CANOEING SAFARIS LAUNCHED IN ARUSHA NATIONAL PARK

Canoeing safari, yet another tourist attraction, has been introduced around one of the world famous lakes located in the Arusha National Park (ANAPA).

Canoeing safari on one of the Momela lakes, known as ‘Small’ Momela, has already taken off and we are satisfied with the initial response from tourists.

This is the second new tourist attraction to be introduced on the park recently. Another one to is a walking safari around the world famous Ngurudoto crater. The idea is to make visitors be able to have chances to observe everything in the natural world and view different animals in their various habitats under one roof.

The canoeing safari enables visitors to have a closer and natural look at hippos and bird life not easily seen on ordinary game safaris.

In 1995, Arusha National Park hosted only 7,000 visitors with the number shooting up to 28,000 during 2002\3. The number is likely to swell even further as already by July this year 30,000 people have visited the park.

Lying between the peaks of Kilimanjaro and Meru, Arusha National Park is an outstandingly beautiful area with wide range of habitats, form a string of crater lakes where many water birds can be watched through the highland mountain forest to the imposing summit of Mount Meru.
The forest contain a wealth of birds and other animals like the bushbuck easily glimpsed in between ancient cedar trees or the black and white colobus monkeys climbing along their branches.

The interesting geology of the area is reflected in the impressive view of the ash cone and cliff face leading to the summit of Mount Meru.

Those who ascend the summit of the mountain are rewarded with unparalleled views of the majestic Mt. Kilimanjaro and the Rift Valleys.
