Lake, with great views of the forest back drop.

A canoe safari is a wonderful way to view wildlife in their natural surroundings while being a bit physically active. The trip consists in a circumnavigation of the entire Little Momella Lake, which takes about 2 .5 hours. Around every bend and there are many, a different vista.

The perspective, from essentially ground-level, is entirely different from that offered on foot or in a vehicle and the opportunity to get in some fairly rigorous exercise (if you’re of a mind to do so) extremely welcome after so many hours in an airline seat.

You will be within a few yards of several giraffe at the water’s edge, drinking and watching, with considerable interest, as you glide by the many birds.  You may also see a lazy cape buffalo lounging on the bank, within spitting distance or even sharing the same territory as a hippo family.

Other great photographic opportunities include waterbuck, black and white colobus monkeys and bushbuck. There are over 600 species of birds in the park. On clear days one can see Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro in a distance – all from the exciting luxury stable two-person canoes.

Guests canoe on their own canoes around the various small bays in the lake finding new adventures around every corner. The Arusha National Park is home to good numbers of beautiful tall blonde giraffes which are also seen near the lake areas.
