Lake Manyara Canoe Safari

Lake Manyara now offers a rare and unforgettable twist on the traditional safari—a guided canoe experience that lets you explore its stunning shoreline and wildlife-rich waters from the seat of a two-person kayak. Paddling through the shallow, soda-rich lake, you’ll glide silently past thousands of birds, including seasonal flamingos, and catch close-up views of wildlife from a completely new angle.

This 2 to 3-hour experience, known as “Wildlife from Water,” brings you face-to-face with buffalo, giraffes, and elephants grazing along the banks, while hippos wallow nearby and aquatic birds soar and dive in every direction. It’s a peaceful yet thrilling way to engage with nature—without the hum of a vehicle or the dust of the road.

Led by a professional guide with deep knowledge of the lake’s ecosystem, the canoe safari is both safe and educational, perfect for nature lovers and photographers alike.

Whether you’re a seasoned safari-goer or a first-time visitor, this unique waterside adventure offers a fresh and immersive way to experience the beauty and biodiversity of Lake Manyara.
