Lake Duluti
Ziwa Duluti
A crater lake surrounded by forest about 12 km east of Arusha, good for canoeing, lakeside walks and birdwatching, with Mount Meru reflected in the water on clear days.
Lake Duluti lies near Tengeru, about 12 km east of Arusha. It is a small crater lake surrounded by a forest reserve. The lakeside loop trail takes about 1.5–2 hours, and the forest is home to many bird species and monkeys. The lakeside camp offers canoes and kayaks. On clear days you can see Mount Meru, and occasionally Kilimanjaro too. Entry to the forest reserve requires a small fee and a guide. It suits a relaxed half-day activity before or after a safari.
