If you feel like walking and canoeing in unspoilt nature, I can highly recommend a trip to Lake Duluti. This small but deep crater lake captivated me not only by its tranquility but also by its surrounding forests full of secrets and surprises. First, we were guided around the lake by Dickson, our very knowledgeable guide. Ask for plants, birds, reptiles, he could name them and give any interesting information. By imitating the sounds of animals he even lured them out from their hidden spaces and we could watch monkeys, rare birds and more. We enjoyed the walk through impressive nature, the long lianos temted us to try their strenghth and the crocodile tail climbers seemed like weapons from a forelorn world. Just in time to watch a golden sunset we started our boat tour and while gliding along magical vegitation, we were listening to the sounds of nature. I didn't enjoy this natural gem for the first time and would not hesitate to come again and again.

It's a good place for day tour with friends and family around Arusha Tanzania. I can't explain how excited we are to do canoeing 🛶 and forest hike. Special thanks to Walete Expedition for organising the trip.

Really nice little canoe ride. You can also go for a hike around the lake. Lots of different types of birds to see. Allan was our guide and he was really knowledgeable and very pleasant. I would def recommend him. There were two types of canoes, 1 for 10$ per person, the other for 15$ per person. The guide was an additional reasonable amount and they come along in the canoe with you. For some reason our hotel told us it was 40$ per person but that ended up not being the case.

The canoe trip in the lake was good. There were tons of birds and the guides were quite knowledgeable. Afterwards, I went to the offices of The Small Things, the charity that runs the tour. They are an interesting and important organization, working to reunify families that had to give up a child. Worthwhile and worthy.

I enjoyed walking around Lake Duluti, birdwatching, and later enjoying the canoeing experience. My guide, Maria, was very helpful and knowledgeable about the birds that live in the lake and its surrounding areas. On our way up during the walking, we found a place where locals use it to worship. They believe one needs to be in tranquility to reflect on the Lord. Just pass them quietly as they continue with their prayers. #LakeDuluti #smalljoys #localtourism
