Canoe Safari Lake Manyara National Park Tanzania

Canoe Safari Lake Manyara National Park Tanzania is a 1.5 to 2-hour easy canoeing adventure where you get to see “Wildlife from Water” inside Lake Manyara National Park located in  Mto wa Mbu, in Tanzania Northern Safari Circuit. This Arusha day tour departs from the Lake Manyara canoeing Endala picnic site. The canoe rides take place on Lake Manyara when the water levels are high enough to favor the activity. This is because the water levels vary over time due to the alkaline nature of the lake and many other factors. The 2-hour canoe trip is available in the morning or in the afternoon and the canoes take a capacity of two people in each canoe. The canoe ride also takes place in the company of a well-trained guide who provides information about the lake, wildlife and bird species that can be seen during the game-viewing experience as well as the natural history of Manyara and its surroundings.

Lake Manyara National Park is home to an incredible array of bird life, including thousands of pink-hued flamingos, grey-crowned cranes, crowned eagles, yellow-billed stork, turaco, rufous-tailed weavers, ashy starlings, crowned plovers, fisher’s sparrow lark, black-faced sand grouse among others. You can get very close to giraffes, elephants, buffalos, and other animals grazing on the shoreline. All from the comfort of your canoe. Enjoy the breathtaking scenery and the beauty that surrounds you on this canoe safari.  Children aged 8 years and above can enjoy the canoe ride.
