Canoeing in Lake Manyara National Park

The adventure typically begins at the Endala picnic site within the park. After a safety briefing, you’ll board stable two-person fiberglass canoes led by a qualified guide. The route follows the lake's shallow edges, where you can observe wildlife coming to drink without the noise of a vehicle engine. You’ll likely paddle through marshes and saline flats, spotting giraffes, buffalo, and a vast array of birdlife, including pelicans and kingfishers. The experience highlights the geological curiosities of the Rift Valley, including the hot springs on the western shore.
