Details of Canoe Safari in Tanzania

A relaxing way to get closer to nature

Canoe safaris perfectly combine the excitement of a game drive with the relaxation of being out on the water in a place of great natural beauty.

Accompanied by a qualified guide, canoeists glide over the smooth lake water and take in the sights of giraffes, buffalo, elephants, hippos, waterbuck, bushbuck, and more. You can also expect to spot a huge variety of bird life.

If you're on safari in Tanzania, you can include a canoe safari in either Arusha National Park or Lake Manyara National Park.
