A forest trail around the lake for birds, monkeys and butterflies.
A calm canoe or kayak paddle with a local boatman.
Twenty minutes from Arusha, so it fits around arrivals and departures.
Overview
Lake Duluti is a small crater lake ringed by a forest reserve. The trail is flat, shaded and quiet, and the water is calm enough for a first paddle.
It suits anyone who wants to stretch their legs after a flight, or fill a free afternoon before a safari. See Lake Duluti for more.
