CANOEING SAFARI TOURS IN TANZANIA
A unique perspective on Tanzanian wildlife and landscape
Canoeing safari tours in Tanzania offer a unique and serene way to explore the country’s stunning natural beauty and wildlife.
These tours typically involve paddling through calm waters, such as lakes, rivers, and wetlands, allowing you to get up close to animals and enjoy breathtaking landscapes. Here are some key highlights and destinations for canoeing safaris in Tanzani
For the country with both the biggest and the deepest lake in Africa, Tanzania visitors have relatively little opportunity for canoeing safaris. The only areas where game viewing can be done from a canoe are in Arusha National Park, Lake Duluti and in Lake Manyara National Park (if water level is sufficient). This is all canoeing on lakes, not rivers and the safaris are no longer than 3-hours.
We started our canoeing safari operations in Lake Manyara National Park after El Nino flooded most of the park and a canoe was a very sensible means of game viewing.
This was the first adventure activity to be allowed in any Tanzanian National Park and we are still the only outfitter allowed to operate this activity for the parks. A well trained our guide will accompany your canoe safari.
What to Expect on a Canoeing Safari
- Wildlife Viewing: Canoeing safaris are ideal for observing wildlife at close range in their natural habitats, often without disturbing them.
- Guided Experience: Safaris are led by experienced guides who ensure safety and share insights about the ecosystem.
- Tranquility: Paddling through serene waters offers a peaceful contrast to traditional game drives.
- Photography Opportunities: The unique perspective from the water provides excellent opportunities for capturing wildlife and landscapes.
