About Lake Duluti

Nestled at the foot of Mount Meru just outside Arusha, Lake Duluti is a serene crater lake surrounded by thick evergreen forests. It offers visitors a peaceful escape with excellent canoeing, birdwatching, and crater rim nature walks.

Lake Duluti is a picturesque crater lake formed within a volcanic crater just 20 minutes from the heart of Arusha. Encircled by a lush groundwater forest, it serves as a protected sanctuary for a wide variety of bird species, reptiles, and monkeys. Visitors can enjoy guided canoeing safaris across the calm waters with stunning backdrop views of Mount Meru, or take a peaceful walking trail around the steep crater walls. It is an ideal half-day nature excursion for travelers looking to unwind before or after a major safari or Kilimanjaro climb.
