Lake Duluti is a small but perfectly formed volcanic crater lake in the Arusha foothills — a hidden gem 15 km from the city centre. The one-hour guided canoe around the lake passes through dense papyrus beds alive with malachite kingfisher, pied kingfisher, and African jacana. The enormous African fish eagle calls from the trees above. Hippos occupy the deeper sections of the lake and viewing them from a silent canoe at water level is a genuinely thrilling experience. A forest walk around the lake rim completes the morning. The entire experience takes less than three hours — perfect for an early arrival day.
