Lake Duluti

A quiet forest-fringed crater lake on the edge of Arusha.

Lake Duluti is a calm crater lake ringed by a forest reserve a short distance from Arusha. Canoeing on the lake and walking the forested shoreline are the main activities, with strong birdlife including kingfishers and fish eagles.

Its proximity to the city makes it an easy half-day escape, often combined with a coffee-estate visit.
