Boating & Canoeing Safaris provide a peaceful and adventurous way to explore Tanzania’s rivers and lakes, offering close-up views of hippos, crocodiles, water birds, and sometimes elephants along the shores. These safaris are conducted in specially designed boats or canoes, guided by experts to ensure safety and wildlife insight. Ideal for photographers and nature lovers, this activity adds variety to the typical land-based safari. The best locations for boating and canoeing are Nyerere (Selous) National Park, Arusha National Park, and Lake Duluti near Arusha.
